BIG SUR CAMPOUT!
A weekend filled with incredible ocean-view camping, whale watching from the campsite, great company & the beautiful California coastline!
We scored sites at the BEST ocean-view campground in Big Sur—these are nearly impossible to get! This trip fills up fast, so grab your spot ASAP for an unforgettable adventure!
Big Sur is often hailed as one of the most enchanting stretches of California’s coastline! We will spend our days whale watching, exploring scenic trails, hunting for sea glass, relaxing in hammocks, or flying kites on the beach. Our longstanding tradition of visiting Big Sur spans years, and if you haven't experienced its beauty, now is the perfect time to do so.
What to Expect
Ask any Californian, and they’ll tell you—Big Sur is a must-see gem of the California coast! Our campsite at the stunning Kirk Creek Campground offers full ocean views and has been named one of America’s Top 100 Campsites. Sites at this campground are incredibly hard to reserve, but we’ve secured the best location to escape the crowds and soak in unbeatable views. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!
Winter Whale Migration Information
"Gray whales can be seen from coast in Big Sur from December through February. On their northern migration, the Gray whales swim close to shore, with their babies on the shore side. This is often when the best viewing can take place because they are moving more slowly because of their young calves and also they are swimming against the current. The water is often filled with spouts going off one after another, looking like a long line of steam locomotives spouting out in the ocean." www.bigsurcalifornia.org
Itinerary
Day 1:
Welcome to Big Sur! We recommend arriving in time to watch the sunset from our campsite. We will spend the night getting to know the group around a warm fire. Your host will have a delicious camp dinner ready, and the group will gather for card games, s'mores, and starry skies! You can expect a yummy welcome dinner at the campsite when you arrive!
Day 2:
 Rise and Shine! When you wake up, fresh brewed coffee will be waiting. We will have a breakfast of champions prepared by your UD host.
After breakfast, we will pack sack lunches for the day (sack lunch supplies will be provided by UD, you assemble).
Our day hike will bring us to the historic Espinosa bluff on the gorgeous Vicente trail. This is a moderate hike at 5-6 miles round trip, offering outstanding views of the coastline,  wildflowers and rolling green hills! We have even seen migrating Gray whales from the trail in past years :D
Your host will prepare a dinner feast and the rest of the group will get drinks pouring (BYOB). We'll spend the night eating, drinking, dancing, and telling campfire stories!

We’ll kick off our final day with coffee and a delicious breakfast to fuel up!
After packing up camp (check-out is by 12 PM), we’ll head home with optional stops at iconic spots along the drive for a few more amazing photo ops.
