Overall a nice campground. Site 3 was clean, level, nice fire-ring, and next to small creek. The two parking spots were shallow: They fit my small SUV, but a full sized PU may not. Tent space good for large 6-man tent. Bathrooms were mixed. Clean with flush toilets. Showers were Pay but had no hot water. Some sites need to climb up or down from car. Campground in canyon with all the shade. I would stay here again.

Some hike in campsites are far and steep to get there. Only 2 showerooms with freezing cold water for a bunch of sites. Overprices for the site and overprices for shower too. I am not recommend fhis one. Never come back.

This is a very quiet and relaxing camping ground. Will visit again. Restroom yes, table yes, trash area yes, dog friendly.

Beautiful campground. Big enough and flat spots to camp. The river crosses the whole campground so there are spots literally next to it. Too expensive for a campground though, was the only one available but we’d choose another cheaper if we have the option .

A bit overpriced for the value. They charge a premium for the Ventana name but all of the amenities are with the hotel and not the campground. They advertised an airstream that is only open 2 days a week. Tent and campsite were decent, showers were clean. Firewood and ice were expensive. Would recommend you camp at a cheaper location and eat breakfast at Sur House for the view.
