TravelerThis is just a glorified parking lot with tons of aggressive and loud chirping squirrels. We were in sites 19 and 10. Site 19 faced the beach but it was really the shrubs. Some sites that face the beach do have a nice view of the ocean but 19 did not. Site 10 is literally a parking space with a strip of dirt and table and fire ring. You are right next to your fellow campers and it at least makes for some great people watching because you are literally right in the middle of the street.
The beach is another story. I am from SoCal and my husband is from SoFlo and we were not impressed with the beach at all. It smells, has lots of unsightly and strange looking seaweed that I wouldn’t want to ever encounter if I was in the ocean. Morro Rock was there but the fog covered it up most of the time. Come if you want to but there are much better places out there. I hear that Point Magu State Park is way better.
TravelerI was extremely disappointed with my experience at Franklin Hot Springs. The property looks nothing like the pictures on their website. When I arrived, I was shocked to find that the‘campsites’ consisted of nothing more than a post in the ground with a picnic table nearby, all set in an area that resembled a junkyard. The facilities were in terrible condition—the bathrooms, showers, and swimming pool were dirty and had an overwhelming mildew smell. I couldn’t bring myself to use any of them. The overall atmosphere made me feel unsafe, and I didn’t feel comfortable staying overnight in my van next to them. I ended up leaving immediately after taking some photos. I hope my$50 can at least go toward improving the cleanliness of the facilities, but I would not recommend this place to anyone
ScoutGreat camping ground for families especially with small children
GuideThe park attendants were friendly and helpful. The site was clean and people were friendly!
ScoutGreat spot to post up if you want to spend some time in SLO. The sites on the dry loop (Bishop) have little privacy, but most are pull-through. The loops with services have much more tree coverage, but when I was there seemed to be mostly occupied by long term RVs.
I didn't use the showers, but they looked clean (take quarters, I believe) and the bathroom facilities were prime.
Yes, you can hear traffic on Highway 1 from here, but it's not bad at all and the views of Bishop Peak are splendid. Also saw a turkey wander by the first day.
RangerClean. Friendly staff. Wonderful showers. Campground was full the weekend we were there.
Threaded spigot w/ potable water at site 82.
GuideThe spot is honestly wonderful! Such great views, quiet, not even too windy. The road up here is indeed a little challenge: first there is pavement but the last 1/3 of the road is dirt only; also very bumpy. We made it through with our van, 2 wheels only haha, but it was rough indeed. It’s best to have an offroader to come here, but van can do too.
TravelerThis is a great BLM campground with picnic tables, fire rings, and picnic shelters. Pretty much the only option for this setup anywhere around. However, the gnats, bees, mosquitoes, and flies are relentless!
GuideA lot of the RV sites had electric. And there is water stations throughout. Also a dump station on the way out. Can reserve everything. Good area for tenors too. Camp store is small and so our other facilities. There is a pool, but it looks like it’s been closed down for years. Not many amenities.This is a great national park if you’d like to hike.
