Camping on Interstate 5 around the 46 in California?

Hi All, I'll be taking a little trip to Big Sur this week and want to stop somewhere around the intersection of the 5 and the 46 for just one night on the way. Any recommendations? I don't need hookups, but do like it a bit quiet and peaceful with something to look at..

Thanks in advance!

    Go on to Paso Robles. There are at least three nice rv parks there. We prefer the one on the east side. The one on the north side of town and on the west side of the 101 looks good, but the one on the east side just north is way too close to the 101.

    It's a lower cut over to the coast via 58 where it hits 101 only 12 miles from where 46 does.

    Personally, if I was headed out 46 towards Big Sur I would drive another hour to Paso Robles. There is *very* little to look at in the SW corner of the San Juaquin valley in my opinion.

    Have you considered the Nacimiento road over to Big Sur area? Not the fastest route for sure, but quite a scenic drive that few people experience. Don't do it if you have a fear of heights.....
