  Avila-Pismo Beach KOA

  Good base camp

  We 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.

  El Chorro Regional Park

  Beautiful camping area with tons of amenities

  Amazing 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!

  Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort

  Very clean and lots of amenities!

  We 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.

  Mt. Figueroa Campground

  Make your own camp

  While visiting Los Padres National forest on a Valentines Weekend, we unfortunately couldn’t do much camping near the higher altitudes due to high wind gusts so we headed toward the other camps, Davy Brown and Nina. Only problem was these were all reserved!! Why I hate most camping in California Bc nothing is ever available. Either way I hate these type of campgrounds where there are fire pits, and bathrooms, and typically more humans nearby. So we ditched that and settled on a campsite off the road since the sun was setting. It was off one of the many horse/hike trails and was at least flat and somewhat further from the road and hidden by brush and trees. It was a nice night and enjoyed a quiet night alone on the forest. We only needed to do an overnight since we were doing the wineries and we’re staying at an bed and breakfast the next night. Overall it was nice but rather stay in 2 other spots we found that could make for future camping trips. ☺️⛺️

  El Chorro Regional Park

  Nice two night stay

  I’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.

  Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara

  Would stay here again!

  Lovely place and lovely staff! It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. They also have heated pool and jacuzzi, clean showers, and bathrooms. Trail and dog park available. Just kinda sucks you hear the cars passing at the 101. But I’d still come back.

  Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara

  Nice RV Park not too far from Santa Barbara

  We stayed here while visiting Santa Barbara. It is about 15 minutes north of town right across from the (closed) El Capitan State Beach. The sites are typical for an RV park but not right on top of one another. We chose a premium site to be in a tad more secluded area. The pool and hot tub are nice. Our pup enjoyed the dog park. The bathrooms were clean with spacious showers with hot water. Easy access to the Bill Wallace trail up into the hills. We’d stay again as we liked this better than a downtown RV park we stayed in last time. While the sites don’t have ocean views you can view sunrise and sunset from the Bill Wallace trail or even catch peep ocean views walking around the RV Park. Staff is friendly. They do close the bathrooms too early for cleaning. Around 8:30 or 9 am, but you can go to one of the single room showers or toilets behind the laundry.

  El Chorro Regional Park

  Nice no-frills, out-in-nature camping

  If anyone needs a good place to stay near Morro Bay (Central CA coast), El Chorro Regional Park has 43 reasonably priced FHU back-in sites. Nothing fancy - out in nature, the way we like it, plus $1 showers, attentive rangers, and on-site camp hosts. Extremely convenient to both Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. Botanical Garden, dog park, shooting range and golf course all at/near the park.
