Pismo Beach CG Recommendation

Looking for a central CA beach campground recommendation. Will be for a 4 day stay, just after Easter. I know So. Calif well, but have not stayed at Pismo Beach. We are looking for something on or near the beach, but don’t want to be surrounded by ATV’s (we will not have beach going vehicles). We do want to be in walking distance from sand and surf for the kids. Does the Calif State CG make sense, or should I look at one of the private CG’s? Hook ups would be nice, but aren’t required.

  • Compared to the state parks yes but their Rates are in line with the other Resorts there and having stayed in most of them I would take Pismo Coast Village over them,that is why you should make reservations early,they do fill up quickly.

    Plus they have a great perk that I have used.

    Mid-Week Special : Check in on Sunday or Monday, pay for three nights, and we’ll give you the fourth night free.

    Be prepared to pay the highest prices in the Pismo Beach area $$$$
    The RV sites are not spacious and vehicle parking is tight.

  • I have stayed in a few places in Pismo the nicest RV park is Pismo Coast Village Short walk to the beach,no vehicles around,short bike ride into town or a nice walk.

    Pismo North Beach state park is Next to Pismo Coast, all dry camping,short walk to beach kinda seedy at times, some small sites,best look at Google earth to see the sites.

    Then there is Oceano Has hookups and a short walk to beach and the entrance to theOHV area where you can rent ATVs.

    My choice is Pismo Coast Village. If you have Google Earth look at them all and decide.

    Good luck and have fun. The Kids will love it on the beach,there are always a lot of sand dollars littering the beach.
  • The SP in Pismo is a horizontal apartment. Cramped, noisy. I prefer Heast San Simeon SP just north of Cambria. But no hook ups whatsoever. Easy access to the beach in the lower CG but not from Washburn up on the hill. Consider Montana del Oro SP too. Near Los Osos.
