Fernwood Resort and Campground
Quick Facts
Why Big Sur
Big Sur’s roughly 90-mile coastline is one of the most dramatic stretches of Highway 1, where redwood forests meet rugged Pacific cliffs and waterfalls drop straight onto the beach at spots like McWay Falls. This is genuinely wild, protected country, threaded through with hiking trails at Pfeiffer Big Sur and Andrew Molera State Parks.
Fernwood sits with a river running right through the property, giving guests a genuinely versatile Big Sur basecamp — tent sites, RV spots, and canvas tent cabins all in one place, with a social, come-as-you-are feel.
