pismo state beach

Where the central coast meets inland valleys, Pismo State Beach sits just over a mile from campgrounds around Grover Beach. The established campground provides drive-in and walk-in sites with standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Reservations are available for planning ahead.

Recent feedback indicates maintenance standards have declined from previous years, with one camper noting the park lacks its former upkeep. The facility allows pets and campfires, with picnic tables and ADA accessibility throughout the grounds. North Beach Campground — Pismo State Beach operates as a separate section within the same state beach system.

Gorgeous Beach!

Roomy campground with large sites. The beach is a short walk away. Dogs are allowed on the beach on leash.

Busy campground

This used to be a really nice park. Now, there doesn’t seem to be any pride in taking care of it.
