Best Campground Alternatives to Big Sur

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on where to camp next time I'm driving down the coast from SF. Been doing a lot of research and can't seem to find any decent options along Highway 1 past Pfeiffer Big Sur. Anyone have experience with campsites in Point Lobos or maybe even farther south? Would love to hear about your favorite spots that aren't too crowded.
