Limekiln State Park Campground
Limekiln State Park is along the southern Big Sur coast, 56 miles south of Carmel. The 711-acre park's main attractions include Limekiln Beach and 100-foot Limekiln Falls. The small, partially rocky beach is tucked between steep cliffs and falls under the shadow of the highway bridge. Although not a safe swimming beach, it is a popular stopping spot for picnics, sightseeing, and watching the sunset.
Limekiln State Park Campground has 27 campsites. Ten sites for small RVs, trailers, and tents are close to the beach and nearly under the bridge. Campers there enjoy the sound of the surf at night. Except for 3, most of those campsites are packed close together. Seventeen, more attractive, tent-only sites at Limekiln State Park Campground are set back from the ocean among the redwoods along Limekiln Creek. A narrow approach road means that the park cannot accommodate vehicles longer than 24 feet.
