North Beach Campground

A very nice and beautiful place. We come here from time to time, but we’ve never stayed in tents — though we really want to. There are restrooms, showers, and designated barbecue areas. There’s also a separate parking area. From here you can walk straight to the beach, and if you’re visiting with kids, good luck getting them to leave! You can collect seashells, enjoy the fresh air, and just have a great time. The eucalyptus smell here is amazing.

Great location, cool trails/paths and the ocean, yes… did I say great location and beautiful too. There are improvements that can be made. The first is to plant some trees for more shade. Lots of sites have no tree coverage. Did I mention really great location, you do have to pay to take a shower. No joke. Try to remember to bring firewood because there was none onsite to buy, though it was advertised to have firewood. I just can’t give this place five stars because of the easy improvements out there. Did I mention the butterfly grove?

Great campground! This campground has fantastic beach access, lots of green grass, potable water and hot showers! There is a monarch butterfly preserve next door with several trails that connect with the beach trails. The town of Pismo is a quick walk down the beach and offers many restaurants and tourist traps.

Nice campground. Walking distance to the beach and the dunes, and to the pismo pier (a mile of beach or so). Lots of walkable trails, from boardwalks to sandy paths. Free camping on parts of the beach. The monarch butterfly sanctuary on one end of the campground is a great bonus! Only issue is some of the campground is a little close to the road which can be loud, especially on weekends. Lots of people run generators too, which can get annoying (solar works great and is silent!) showers are hot, 50 cents a minute!

This has been a family tradition for 3 years now. The showers are nice with private toilets. We love the easy access to the beach and you can actually walk downtown from here. The camp sites are huge.
