We might have to look into Pismo one of these days. The wife and I love central California, but we always drove past that place.
We actually stayed at El Capitan canyon once. She loved it, but I’m not sure I classify that as “camping”…ha! I think their prices guarantee availability though.
In exchange from all the help everyone has provided I must mention we spent part of our honeymoon camping at Limekiln which is one of the southernmost spots in Big Sur and a really amazing place. You can actually have a campsite there that enables you to hear the river running by as well as waves crashing. It’s a really special place if you are in the area and also one of the ones on the list to close if that ever happens. They do not take reservations and if you show up midweek you tend to get a spot.
Sorry if I was kind of busy and did not contribute to the string as much, but it’s been busy at work and taking care of the baby.
