Solvang/Buellton other RV parks when Flying Flags is full?

[mileshuff]

Was hoping to visit the wineries around Solvang and Buellton, CA over Thanksgiving. Been going every year and have booked a spot at Flying Flags each August without issue. This year apparently they've been booked solid since June for Thanksgiving.

Any suggestions for alternatives for a full hookup spot for a 32' 5'er? So far not finding much. There is a small state park in Lompoc. Is it decent, clean? Any other ideas that are close by and easy for getting a rig into?

The RV park at the north end of Santa Maria was open the last time we were thru there. It's off Broadway St.and the 101.

Refugio state beach , el capitan state beach or jalama beach. All 3 are most likley booked, try lake cachuma.

You can do that in Santa Yanez, right down the road from Cachuma

You could go north and stay in Pismo. Then you can go to the Edna Valley Wineries, and still be fairly close to the Foxen Canyon Wineries. You could even bop up to Paso. (I live P/T in Pismo and we do a lot of wine tasting 🙂 )

the park map shows those sites as water electric only

The only "state park" in Lompoc is La Purísima Mission; it doesn't offer camping, and it's closed on Thanksgiving.

As others said, your best bet is Cachuma,probably a dry site; this is the SB parks website. Click on "Camping Parks" and look at the Cachuma info. Jalama Beach is very likely full, and it's a haul out there and back (and out there and back) if you plan to run around wine tasting.

Yes....the water/electric sites are mostly pull through and they kinda sit on a hill....no view's that I can remember but a good base to explore the area.

Can't comment on that specific site but in general the full hookup sites at Cachuma were not hard to back into with my former F250 and 25' trailer. There are also water electric pull throughs, and the nicest sites are non hookup. I recommend the campground.

Cachuma Lake is an option...they do have some full hook up sites and its not too far away.

Thats where I'd go too. But the FHU sites are a ways from the lake. It's an old trailer park, but OK. The best view spots, and there are over 500 of them in the "real" CG are out on the point. Did a couple of Thanksgivings there

A lot of the wineries are on Foxen Canyon road. Solving is close to the south end. Santa Maria is on the north end. We'll be camping at Cachuma. They take reservations for non hookup lakefront sites.
