Hearst Castle is about ten miles (approximately ten to 15 minutes) north of Cambria Pines Lodge on Highway One.

We do not sell tickets for Hearst Castle. As the State of California runs Hearst Castle, we are unable to offer discounts. Tickets can be purchased online at www.hearstcastle.org.

There is a walking path available from the Lodge to downtown Cambria. This "Nature Trail" is a mix of dirt trail and wooden steps with approximately 250 stairs from top to bottom. It is available at the risk and discretion of our guests. As the path is not lit, we do not recommend using it at night.

Moonstone Beach Drive is a little more than two miles away. It's about a five-minute drive from the Lodge.

There is one local taxi service, which can be reached at 805-927-4357.

Although guests are welcome to request a specific room number, we are never able to guarantee a specific room in advance due to potential unforeseen guest or maintenance issues. Room numbers are assigned at the time of check in and cannot be confirmed prior to arrival. If we are unable to accommodate a specifically requested room number and a guest wishes to cancel for that reason, s/he will be held to our cancellation policy.

Cancel your stay more than 48 hours in advance of check-in time (3pm) on the day of your arrival, otherwise, you will be charged full payment for one night plus tax. 

Cancellation policies may differ for group rates. For the Cambria Christmas Market and Lights at Cambria Pines, you must cancel your stay more than 14 days in advance of check-in time (3pm) on the day of your arrival, otherwise, you will be charged the full payment for your stay.
