Something for everyone. Lakes for the little ones and creeks to explore. For the more adventurous, there is canyonering and great places to go cliff jumping along the way to the small falls and then the rock bed pool on the upper side of the small waterfall. The waterfall is always going due to the redwoods collecting the fog and making rain in Big Sur. Bring water and dry bags if you are going t... Something for everyone.

We went there every summer until I was 15. Learned swim in the near by river. Out houses lined the back of a snack bar. Cement block with railing to dance and a huge jukebox. Loved it there. Where we camped they had a raised road going across the river that cars would cross. Don't know where the cars went though. Caught lots of Pollywog's, played in water a lot. Just loved it there.

So many people I mean Wall to Wall PEOPLE! Such loud music blasting every where even at the campground but so much worse at the Day Use and it the only swimming spot that isn't a 2 hour brutally hot walk then super steep descent to the river. There is no drinking water and the entire area gets to over 100 degrees daily! Any ice you bring for a cooler will never be enough and you will have to dri...

Nice dark starry night at this location. We joined the Cabrillo College Astronomy class camping trip. The group camp sites were alright with primitive toilets (clean) and one water faucet conveniently located near one of the sites. I took lots of pictures of the sky. A bit dusty and windy at times! Gets very cold at nights while very hot during the day. Nice lake to swim in the hot days!
