Lovely setup with gorgeous views of Big Sur. The sites were clean, well positioned and everything was build very thoughtfully and in tune with the surrounding nature.

Great spot to camp with good proximity to the beach and a cute creek. Different spots to camp at in the same area with good privacy. Had the essentials.

A Place to Camp
Overall a good experience. It was hard to find the exact entrance, and being right off hwy 1, it wasn’t a road I wanted to drive up and down looking for. Grounds were maintained but had random stuff scattered about. Tent sites are more first come instead of a formal reservation.

My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time at this place. The ranch is pretty magical. Beautiful flowers everywhere, berries to pick on the walk to the beach, epic views all around! Each camp site is beautiful and special in its own way:) It’s a very well taken care of camp, all facilities work wonderfully! You can tell there’s a lot of love put into the place.
The animals are super sweet and friendly but try to encourage the kitties to go to their home, they might try to hang around campers but just remember they have a job to do for the farm!

My friends and I absolutely loved staying on Gene’s land! The view of the ocean and mountains was beautiful and the sound of the creek was so lovely at night. The outdoor shower was really relaxing as well! Would definitely stay here again. :)

Remote camping off the California Coast. Tent sites overlook a babbling brook and a quick hike to the beach.

Upon arrival, Gene showed us around a bit and wanted us to take advantage of what they had to offer here. This property is something else. We were lucky to be the only campers during our visit. Felt relatively secluded besides the few cars driving through the 1. You can tell that this property is a place of community and full of love for the environment. Stoked to come back again one day!

Gene's camp was fantastic. Hop, skip, and a jump from anything in lower Big Sur. All the amenities and the sounds of the creek were ama to fall asleep to. Big shoutout to Nacho the cat for keeping us company all weekend. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back.

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!!

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 :)

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 !

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.

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!

What a beautiful property! Very friendly hosts along with friendly visits from the cats and dogs. Easily one of the most unique campsites I’ve ever been to and plan on returning someday!

I’ve set up camp here on two different trips up the coast now and it’s becoming one of my favorite places to call home base! Gene and his family have built a small paradise here, are accommodating to any requests we’ve ever had, and are just as open to hanging around the campfire for dinner as they are to letting you have your space or explore the land.
Will def be coming back to hang with the cats, dogs, and chickens too!!

Amazing spot to rest up for a night and enjoy a little canyon in Big Sur. We parked in their second drive way with our van, Arrival from Cambria was easy, right off the PCH in Late March 2025. Super nice family, were fun to chat with about life on the coast and shaping surf boards. Will come by again if we are on the south side of Big Sur

Loved camping out at this site. Was my 2nd time here! Creek is nature's best white noise. Just wished it wasn't rainy and windy this trip haha.

Definitely a great place! Recommend getting there before dark as it can be hard to find. Be prepared for minimal to no cell service during your stay. The host(s) were great and willing to assist in any way possible. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful spot with cats roaming everywhere. Me and my friends stayed over night and it was so beautiful, quiet, and so fun. You can walk down to the beach and hangout my the creek. Lots of exploring.

Honestly, never made it there because we left somewhat late and got lost in the dark so found another campsite, but the host was very communicative with quick replies which was much appreciated so I wanted to comment on that. There were road closures that were not listed on google maps, so next time I would definitely leave much earlier to leave plenty of time to get there.

Beautiful property with lots of campsites. Also some friendly dogs and cats. Everything you need here for a comfortable camping experience including hot showers, hot water in outdoor sinks, kitchen nooks, filtered water and compost toilets. Very close to the beach as well (5 minute hike) and also next to a nice creek. It was a great home base for exploring the southern part of Big Sur for a few days. Had a great experience and will be back again for sure!

Hard to get to from the north, but SO worth it!! Lovely location, and I loved their little cat. February was a lovely time to come here. Weather was incredible, creek was running, and the sky was clear. Accommodations were awesome. Would totally come again.

first, Gene terrible with communication. asked a question before arriving and never got a reply. This place has its pros and cons. I don't think their business is their priority. We enjoyed our 1 night there and the night sky make it all the more worth it. however, not what we expected. The location was fun. property leads to the beach/ocean through a trail under the bridge. The signs to get there were not as clear/big as the ones telling you to "stay out" "private property" "enter at your own risk". Once arrived, we were confused. it looked like a mess (toys everywhere) and there was no designated campsite. We met one of the host who attempted to help us but honestly confused me more. you just had to find somewhere that worked for you. most spots she point to looked overgrown except the ones already taken. We made ourselves comfortable by the creek and camped in our car. the outdoor kitchen with running water was a pleasant addition, but also not maintained well. For the price, it would not be my first choice.
