Located in San Luis Obispo County, this destination combines the relaxation of beachside camping with access to some of California's most beloved attractions and natural wonders.

The campground sits in the charming community of Oceano, a quiet coastal village that serves as the perfect basecamp for exploring the dramatic Pacific coastline and rolling inland hills of San Luis Obispo County.

The Oceano Dunes area provides opportunities for beach exploration and outdoor recreation. Wine country lies inland, with the Santa Maria and Paso Robles wine regions offering excellent tasting experiences for those interested in California viticulture.

This location appeals to a diverse range of travelers. Families appreciate the beach access and family-friendly attractions.

This is the only place is California to go to the sand dunes and the ocean when you are camping, the weather is normally cold but enjoyable if you take firewood, there is the option of buying firewood and other services for camping. Great place to get out of the city and have a great time with the family riding ATVs at the sand dunes! Make sure to take plenty of firewood if you're planning to be...

Great place to get out of the city and have a great time with the family riding ATVs at the sand dunes! Make sure to take plenty of firewood if you're planning to be there for a few days! Big place plenty of space for camping!

Such a unique camping experience! We car camped on the beach for one night. It was awesome waking up to the waves. Be aware that nights can be cold by the water, so bring layers. Also you will have sand everywhere!! There were no facilities if you camp on the beach; there is little privacy, and you would have to walk a bit. We had so much fun in the morning frolicking in the sand dunes!!

Very comfortable camp ground. 82 camp sites, 40 in the front with the partial hookups, 42 in back for tents and RV’s-dry camping only. Generators ok-10am to 8pm. If you have solar, you got it.

Very comfortable camp ground. 82 camp sites, 40 in the front with the partial hookups, 42 in back for tents and RV’s-dry camping only. Generators ok-10am to 8pm. If you have solar, you got it. Potable Water spickets through out the campgrounds. Clean bathrooms and token showers. Currency to token dispensers at a couple shower houses. Firewood for sale at the Camp Host site, all money goes the private non-profit organization “Central Coast State Parks Association”. They maintain the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach and other central coast parks. There are some sites with power (30 amp) and water, no sewer dump. Dump stations with $10.00 fee-credit card only, are within 1.5 and 3 miles, both off Hwy 1. There’s also a local company that you can contact to come empty you black and gray tanks, for around 50-60 bucks, it’s worth the convenience. The campground is located next to a beautiful lagoon with a cement trail that runs next to part of it. It’s also a very short walk to the beach. A small visitors center and local displays is also located in the campground. Old Juan’s Mexican restaurant is walking distant as is a small grocery type store and other small eateries. Elks Lodge is across the street (Pier Avenue).

This campground was very clean and was a nice place to camp for a first time camper. The bathrooms and showers were cleaned regularly and they were very nice. The walk to the beach was nice find that we could drive on the beach was nice but also shocking. My friend and I have never seen so many intact sand dollars and they were so pretty.

The bathrooms and showers were cleaned regularly and they were very nice. The walk to the beach was nice find that we could drive on the beach was nice but also shocking. My friend and I have never seen so many intact sand dollars and they were so pretty. Warning: BEWARE of the squirrels! They crawl up onto the table and go through your things. I kept our food not the coolers in the car and that seemed to be the safest way. Hope to come again soon! Hopefully, the weather next time will be warmer.

We stayed one night and the price couldn’t be beat. Pismo has a weird vibe to it. I just think it’s wrong to drive on the shore.
