Contrary to some other reviews we found this facility well maintained and pleasant. Rules are enforced which is good. We were there when a terrible storm came thru. Lots of limbs and pine needles caused a major clean-up for staff but things were cleaned up quickly. Close to CalPoly and SLO and Avila Beach. Would stay here again even if the sites are close together. Used our ROD membership for a "no cost" stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a private, membership park behind the Avila Hot Springs. Ocean Canyon is a Reynold's Resorts park. Overall the park is fairly clean and restrooms/showers are well kept and clean. The pool is clean and the spa works sometimes. This is an older park that needs some serious updating although it appears the owners are doing some minor repairs and updates from time to time. The BIG problem is that the spots are VERY close together so getting anything over 30' in will be tough as pretty much every spot is back-in. If you have slide-outs on both sides...good luck. And, forget about opening your awning if you have a neighbor RV with slides on that side. Getting out of the park is even worse. The exit from the park is so tight that RV damage or tow vehicle damage is common...especially if someone is using those pesky cabins next to the exit and parks their car adjacent to it. The staff routinely says those folks have to park there since there's no where else for them to park. Yes, it's that tight in this sardine can of an RV park. They seem to be getting rid of camping spots and adding those cabins more and more. So, less RV spots and more of those cabins. Sad, but true, this is a membership park with Reynold's Resorts and Resorts of Distinction. Your best bet is to keep driving past this train wreck. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Disappointing...Avila Beach is a beautiful area and we loved going there, but this campground was very small. The sites were stacked on top of each other! The campground looked more like a dealership lot than a RV park. The campground was not located near anything you would like to go to(beach, town, etc). The pool area was nice and the staff was friendly. What's really SAD about this situation is the fact that this is a public/membership park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
