Glamping on the Edge at Ventana Big Sur

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.

We had campsite 28, surrounded on 3 sides with forest and only neighbors were down slope 27 and 26. It's approx 200 feet incline to the passing 26 and 27 to get to 28. Our wagon came in handy hauling our stuff up the slope. Spent 4 nights and very enjoyable and quiet. Toilets & shower maybe 5-7 minute walk away

Smaller camping spot compared to other places we've visited. Yet, just being in Bog Sur, we loved the conveniences. The shower coin is $2 per 5 min. we bought a bunch for the whole family for 3 days. However it gives you hot water just about a minute during the 5 minutes, my kids didn't want to take the risk. :( The shower has two open windows, so taking a shower early morning or late night I was really cold.

Site 23 is awesome, this campground is absolutely beautiful, but with the reputation and cost I expected more. They charge an additional $2 for 5 minutes of showering, in cold water, then scalding, then cold. I was here a week I never got a hot shower. The bathrooms near my campsite (also near the closed airstream snack store) were locked all week. It was a long walk to the bathroom, up a steep grade to get back to the tent... we are in tents here... we need a bathroom sometimes in the night, not hiking that far to get to one... and we are paying a decent rate to camp here. I have tent camped all over and honestly Minnesota state parks have better shower facilities. And the rules they print, I've seen two roof top tents that are supposedly not allowed. Despite that, I would stay in this amazing canyon again. Oh, be careful reserving some sites are very small, and very close together. If you need room for two tents it could be an issue. Oh and there is a beer pong tournament happening at one loud site tonight. I expect more from this resort property. Hilton do better!

I LOVED this camp ground! We had a hike in spot and wouldn’t have it any other way. Online registration was very easy and if you want firewood it goes on the card on file. The staff at the front gate was super nice, the bathrooms were very reasonably clean, and the restaurant at the front had cute merchandise and free wifi (food was a little pricey). Lots of little shops down the road as well. Overall, an amazing get-a-way :)
