RV camping near Bradley, California sits in southern Monterey County where coastal mountain ranges give way to agricultural valleys. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with mild winters, hot summers, and less rainfall than nearby coastal areas. Most campsites in the area provide full hookups and paved or gravel pads suitable for rigs of all sizes.
What to do
Wine tasting excursions: Several RV parks around Paso Robles serve as convenient basements for exploring the region's wineries. At Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort, one visitor noted "We did the wine line and they pick up and drop off at the campground," making it easy to sample local vineyards without driving.
Beach exploration: While inland options abound, coastal campgrounds offer easy beach access. Morro Dunes RV Park provides direct beach access across the street. "Amazing view of Moro rock, super close by!" shares one camper, adding it's "just a few minutes walk or bike ride to down town/harbor with harbor shops and restaurants."
Military history tour: For those with military IDs, Camp Roberts Military offers a unique camping experience with historical artifacts. "The cool thing was the history you could see and explore on the base. They had tanks and helicopters that you could climb in and touch. Our daughter loved it!"
What campers like
Clean, modern facilities: Many campgrounds in the region prioritize cleanliness. According to one visitor at Yanks RV Resort, "Bathroom and shower facilities" are notable with bathrooms that are "very private and looks like what you would find in a home."
Pet amenities: Dog owners appreciate the dedicated pet areas at several parks. Sun Outdoors Central Coast Wine Country offers "2 small enclosed dog yards with gravel and poop bags," while another visitor at Yanks RV Resort raved, "This resort has two beautiful dog parks and a dog washing station!"
Swimming options: Multiple RV parks maintain pools even during cooler months. One camper at Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort mentioned, "We used both pools and spas daily even in December," making water recreation possible year-round.
Recreation facilities: Beyond swimming, many parks offer additional recreation. A visitor at Sun Outdoors Paso Robles noted, "The bocce ball was fun," while others mentioned using fitness rooms and game rooms at various properties.
What you should know
Seasonal pricing fluctuations: Rates vary considerably based on season. Standard sites typically start around $64 during winter months, while summer and holiday periods command premium rates.
Space limitations: Some parks have very close sites. A reviewer at Morro Dunes RV Park observed, "Sites are spaced close together but no major issues with noisy neighbors," which is common at many of the area's RV parks.
After-hours procedures: Many parks have systems for late arrivals. At Almond Tree Oasis RV Park, "They have an after hours kiosk for late check-in and provide an email confirmation with all the passwords and security codes," making late arrivals less stressful.
Limited walk-to options: Some parks require transportation to access area attractions. A camper at Sun Outdoors Central Coast Wine Country noted, "The surrounding streets are either small two-lane roads with no shoulder or a 65 MPH highway. There's no place to walk, hike, or safely bike."
Tips for camping with families
Check for kid-friendly amenities: Not all parks offer equal amenities for children. Vines RV Resort received mixed feedback, with one reviewer noting that "There is very noisy" environment that could impact "kids that nap during the day."
Consider proximity to attractions: Some parks offer better access to family activities. Yanks RV Resort received praise for its "Small but clean play area for kids" and is "Very close to national park," making it convenient for day trips.
Look for multi-generational activities: Parks with diverse amenities serve families best. At Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort, a visitor commented, "Something for any age. We enjoyed the lower tier area... The bocce ball was fun, the spaces were clean and roomy and easy to back into."
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Full hookups are standard but configurations vary. At Paso Robles RV Ranch, sites feature "50-amp electrical service" without 30-amp options, so bring adapters if needed.
Site surface preferences: Different surface types work better in different conditions. A visitor at Cypress Morro Bay RV Park appreciated the "Full services available" while Sun Outdoors Central Coast Wine Country campers recommend "We paid $40 for a standard site (on decomposed granite v. the more expensive paved sites)," noting the price difference between surface types.
Extended stay options: Many parks offer significant discounts for longer stays. A camper at Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort advised, "We stayed for 14 days, but would have saved a BUNCH if we could have stayed for longer and gotten the monthly rate (they call it 'Park and play')."
Accessibility considerations: Site access varies between parks. At Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort, a visitor appreciated that "It's easy to get into with big trailers. We have a 35foot 5th wheel and no problems getting in."
