That's about the only spot to camp in the entire area, and it's a campground (if you use them). That coast is so protected, there is nowhere to camp along it until you reach a couple of other campgrounds just approaching the Big Sur area. I did head up the Ferguson road (sot sure if that's the name) to remotely camp in the coastal range.
