Space for Meaningful Outdoor Recreation (S’MORE)

Zander Westbrook Design, in collaboration with Ventana Wildlife Society (VWS), the State Coastal Conservancy, and California State Parks, created a proposal for a new group campground and support facilities for families to experience the beauty of Big Sur in Andrew Molera State Park, separate from the existing public campground. This proposed campground and accompanying facilities will be called Space for Meaningful Outdoor Recreation Big Sur, or S’MORE. The site improvements will provide a picnic pavilion with a rustic kitchen, accessible parking, and a small amphitheater, and will enable VWS to expand programming and enhance experiences in nature for those most in need.

Andrew Molera State Park is a 7.5-square-mile state park located in the southern region of Carmel on the Big Sur coast of California. S’MORE Campground, which is situated in a meadow near the Big Sur River, connects to the state park through a ¼-mile hike-in trail system.
