Basic Details:
BIG SUR CAMPOUT!
An Epic Memorial Day Weekend of Waterfalls, Hikes & Beaches!
Join us for an unforgettable 3-night, 4-day adventure this Memorial Day Weekend (Friday–Monday)! We'll be soaking in the stunning beauty of Big Sur, one of California’s most iconic coastlines, camping under the redwoods, and exploring hidden gems with a group of awesome new friends.
What to Expect:
Ask any Californian... Big Sur is at the top of their list for jaw-dropping natural beauty. Towering redwoods, dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and winding coastal trails make it a place that feels both wild and peaceful, like stepping into another world.
Itinerary
Day 1:
Welcome to Big Sur! Arrive anytime, but check-in begins at 4pm. Your host will be there to greet you at the campsite. Those who arrive early can catch an ocean sunset!
We’ll settle in with a cozy campfire, light dinner, card games, s’mores, and starry skies. It’s the perfect chance to unwind and start connecting with the group.
Day 2:
Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and a hearty breakfast cooked by your host. Then we’ll pack lunch and head out for a scenic hike—including Pfeiffer Beach, bluff trails with ocean views, and redwood forest hikes.
The afternoon is ours to explore! Chill on Pfeiffer Beach, go sea glass hunting, or kick back at camp.
As evening rolls in, we’ll gather for an epic campfire feast, music, stories, dancing, and good ol’ camp shenanigans. (BYOB if you want to sip something under the stars.)
Day 3:
Another beautiful morning, another tasty breakfast. Then it’s time to check out, but the adventure’s not over!
On our way out, we’ll stop by McWay Falls and Bixby Bridge for iconic photo ops and coastal views. We will get in another awesome coastal hike along the way. There will be plenty of vista points along the drive— don't worry, we will make some extra stops and savor the journey.
In the afternoon, we’ll have some group games, optional exploring, and a mellow evening to soak up our last full night. Expect a more low-key dinner, firelight conversations, and peaceful vibes under the stars.
Day 4:
We’ll ease into our final morning with fresh coffee and a relaxed group breakfast. After that, we’ll start packing up camp and getting ready to head out.
For those who have extra time, there will be an optional short hike scenic stop on the way out, perfect for one last moment of Big Sur magic before hitting the road.
Check-out is by 12pm, but you're welcome to linger and explore a bit more if your schedule allows!
