The campground opens mid-June through mid-October, when summer delivers the most reliable conditions. Mornings start cool and foggy around 50°F, clearing to sunny afternoons in the upper 60s to low 80s. River swimming and redwood hikes hit their stride during this window. Winter temperatures drop into the 30s and 50s, and the sites close for the season. Highway 1 and popular trailheads see moderate-to-high weekend crowds in summer, but the walk-in group sites stay relatively insulated from the traffic.
Open mid‑June to mid‑Oct; summer brings warmest, most reliable conditions and many positive reviews.

Group A & B Campgrounds at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park offer a variety of amenities including flush toilets, potable water, picnic tables, fire rings, and access to pay showers located in the main campground. These group campsites are designed for larger gatherings and feature shaded spots close to the Big Sur River. However, showers are not directly available within the group camping area but can be used in the main campground. Campers use the seasonal wooden footbridge to access the campsites and walk approximately 0.25 miles from the parking area.
