We are headed there next month for a week with a fairly large group.Looking for pros & cons from anyone that has stayed there. Already aware that they are serious about 'well mannered pets'. We're having to leave our mini weenie dogs with the daughter as they tend to cry and howl when we leave them in the rig. Also, how is the walk to the beach as the DW has some issues with a recent fused ankle. Thanks.

It is a really nice clean park, the ground grew was always at work, and is suited for large groups. We were there during the Vintage Trailer Rally just by accident. The spaces are close but the price was good.There isn't really a walk on the beach it is surrounded by a lagoon between the campground and the ocean, with a sand dune to climb over to get to the lagoon I was very disappointed in that part. If you watch the crawler at the top of the ad Here you will see the lagoon. I saw an earlier ad that did not show it as well.I saw very few dogs while there, the store area also shown in the ad is very nice and clean, there is also a restaurant there.Now that I know how it is set up I would go back with lower expectations. But I would go back. It has nothing to do with the campground but it's location, the weather is changeable from really nice to cold and windy so come prepared for that. I hope you enjoy your stay,

To me the draw for a beach located RV Park/Campground is the ability to see the ocean. At Pismo Coast Village you have to walk over a sand dune to view the ocean.There is a wooden walkway to get to the top of the sand dune and an observation platform to view from. To get to the ocean you have to walk around the lagoon or swim/wade across it (not sure of the water quality).Other than that it's a nice RV park. There is lots to do in and around town.

Check it's reviews. Most love it. I do not. Depends on what you are looking for. It is one of the parks that attracts families where the kids are turned totally loose. It also attracts large, loud party groups. Quite hours were definitely not enforced any of the 4 weekday nights we were there last. To compound problems, we reserved a site way ahead of time knowing the popularity of the park and its small sites. Still, the site we were assigned was barely large enough for our 32' Class A with two slides. We were told it was because we arrived late in the day, around 4pm on a Monday, and that all the bigger sites had already been given out for the day. We were given a bigger site when one became available 3 days later. There's a pretty good restaurant on site where we usually get breakfast. One of the security guys I talked to last time we were there admitted that, as crazy as it was during our visit, that it had been 10 times worse the week before over Easter break. Police have had to be called in to rein in unruly teenagers I recently read. So, it depends on what you're looking for. We haven't been back in 4 years and will not return.

I think you will like it. The easiest way to get to the beach is walk out the main gate and head toward the pier and your on the beach, probably about 4 blocks. There are some smaller sites, but if your in a large group they will usually put you all in the same area with larger spaces. We love the place, so much so that we bought a share and that's the only place we camp anymore. Great people, great location, great restaurants. Hope you have a wonderful time.Rt

We used to like this RV park very much. After being put in a spot way too short for our RV several times, we don't go there anymore. They have also gotten too overpriced. They are always so full they said they could not move us to a larger spot. Enjoy.
