Ventana Campground

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 of the traditional sites follow the existing contour of the canyon and Post Creek without disturbing its natural beauty. We have three modern bath houses and each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring with water faucets a short walk away. We are 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 cannot accommodate RV’s, motor homes, travel trailers or pop-up tent trailers. We do accept camper vans and trucks with roof tents or small campers on top (no longer than 22 ft.). Check-in is at 3:00pm and check-out is 11:00am Access provided in cooperation with the California Coastal Commission. California Campfire Permit required for any fire in the back country and can be obtained at the Big Sur Station or at www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/ FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5443507.pdf Please note that due to 2017 road closure some of these trails remain closed.
