Good ol fire at night..perfect
We camped right next to a river
We went camping this weekend in Big Sur. Joe drove the RV and I followed him in the Honda. I don't know if you know this, but one of my biggest irrational fears is driving south on Highway 1 because of it's twists and turns. So driving to Big Sur was a big moment in my small little life. And I was perfectly fine, surprisingly. It was a beautiful ride.
Once we got to our campground and set up shop, we drove down a little further down the 1 to check out where the Esalen Hot Springs were located. The Hot Springs are open to the public by Reservation Only from 1:00am to 3:00pm. Clothing optional! Once we got back to our campground site, we had a fire, drank some vino and beers, ate some burritos and took a little cat nap. We then woke up and drove to the hot springs. It was a once in a lifetime experience. These hot springs are located right off the Pacific Ocean with a silent and quiet room. Both rooms have individual clawfoot baths and stone whirlpool tubs that overlook the ocean. The silent room in enclosed with the back door exposed to hear the ocean. The quiet room has no walls, so you can bath outside and see the beautiful stars. You can stretch on one of the massage tables, or take a nap listening to the waves crash. The water is very hot. There is also a room with showers that has no back wall, so you can literally shower while looking at the ocean. It's ridiculous and anyone who visits us I promise we will take you there. Really, can you think of a experience where you can bath in hot mineral water, look at the stars, and hear the ocean crash? Hands down one of the best things we've ever done.
Wow, that looks amazing! What campsite is that?
