A glowing tent sits in a forest clearing among tall trees at dusk, with smoke rising from a campfire. A picnic table and benches are nearby, and a small stream runs through the foreground.

A refined way to experience Big Sur

Some places ignite the imagination. They shift our perspective, offering both serenity and transformation. Big Sur is one of those places. Wake up to the beauty of a 40-acre redwood canyon, where tent-only sites follow the natural contours of Post Creek for a truly undisturbed retreat.

Sleep deeply on a custom-designed mattress and premium linens in your safari-style canvas tent. Light up the fire pit, make s’mores and tell stories—or just let the landscape do all the talking. It’s a luxury camping experience, a more refined way to connect with the outdoors and experience the full splendor of Big Sur.
