An amazing place for hang gliders, campers & hikers. We are locals who live on Prewitt Ridge & Alm's Ridge in Big Sur, Ca. Be sure to pack out everything you brought in!.In late May, it was in the high 50s down on highway 1, but in the high 70s, low 80s up on the Ridge. Is it fire season? Check to ensure if fires are allowed or if you are restricted to propane stoves.Try to allot enough day time to actually get up to the site.
The closest Gas station is 16 miles South in Gorda. Make sure to have at least half a tank of gas before you go up there.You wont get another water source unless you drive down the mountain. Look up the current sunset time and try and arrive with time to spare. Look for one with a metal fire ring and maybe even a picnic table. There's a bunch of spaces available, most with the most epic views. Make sure you take extra water, food, and firewood. From hiking trails to open space and often friendly neighbors, this site is a camper's dream. Although a bit time consuming to drive the road safely, I've seen every type of car do it (even Honda Civics). It is a dirt road that winds its way along too many switchbacks to count until to part ways to drive the ridge road that dead ends into the campground. You have to climb it to get to the fire road that allows access to the campsite and it's just not the kind of road that most people would consider easy. Let me start with the reason no one goes there - Nacimiento-Fergusson road. These are the reasons why PR remains a hidden gem and allows campers immense space and notable views, even on busy holiday weekends. While Prewitt Ridge is an officially designated campground in the Los Padres National Forest, it's "dispersed camping," meaning there's no reservations, no toilets, and no running water. It has even been described as "the most beautiful car camping spot on god's green earth" and that doesn't do it justice. Please remember to pack all of your trash out.Īfter much time in Big Sur, it became quickly apparent that Prewitt Ridge is the crown jewel of camping in the area. Prewitt Ridge offers up indescribable Big Sur coastline from above. Enjoy dispersed camping in the Los Padres National Forest.
