Ventana Campground

Ventana Campground

Ventana Campground is located in a beautiful 40 acre, Redwood tree filled canyon on California's Central Coast. Offering tent camping only, no RV sites available. All sites follow the existing contour of the canyon and Post Creek without disturbing its natural beauty. Some tent sites can be hiked to, and some you can park next to.

All have a picnic table and fire ring. We also have three modern bathhouses with hot showers for your convenience. Centrally located near general stores, restaurants, cafes, gift shops, delis and taverns.

On Highway 1, 65 miles North of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA, and 30 miles South of Carmel, CA.

• Dogs must be quiet, on leash at all times and stay in campsites or roads. Please clean up after your dog.
• No dogs left unattended.
