Why it's hard to book

One of California's most competitive campgrounds

Pfeiffer Big Sur sits at the heart of the Big Sur coastline — one of the most searched camping destinations in the entire country. Its 201 campsites open for reservations exactly six months in advance on ReserveCalifornia, and most popular dates fill within the first few minutes of release.

Cancellations happen constantly as plans change, but they're nearly impossible to catch manually. A site might appear available for a few seconds before someone else books it — often in the middle of the night or at 8 a.m. when the day's cancellations post.

CampWatch monitors every site at Pfeiffer Big Sur every 5 minutes and sends you an email the moment one opens in your date range. No refreshing. No luck required.
