This campground is out in the middle of no where, which was fine with us. It covers a lot of real estate and is quite hilly. The bath houses are quite a climb - 15 steps up to the toilets and showers. The exception is the facilities at the office/pool. It is so peaceful and among beautiful trees. And only a 10 - 15 minute walk to Santa Margarita Lake, which is a great park with boating, hiking, wild life. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Fantastic campground offering a back-to-nature experience. The sites are stepped on a hill with some fairly dodgy tracks up to your site. However the staff, was fantastic at helping us newcomers settle in and giving us top tips on our RV. Beware the laundry facilities: the washing machine turned aload of my whites orange, something to do with the iron apparently!! The staff refunded our money though and tried to help us out. Shower facilities were basic but good. Loved this place for the good old-fashioned camping in beautiful surroundings. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were parked on a high dusty hill with small spaces and no trees between spaces. Managers were very friendly and helpful. The owners could spring for some gravel on the campsites to keep the dirt down. I would not camp here again unless it was absolutely necessary. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean campground. Upon arrival host escorted us to our site and assisted with backing in. Very friendly staff. Site was exactly level side to side, almost perfect front to back. Sites are all compacted red-rock. Lots of trees. 1/4 mile from Santa Margarita Lake. The campground is cut into a hillside so your views are not blocked by other RV's. The dirt road in is a little steep, we dropped into 4 wheel drive for the steep part. This is not your asphalt parking lot, but is a nice more rural campground miles from any traffic noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was the closest place we could find to the coast that was still available. It's an older park and very dusty and dry. It also has a strong sewer smell in the early mornings. They also advertise pull through sites, but there are none. Not much to the place so I didn't feel I could give it anything higher than a five. It served its purpose but we will not be staying there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All dirt and steep hills. Pool was green. Half of everything was broken. And I don't recommend drinking the water. Very friendly and helpful staff. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
If you’re into dust, motorcycles, loose dogs, then this place is for you. For a KOA I was pretty disappointed. We have stayed at several KOA’s throughout the nation and although some are better than others, all seem to follow some corporate requirements. This is not the case here. The campsites are up a long, steep, climbing dirt road (actually had to use 4x4 to get to the top). If you want to use their restroom, visit their store, or swim in the pool, plan on either driving or hiking down and back. All of their sites appeared to be dirt, and not very level at that. To top it all off, it is an 11 mile drive off Highway 101 to get to this campground. We will not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice little park in the wilderness. Would agree with a previous post that it might be a little long in the tooth but the atmosphere is nice. Rolling hills surround park. Upper levels (where most FHU sites are) are reached by moderately steep dirt road which can be tricky when it's wet. Definitely more "campground" than "RV park". Nice base for sightseeing in the area. Approximately 1 hour to Hearst Castle, half hour to Pismo Beach or Morro Bay. Plenty of wildlife in/around the area (deer, owls, raccoons). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park is getting a little long in the tooth though very clean and neat with terrific personnel. Some sites very small, only 1 pull thru. This park is cut into the side of a hill and few trees were removed so roads tight. Some semi perm residents trailers getting very junky looking and should be removed to bring park up in ratings.
