"It is only 2 miles away from Morro Rock and the adorable tourist town full of shops and eateries."
"You can find the entrance to TV Tower Road at the West Cuesta RIdge Trailhead."
"The drive up is a bit treacherous but nothing unbearable. Our car can off road quite well, but our friend had a Volkswagen Golf and it also did perfectly fine and never bottomed out."
$35 / night
"Staying here gives free access to driving onto the beach.
Lots of families and dogs. Noise wasn't a problem other than generators constantly running."

$25 - $150 / night
"You can camp just steps from Spooners Cove (great place for swimming!) in Islay Creek Campground. It’s in the Montana De Oro State Park."

$35 - $50 / night
"Dogs are not allowed on beach to protect endangered species but walking the camp road up to the main road gives enough elevation you can see the ocean and Morro rock in the distance, and the houses have"
"The site next to ours was occupied which made parking the trailer a little tricky- almost like parallel parking and the sites are close together like a parking lot."
$225 / night

$25 - $50 / night
"They do charge extra for dogs, $3.50/day/dog, but was well worth it as they have beautiful large dog parks a mile behind the campsite."
"Nice dog park. Nice couple of hikes in the park. Very quiet. Would definitely stay again."
ScoutWe stopped here for a few nights so we could hook up to shore power for a bit, do laundry, dump etc. The campground itself is small and old so the sites can be a little small for the larger rigs. Bathrooms and showers were clean. People who run it were extremely accommodating - it was difficult for us to access the dump hookup in our first assigned site (we have a macerater with a very short hose) so they moved us to a better site. Easy walking/biking access to Avila beach (4.8miles round trip), and quick drive from Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo. They allow leashes pets and have a small dog park and pet “walk,” and while these are great, I also like to walk my dog around the whole campground when we can’t take her walks elsewhere, and this campground is very limiting. They have several signs up where dogs aren’t allowed.
Overall, this is a great location if you want access to the beach and nearby towns with nice basic amenities.
ScoutIt was a very nice place got a great spot next to bathrooms and dog park.
TravelerAmazing park, the staff were extremely friendly and the grounds were very clean. Bathrooms were very clean snd always stocked. Showers are a dollar, but you get a lot longer than you would expect.
They do charge extra for dogs, $3.50/day/dog, but was well worth it as they have beautiful large dog parks a mile behind the campsite.
There is also a large children's park, sports fields, and a botanical garden (which does cost extra).
Morrow bay beaches are 10-15 minutes away. Sylvester's burgers is also only 15 minutes away, which is well worth the drive.
18 Primitive that can easily fit trailers/RVs and they have full hookup sites as well.
Only downside is you are right next to highway 1, so it's a little noisy, but not horrible.
Doordash will also deliver here!
TravelerWe camped at Cava Robles about 6 months after it opened. We saw the two pools which were very nice. Didn't use them because it was too cold (we were there in February). They also have at least two dog parks and took our high energy dog there to run. They also have a great playground for the kids. There is also a little hiking/walking trail around the campground.
TravelerThis is a clean quite place to stay. Only about 5 min from Paso Robles. nice dog park for your dog.
GuideI’m a newbie camper but really enjoyed this campground. Stayed in Chumash. Sites were big enough and private enough. Nice dog park. Nice couple of hikes in the park. Very quiet. Would definitely stay again.
ScoutMy Fiancé, two sons and I stopped here as a halfway point on our way to Huntington Beach. We’re definitely going to be going back for a minimum of two nights! The resort is clean, super friendly and has so much more to do than one quick night would fit. Dog parks, kid parks, a pool etc! The only thing was the Bistro was closed (because of covid) otherwise we can’t wait to go back and bring our friends!!
TravelerWe have gone twice in the last couple months to this campground. The first time was because it was the last spot available anywhere in slo county and we wanted to take our 2 young kids camping. We enjoyed the fact that there was a park a short walk from the campground and a nice hike down the road past the park. There is also a dog park, golf course and botanical garden within walking distance. The only con is that you can hear the highway from the campground but it’s honestly not horrible. We stayed 4th of July weekend the first time and the golf course set off a big booming firework both nights at 11 pm on the dot which was pretty annoying. The 2 times we have gone people are very respectful of the quiet times. The showers were above my expectations and the bathrooms were very clean. I believe it’s $3 for 5 minutes in the shower. The water pressure was strong and the water was HOT. The bishop loop is pretty exposed during the day but the hook up loops have a ton of shade. My family will probably go back and it’s only about 25 minutes from our house.
TravelerJalama Beach offers great walks along a long beach that is nestled in a cozy bay. Surfers, couples & families can enjoy this beautiful place. Watch for tar on the sand & pack some petroleum jelly to help remove it in case you step on it barefoot. There’s a small freshwater stream that flows right into the shore where your pets & kids like to splash around & play. Lots of driftwood & rocks pepper the shore so bring water shoes.
