Most likely all of them. This Pineapple Express is going to be a big one, I just hope it doesn't affect or trip. Does anyone have a chainsaw they can bring? We may just need one.

I will be headed up from Southern California taking Old Coast Road going north. Does anyone know where the entrance for this road is coming the south (maybe plasket creek road)? I will be headed up on 1/27 and will most likely meet up with everyone on 1/28. This will be the beginning of my 3.5 week road trip up the entire west coast of CA, OR, WA. I am kinda just traveling where the wind takes me and plan on meeting with people along the way. Any of you guys taken Old Coast Road up are there other campsites along the road?

From the south, old coast road starts out right next to the main entrance of Andrew Molera State Park. There is no camping along it as far as I know.
South coast ridge road will take you to the campsite this thread is talking about and you can either take will creek road or plaskett creek road to get to it. If you take will creek you will ride south coast ridge road in its entirety which is fun. It is fairly rough road and I would expect it to be pretty washed out with the rains we are getting right now. There are certainly makeshift campsites along south coast ridge road that you can camp at.
Also highly recommend getting or printing a map of the area to show you the trails and dead ends and such.

I'll be in that area JAN 27-29...I'll link up with you folks. Haven't been up Naciemento since da closure.
@maktruk Try to get the camp sites at 35°58'09.3"N 121°27'01.9"W The area has 2 designated camp sites with plenty of space for your trailer and our rigs.
Mmmm, good thinking brother! Maybe someone else can chime in with a recommendation?
Alms campsite is just a bit north of Prewitt, but I never been at that site.
They killed the fire ban right?
If not, we still got grilled cheez ;-)

Last time I was there, there were only one other car with dozens of spots to camp. Worst comes to worse, we split up for sleeping spots but hang with the overlandbound camp with the biggest fire until its time to sleep!
Here! The rig is facing south. If you look just past my hood you can see another spot. That is the one you originally discussed with the table and fire ring. Beyond that and past the trees to the left is the spot big enough for the trailer. Alms campsite is north on the dirt road a ways.
