Ventana Campground

I have stayed here 4 times, and I obviously loved it enough to stay again most recently last week. I do prefer the redwood cabins over the canyon glamping experience. I am a person who has to make multiple trips to haul their stuff up to the site. It is a hike to get into that site. I was lucky enough to stay in the same Canyon cabin that I stayed at during my first visit. When I first came there... I have stayed here 4 times, and I obviously loved it enough to stay again most recently last week. I do prefer the redwood cabins over the canyon glamping experience. I am a person who has to make multiple trips to haul their stuff up to the site. It is a hike to get into that site. I was lucky enough to stay in the same Canyon cabin that I stayed at during my first visit. When I first came there were restrooms and more amenities. There was a convenience to the canyon cabins. Each year I have come here the amenities have decreased. Most recently all the restrooms were removed. Meaning, if you needed to use the restroom you would have to hike down for 5 mins to get to the bath house. As a woman this is a disservice to us all, especially for someone who may need to use the restroom at any given point at night. And it is pitch black at 5:30PM. Walking down a dirt and loose graveled ground in the dark with even a lantern is not ideal nor comfortable. This is where the glamping was non existent. Additionally the surf stream was not open once during my stay. The towels given to me during the stay as well were stained and had brown markings on them. This was never an issue prior. I loved coming here, but I am reluctant to book another stay.

A true outdoor glamping experience! Tucked into redwoods. Beautiful sites, extremely nice yurts with amenities. Sink, gas fireplace and a real bed with enough blankets to keep you warm. CLEAN bathroom trailers near your site and a fully equipped bathhouse. This is not a freaking hotel room. You are really in the redwoods and if you are in glamping sites 7-10 it’s a serious climb from parking to... A true outdoor glamping experience! Tucked into redwoods. Beautiful sites, extremely nice yurts with amenities. Sink, gas fireplace and a real bed with enough blankets to keep you warm. CLEAN bathroom trailers near your site and a fully equipped bathhouse. This is not a freaking hotel room. You are really in the redwoods and if you are in glamping sites 7-10 it’s a serious climb from parking to your site. Expect to encounter lots of bugs and hear raccoons and other forest creatures at night. (But the fully equipped yurt keeps the bugs out) If a tree branch falls - that’s what it happens in the forest. 🤦‍♂️ Or maybe complain that it’s foggy 🤷‍♂️ If you don’t want any of these things then stay at an actual hotel 🤣

AVOID!!! RATS IN THE ROOM! Yes the tent is small, the parking is too far away from the tent, and everything is very small, but these are “not good but ok”, however, one thing I cannot accept is there are RATS in the room and you cannot avoid them! There are holes on the tent cover everywhere and even there are some spaces that have wide open entrance for the rats that you cannot block(See the vid... AVOID!!! RATS IN THE ROOM!

There are holes on the tent cover everywhere and even there are some spaces that have wide open entrance for the rats that you cannot block(See the video). All my stuff have a cover but rats are just there the whole night(come in and out all the time) and make you unable to sleep. And the rats just shit everywhere! I know it is normal to see animals because it is in the forest but the tent provider should make sure no animal should be able to go inside the tent! Or at least have a bear box that can lock stuff in it. Nope, there is nothing in this campground and you cannot avoid seeing rats or animals in your tent. I reported this to the management team and they said they will “TRY TO address this issue, TRY TO improve the situation, TRY TO refund me on my stay”, and I have been contacting them daily regarding this and there is no action item nor refund, they just keep saying “I’m sorry about this but I know nothing about this, let me transfer you to my colleague” and I feel like I am a ball being kick around. Cannot imagine this is from Hyatt. Worst experience!

I spent New Year’s at Ventana Campground, and it was an incredible experience! The campground is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The entire area was super clean, and the bathrooms were well-maintained with warm showers—a huge plus for any camping trip! I loved how secluded it felt while still being conveniently close to nearby stores in case you... I spent New Year’s at Ventana Campground, and it was an incredible experience!

I loved how secluded it felt while still being conveniently close to nearby stores in case you need to grab any extra camping gear or supplies. Everything about the stay was smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Ventana Campground for anyone looking for a perfect escape into nature with all the comforts you need. Can’t wait to come back!
