Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Paso Robles, CA

Sun Outdoors Paso Robles RV Resort features two dedicated dog parks where pets can exercise off-leash, making it one of the most accommodating options for dog owners in the Paso Robles area. The resort welcomes pets at both RV sites and cabin accommodations, with clean grounds and well-maintained facilities throughout the property. Travelers consistently note the resort's cleanliness and pet-friendly atmosphere, with multiple review mentions highlighting the convenience of the dog exercise areas. Wine Country RV Resort also accommodates pets at their facility, providing concrete pads and full hookups for RV campers with animals. Both resorts maintain strict rules about picking up after pets and keeping them leashed when not in designated off-leash areas. The grounds are typically quite busy with families and their pets, particularly during holiday weekends.

For more rugged pet-friendly camping experiences, TV Tower Road offers free dispersed camping where dogs are permitted without the amenities of established campgrounds. Dogs must be kept under control at all times in this natural setting. Temperatures in Paso Robles can reach extreme highs during summer months, requiring pet owners to ensure adequate shade and water for their animals. The proximity to wineries is a significant advantage for pet owners, though most tasting rooms require reservations and have varying pet policies. Some campgrounds implement quiet hours that include restrictions on barking, and most require pets to be attended at all times. Many campers note that having a vehicle is essential when staying at these locations, as surrounding roads aren't conducive to walking dogs safely outside the immediate camping areas.

    Paso Robles RV Ranch

    Quite comfortable

    Paso Robles rv park is a clean pleasant rest spot just north of Paso Robles. There is easy access to highway 101. The park has about 70 slots big enough to fit any size rig. There is a nice pool and a very helpful staff.

    Vinyl Vineyards

    GORGEOUS !

    I had such an unforgettable stay at Vinyl Vineyards! I stayed at the David Bowie trailer, and it was pure nostalgia full of vintage charm, character, and cozy vibes. Everywhere I looked felt like stepping into a different era in the best way possible. The property itself is expansive and breathtaking. I got a private UTV tour across their 120 acres of vineyards, and it was absolutely unbeatable, wide open views, rolling vines, and that peaceful Paso Robles magic. The vibe on the property was incredible, and the outdoor shower was such a unique, refreshing touch that made the stay even more memorable. And the wine? Unforgettable. Their rosé is absolutely on point, hands down my favorite. Do the tasting, you won’t be disappointed! I felt completely at home here, and I can’t wait to come back, next time with my pets and my daughter in tow. Vinyl Vineyards is such a gem, and I’m already counting the days until I return.

    Hidden Gem

    Nice little gem in Paso Robles. Save some money and have a nice soak.

    This isn’t the prettiest place but it makes up for it with natural beauty. The hot springs are wonderful and feel amazing to soak it. We also enjoy the surrounding wildlife and lack of noise.

    Friendly owners.

    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.

    Franklin Hot Springs

    Great Camping Option / Pleasant Hot Springs

    I ended up stopping here to camp in between a trip from Joshua Tree to Big Sur and I couldn't be happier that I did. The people managing the property are super welcoming and nice. And having the opportunity to relax in the hot springs in between stretches of driving was really pleasant. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to camp in the Paso Robles area.

    Sun Outdoors Central Coast Wine Country

    Clean, level, great amenities

    Great location for Paso Robles, sadly we're only passing through. Full hookups, flat paved or unpaved sites depending on what you select. We chose the cheapest during mid January so it was about $64.

    Only con is that our site is right next to the main street so it's noisy. We were site 94 and 95.

    I thought planes would be a concern since that's the name of the street we're on but not at all.

    Their gym was clean with more cardio equipment than lifting. Only dumbbells. We wish we came during when they brought wine from vendors but that's only Thursday- Sunday I think but still it was nice. Fire pit, jacuzzi and pull very clean.
