Andrew Molera SP

Daytime roadwork continues on Highway 1 on the Rocky Creek Viaduct project approximately 10 miles north of the park.  Expect up to 10 minute delays 7am-5pm. The overnight closures on Highway 1 continue Sunday-Thursday from 9pm-7am on a week by week basis. Check the Caltrans press release page for the most recent updates (http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist05/projects/rocky_crk/index.htm). During these closures visitors will not be able to arrive from or depart to the north. There will be no overnight closures on Friday or Saturday nights. Construction on this project is expected to continue through Labor Day 2013.

In the spectacular Big Sur area, this park is still relatively undeveloped and offers visitors great hiking and beachcombing.

Miles of trails wind through meadows, beaches and hilltops. A primitive walk-in trail camp, popular with hikers and bikers, is located approximately one third mile from the parking area.

Andrew Molera SP Trail Camp

There are 24 identified sites. Camping is allowed only at these sites with a maximum of four people per site. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The establishment of 24 sites with a limit of four people per site will allow for maximum availability of individual campsites, yet continue to meet the required carrying capacity. Due to these changes, however, group camping at Trail Camp is no longer feasible. Dogs are not allowed in Trail Camp, on any trails, or at the beach. Please contact the park for additional information.

Bridge Notice - Seasonal bridges that cross the river are installed, depending on seasonal conditions, from around June through October.
