This is pretty much the only place you have on disposal between Monterey and Big Sur - if you don’t want to pay 120 USD for camp in Big Sur which we didn’t. The place is rather quiet. We arrived around 10 PM and stayed until 6AM and there was not much traffic on that road. Only problem - it gets quite cold in the night (in August) around 50 F / 10 C and having a sleeping bag would help.
