Access and laundry
Accessible parking and a path serve the store and laundry. The shop's aisles are narrow, and staff can assist customers inside. The campground laundry is next door.

Guide
Pfeiffer Big Sur Camp Store is the campground's small retail stop, near sites 54 and 26 and beside the laundry. It's separate from the Big Sur Lodge general store. This makes most sense as a service stop for people camping in the south loops, not as a separate Big Sur attraction.
The campground map marks the store, but its current operator, schedule and product range aren't confirmed. Bring anything you need for sure, or check ahead before you depend on the store for it.
