Ventana Campground in Big Sur, located approximately 65 miles north of San Simeon and 30 miles south of Carmel, is an amazing 40-acre redwood canyon. All the traditional sites follow the existing contour of the canyon and Post Creek without disturbing its natural beauty. We have two modern bath houses, and each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring with water faucets a short walk away. The campground is centrally located near general stores, restaurants, cafes, gift shops, delis, taverns, and the post office in the Big Sur community.

Ventana Campground is a tent-only campground. We are not able to accommodate RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, pop-up tent trailers, camper vans, trucks with roof tents or small campers on top.

Check-in is at 4:00 p.m. and checkout is 11:00 a.m.
