Fernwood Campground and Resort

"Attendant was friendly, location beautiful and even his dog was cute. BUT, I had to listen to annoying Mexican music from about 9pm to about 4:30am. I don't care if it's employees or neighbors. People go to places like this and pay$$$ to hear nature, be in silence, not to feel like they are back in the city."

"We stayed in one of their motel rooms- for the price, quality is just not there. The rooms themselves are fine, but the walls are PAPER thin. Could hear every word of just basic conversation going on in the rooms on either side of us. Like the worst I have ever experienced in a hotel. Not to mention on Saturday nights they blast club music from the restaurant area. Overall just not the quiet retreat we were looking for- also no fridges or microwaves in the rooms. Location is good as a jumping off point for exploring the Big Sur area."

"We went to the restaurant, not the rooms, so this review is focused on the restaurant experience, which was very good. Food was probably a four star level, but delicious. Really liked the French Dip, crispy tater tots, and homestyle fried chicken sandwich. What made this place great is the outdoor patio where it felt like you were sitting in a forest of trees. Good service, too!"

"Great place to stay in Big Sur area. We stayed in an adventure tent. The tent was great and so was the bed and the restrooms/showers. The tavern was good for dinner and the general store had everything we needed. A bit pricey but I would come again."

"This was the most delightful surprise of our California vacation. I booked a one night stay for our family of four based on location, price, and recommendations. That said, I really didn't know how incredible the environment of this simple motel room would be. Our room B was great; recently renovated bathroom and a separate nook with a bed for the kids. (I actually ended up sleeping in this room because the master bed was too soft for my back, and the only reason I don't have 5 stars across the board.) We really enjoyed being in the motel but having access to the campground and the State Park adjoining the property. The restaurant on site was a magical surprise. Please ask to sit out back as the sun starts to set. The twinkling lights among the redwoods is just incredible, and it was so delightful to hear the sounds of the campground below. The general store was well appointed with camping needs as well as a cute ice cream and coffee shop."
