We stayed at this park over the summer of 2007. This park is across the street from the Psimo Coast Village RV Park. I disagree with the other comments on this campground. The campground is down-town and 1-block from the beach. One does have to cross PCH-1 to get from the campground to the beach and, yes, one must cross a busy street but there are breaks in traffic constantly and the street is easily crossed with or without children. This campground is pretty centrally located and about 3-blocks walking from the center of town and the city pier. The campground is resident owned. Several of the residents are long-term and have actually bought their campground sites and are permanently set up. This campground is sparse when it comes to land-scalping. There are no trees for shade. Unlike the campground across the street, Pismo-Coast Village RV Park. They do however have a heated swimming-pool for year-round use. Unfortunately, Pismo-Coast Village RV Park limits ones stay to 2-weeks only. Being a full-timer and wanting to set up for 3-4 months at a time the Holiday RV Park is definitely better for that reason. The Holiday RV Park does allow children but I wouldn't say they are family-friendly. Many of the residents are older senior citizens and like the quiet. I particularly like the fact we cross one street and are only 1-block from the beach and 3-blocks from the pier. The City of Pismo-Beach allows free fishing, no license required, when fishing from the pier. Pismo-Beach is very family friendly and has so many unique special type shops and stores along with many outstanding sea-food restaurants. Grover Beach and Arroyo-Grande are two small towns right next to Pismo-Beach. Both are totally unique and have specialty shops. The streets are cobble-stone and the store fronts are old-fashion and somewhat European in style. San Luis Obispo is just down the road with malls, shopping, entertainment, restaurants. One lacks nothing staying in this area of California and this Holiday RV Campground is a great place if you are full-timing. They have an excellent laundry room with several washers/dryers and area to separate and fold clothes. The monthly rate is just under $600.00 per month which I found to be extremely pleasant considering the location and being just 1-block from the beach. There are many campgrounds in Southern California that are double this rate. The rates are good and the location is fantastic. I give this park a 7 rating due to the lack of land-scalping, no trees for shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pro's:1. Fellow RV'ers - what a great bunch of folks (had about half the park helping me back into our spot - took almost half and hour!). 2. Quite time was very quite (almost too quite!). Did not hear so much as a single dog bark. Con's: 1. Park was unbelievably tight. Not a tree in sight (why have tree's when the lack of them will allow you to pack more people in!). They should have given out vaseline and shoehorns at the front desk. I didn't even have room to extend my awning, attach my kingpin tripod (car was parked under the kingpin) or bring out my new Coleman BBQ. Had to squeeze around the truck just to get into the 5th wheel. Just pathetic. 2. To get to the beach - you have to cross US Highway01 (very busy). Of course - there are no lights or crosswalks even remotely close. Not cool dragging my 4 year old twin boys across this highway to get to the beach (but hey - no one was killed). 3. Park slants from back to front. If you take a chance and camp here and your waste tanks drain in the front - make sure you have something to angle your drain hose to the back (we bought a sidewinder from Walmart). 4. Parked my car in front of my 5th wheel to load up my family for a day trip (less than 5 minutes) and the security nazi's were all over me for being "over the white lines". Gimme a break... 5. Absolutely no parking for additional cars. Daughter came up to visit us and parked in one of the (qty 4) spots by the office (2 hour parking max) - and the manager promptly had her car towed after only an hour (after one of the security guards told her it was okay to park there). When we approached the manager (very politely I might add) - the only response was "call the police". Tow truck driver let her car out for only $120 (a deal he told us - should have been $190 - but they had not even got the car off the truck yet). 6. After the car towing fiasco - we decided that we had seen enough of this park - so we informed the front desk that we were leaving a day early. We were asked to fill out a refund request form - which was promptly denied by the manager because we did not give 72 hours notice (of course - we expected this - we only gave about 30 hours notice). Never again... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This place is within walking distance to the ocean and a popular spot. We only stayed a couple of nites with one freebee. Sites are close. Park is well maintained and you can walk into the town to eat and vist the tourist shops. We would stay again if only for a few nites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are close, as others have reported. Do wish there was a bit of privacy. Camp fire from next camp came right in our bedroom window. We've stayed here before but it was in the off season which was more to our liking. Lots of great restaurants in the area! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park with great location. We camped here with 2 other rv'ers and had spot 40 which was at the back of the campground next to the beach trail, great location we thought. We had 4 small children who enjoyed the tree swing behind the park and the short hike through the dunes to the beach. We were a bit misled thinking the sites were f/h, when in fact they are partial, no sewer available, only water and electric, but maybe that's why the price is so reasonable at $29/night. I understand you have to make reservations pretty far in advance as is the case with many of the CA State parks, but this park is worth it we think. It is a distance from downtown Pismo which is one of our favorite places, but with a tow vehicle it's manageable, however the park really isn't within walking distance to anything but the beach. We would definitely choose to stay here especially compared to the looks of some of the other nearby RV parks. This park has nice big shade trees, some grass in each spot, and large paved pull-through spaces. We will be visiting again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Closest campground to the dunes if you don't want to take your RV on the beach. Can't ride the OHV's to the dunes but it's darn close. Having beach access 1/2 block away is best. Quiet alternative to camping on the beach/dunes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an excellent, well-run campground about a block from the drive-on beach. It is densly shaded with tall pine trees, making it cool in the mornings and evenings. The shops and other businesses along the walk to the beach are colorful and the people agreeable. Be sure to bring firewood for the evening campfire. You'll appreciate it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
