Loved our campsite's proximity to an ugly parking lot and the traffic noise of Highway 1, the view from our campsite of two storm drains in the"creek," and the Ventana Inn's Glamper-luxury-vehicle thoroughfare lighting at night!

But the best part! The demeaning, rude behavior of the camp"host." First campsite assigned to us, perched over the highway, was so thunderous we asked to be moved."Host" was not accommodating-- she was disrespectful and too busy to be bothered-- and ended up putting us in the"only other campsite available," even though there were empty sites everywhere, which she said were"reserved."(When you go to reserve on the campground's website, you find you cannot reserve a particular campsite. She informed us that the night before your arrival a computer assigns campsites and she was powerless to change things. Who set this system up?)

I've been California camping since I was two, and that means for 50 years, including countless times in Big Sur State Park. I thought I'd pay the extra money to have a quiet, peaceful, upgraded long weekend with my family. I cannot recall a more miserable ordeal being so appallingly treated by this host, and in front of my son.

Oh, but the bathrooms were clean.
