Trip Details

Join us for a rejuvenating 3-day women’s retreat in breathtaking Big Sur. Nestled in the Los Padres National Forest, Kirk Creek Campground boasts sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the dramatic Big Sur coastline. During our time there, we’ll hike scenic trails, immerse ourselves in nature, practice yoga, unwind and nurture our well-being as we fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the ocean.


This trip is perfect for women who want to experience camping without the stress of managing logistics and permits. We take care of all the details, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy.

Meet at Kirk Creek Campground after 3pm on Friday, October 24th. We suggest carpooling and are happy to help coordinate. Our trip will end sometime after breakfast on Sunday October 26th.

 

Hikes

Our big hike will be 6 miles on the Vincente Flat Trail with 1700 elevation gain with sweeping ocean views and lookout points. The views of the Pacific on this hike are really stunning. We may also take shorter distance hikes on Friday & Sunday, which are encouraged but optional. 

Meals

We strive to bring gourmet camping meals with an impressive presentation. You can look forward to healthy, organic, and locally sourced dishes, and we lean towards plant-based options. We’re happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions—nut allergy? gluten free? No problem!
