A Place to Camp

This place was amazing! 10/10, will, do, and have recommended. It’s so peaceful and quiet. Please remember keeping it clean is a team effort!

Redwood Room Gazebo

We loved this place! We only stayed on night along our drive home. Really nice coming from the north even though Hwy 1 north of the property was closed. A beautiful/ kinda scary drive but if you go slow, it’s an experience. Reminded me of the road to Hana! lol! You gotta be into rustic vibes. Epic view, full moon rise. Creek side fire. We are it up! The redwood Gazebo is up a steep hill. We backpacked up with our sleeping bags, pillows and other little essentials. We wish we would have done all our business down low before we hiked up. I’d bring a couple libations and snacks. Chilling up in the perch is epic! We will be back!!

A Place to Camp

We loved camping at Dabudage. Great location, easy to access from the South and an awesome way to camp in Big Sur without having to plan a year in advance. Lots of space between tent sites. Kid and dog friendly! We’ll be back :)

A Place to Camp

Incredible weekend stay. My boyfriend and I go to school in the city and Dabudage was exactly the escape we were hoping it to be. Green, cozy, safe, rustic. The owners are very nice amenable people who we enjoyed talking too. Very chill vibe in general. I would absolutely reccomend !

Redwood Room Gazebo

This was our second time camping here and it was just as lovely as the first. All the little animals are adorable. The kitchen is always helpful. The Redwood Room Gazebo was a great site! Worth the short hike up and down.

A Place to Camp

We camped here for a night in a tent. The place has all the facilities mentioned including hot water, kitchenette and a shower. Some of the camping sites were a little overgrown (but still flat) but the ones by the river are definitely very nice! The steam flows through the property and sounds so peaceful. The beach is right opposite the property and is a very short walk. The host seemed pretty helpful and has done a good job maintaining all the provided facilities. I would definitely recommend camping here!
