Pismo Beach CG Recommendation

[CVD]

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.

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.
