We stayed here for one night during our coastline trip. We stayed in campsite #25, which was perfect! There was a little trail that led straight to the beach from our spot. The campground has flushable toilets and coin operated showers that stayed hot. The camp sights didn't seem too close together compared to other campgrounds. It was a nice... More

Great campground if you want to be on the beach and close to dunes. We have camped in a tent and found it to be pretty sandy and uncomfortable so best to be in a RV or trailer. We had our car broken into and laptop and very Important work bad stolen. There is definitely a problem with theft! The... More

I was really impressed by this campground. Its proximity to the beach and town was perfect! The tent sites here are quite large and even though the campground was full the weekend I went, the it did not seem crowded. Not like some campgrounds where you hear loud people and generators all night, no this was peaceful. Adjacent to a... More

We stay here during the summer months and our family loves it. The campsites are large and most open up to LARGE grassy areas where our kids can play without worrying about cars or traffic. No hookups, so that is a downside, but showers and bathrooms are kept very clean. Short walk over the dunes to the beach so location... More

Love this campground! Second time camping at North Beach. Enjoyed it even more this year. Very family friendly campground. Great place for kids to ride bikes and play in the open grass areas. Easy beach access by a short walk over the dunes. You simply cannot beat this beach. The dunes are incredible. The beach is a wide expanse of... More

We tent camped here for 4 days in August. We love the size of the campsites and the easy accessibility to Pismo Beach. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked and the showers are coin operated but maintained. Staff is friendly and offers things to do while you are staying in Pismo. They had a movie night while we were there.... More

I will start with the positives: Next to the campground is a eucalyptus groove that wintering Monarch Butterflies roost in from November – March. During this season, daily informational talks are given and monoculars on tripods are set up for viewing purposes. This is an amazing scene if you haven’t seen it before. The Beach, that is right next to... More
