Camp Pico Blanco is a Boy Scout camp nestled along the Big Sur River, offering day-use access to the general public. While primarily a summer camp for Scouts, its grounds include well-maintained hiking trails that meander through redwood groves and along the river. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, swimming in the river's clear pools, and exploring the camp's rustic facilities. The camp provides a peaceful, family-friendly environment with a sense of history, as it has been in operation since the 1920s. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed outdoor outing away from the highway traffic.
