    Path to the beach
    Raechel I.

    This was a great choice for my family. Well prized we were able to find availability, we booked about a month ahead of time in mid September. Facilities were cleaned every day. The campground itself was very clean. We really enjoyed the walkway path along the riverbank as well as, the path over the sand dooms to the beach. A lot of area to explore if you have a little one like myself. I would definitely recommend this camping spot if you are OK with no electricity.

    Camp ground was clean and the rangers were very friendly and polite. Have no complaints.

    I love the location of this campground. Just less than 5 minute drive to the beach. However, it's so small that my daughter and her cousin cannot ride around. Also, the camp is just across from a park but there were suspicious people there. I didn't trust our kids to ride around by themselves without a problem, so they did not get to ride their bikes as they wanted to. This campground is by the Airport so you'll hear lots of airplane noises. The airplanes take-off at low altitude directly over the campground. I'm not sure if I can see myself coming back here, but never say never. Let's wait and see.

    This RV park has its benefits and drawbacks. Some of the good:…read more1. Location. It is on the dunes and you have access. But its not close to the ocean. So don't think you will camp here and walk to the beach or even to any stores. 2. The hook ups are nice. Bring your own fire ring. 3. I personally thought the staff was great. I saw one staff member correcting a camper- but they deserved it and I am very glad they actually will say something. 4. Your Verizon coverage "can" work but is dependent on the number of people that are using it in the area. Thats not the campgrounds fault. Verizon works great until a million others log on. 5. Horseback riding available. The not so good: 1. Cramped! You are in here like sardines. 2. Not the easiest to get in or out. 3. Its possible to smell the sewage in certain places around the clubhouse. Yuck! 4. The neighbors are close. Really close. You will hear the music and conversations. They weren't bad at all, but be aware. 6. No fire rings. 7. Some of the permanent residents are like sanford and son. You will see some of that. This place isnt bad. Its not great. If they revamped the place and gave it a complete makeover with larger sites and fewer people- I would pay a lot of money to stay here.

Wi-Fi is complimentary at the club house and for the first hour at each campsite, with additional access available for a daily fee per device which can add up , depending upon how many travels with cell phones and want to stay connected. While the property is clean and organized, it does not provide designated dog areas or off-leash space, and additional shower and bathroom facilities would be beneficial. The location is best suited for guests who prefer a quiet setting away from the small city center. However, it may be less convenient for those without access to a vehicle, as it is not easily accessible by foot.

Would recommend to people who's okay with camping in the car/RV that don't mind the sandy inconvenience. 4WD/AWD and basic low traction driving knowledge is necessary to get to the camp areas.

The Oceano Dunes cover 1,500 acres and are a huge draw for ATV's, Razors, four wheel drive and motorcycles. It is open daily from 7am - 10pm for day use. The beach area can handle normal cars and trucks. We arrived late in the day and there was not a ranger in sight. There is a small fee of $5.00 to take your vehicle on the beach. We paid by the honor system since the fee station was closed. After we paid, we went ahead and drove down the driveway onto the sand. Speed limit is 15 mph. We did not go far but found a great place to park and take in the views. The second time we went back for sunset and parked in the paved parking lot instead. Everyone that was there was having a great time with campfires, waves rushing in and out, dogs and kids running around. The temperatures were perfect, just a light hoodie was needed. Overnight camping is available but does require a reservation especially during high season. My grandfather spent many summers with his buddies camping here and fishing away the days. It did feel good to be here knowing this was one of his favorite getaways. This is definitely a unique experience.

    We stayed here while traveling home to TX due to reviews online and it served the purpose we…read moreneeded. We rented a premium site with a dog relief area which was very nice, as shown in my photo. We were right near the front of the park though, so traffic was very heavy and our dogs were consistently entertained by the people walking by our site. There are also small cabins for rent in the park and our site butted right up next to one. It was WAY too close IMO because their windows went directly into our site. Kinda awkward. This park was very busy since we stayed over the weekend and was full of people who were attending a nearby baseball tournament. That meant a lot of kids and some with no supervision. One night I had to go outside to ask kids to stop running through our site because it was well past the quiet hours and disturbing our dogs. I didn't notice any park employee enforcing rules so that was kind of a bummer. The store onsite was very nice and our kids took advantage of the game room, namely pool and the ping pong table. Overall we would stay here again, but request a site that was near the back of the park and maybe off to the side to avoid so much traffic.

    As a person who's not into camping at all, I can sort of get behind this type of "glamping"…read more There's hot showers, clean bathrooms, a game room, and even a small store for those everyday items... like beer! You can rent an open space to park your RV or book one of their cabins. The RV spots offer various sizes for larger or smaller RVs and some come with a fire pit, table chairs, and a set of adirondack chairs for lounging. We rented an RV and reserved spot between the playground and pool; which the kids loved. All of the RV spots come with full plug-in electricity and water connections. If you're looking to leave this kid friendly campground, you're in luck! This location is prime with about Avila Beach being about 3-minutes away, Pismo about 15-minutes, and the Avila Barn being walking distance. Like I said, I'm not a camper, but I could see myself staying here again next summer!

As someone who has an extensive background in customer service and management I was completely taken back by the way my husband and I were treated during our stay..I've spoken to several people about their experiences with this man and it has been absolutely shocking and disgusting. I can speak from personal experience but would rather not because it would be to vile to have his commentary be read on this platform.. I hope the owner or "boss" actually reads these negative reviews and takes notes. For being and RV resort it definitely does not run like one.

But other than that, it was a great stay. We reserved 6 months in advance, and our site was close to the dunes so it was just a short hike to the dog-friendly (leash-on) beach. The sandy beach is solid, so you can ride your bike on the sand for miles, no problem whatsoever. My prior review lists the specifics of the campground. It is a favorite of ours, and we can't wait to come back.
