About this campground

Ventana Campground in Big Sur California offers primitive tent camping at 80 campsites strategically placed to take advantage of the existing contours of the canyon without disturbing the natural beauty. Each campground has a fire ring, a picnic table, and running water nearby. The campground is supported by three bathhouses that include hot showers, electrical sockets, and flush toilets.

What campers say

Ventana Campground in Big Sur earns praise for clean, modern restrooms, well‑maintained grounds, and a popular Airstream/SurStream with food and drinks (seasonal hours). Glamping tents draw strong positive comments for heated blankets, housekeeping, and roomy setups. Sites vary widely: some are spacious and private while others are close together, and certain sites sit near a road with nighttime traffic noise; hike‑in sites (higher numbers) tend to feel more secluded. Practical notes: showers may require paid tokens, RVs aren’t well accommodated, occasional mosquitoes, and a few guests reported overbooking or refund delays. Cell service and nearby trails are often cited as conveniences.
