Will not stay at this campground again. First day we get there, the guy working at the booth warns us about theft. 2nd day there, we get accused of stealing a chair by some random lady. We showed her proof that the chair was in fact ours but she was already at a different camp site accusing someone else.

Cool nature center. The facilities seem very nice. The showers require tokens at 2 tokens for a dollar. 3 minutes per token. $2 was plenty of time to wash my hair and get clean.

SandS Law Group | Sep 21, 2019

Go to the map for the park and select a site that meets your needs. Restroom and shower facilities are located on the map as well. Front site is for RV camping with hook-up and the back site is for tent camping.

Can I drive my rzr from the hook up spot to the dunes? Can I camp here and still drive my rzr tune dunes.

is there space for tents in the lower numbered sites where we would have a motorhome?

A Google User | Sep 21, 2018
Andree Vadenais | Sep 21, 2018

Yes, I believe there is room for a tent in most of the "hook up" sites. However, I'm not sure if they allow the tents to remain up all day. Hope this helps. Oceano is an awesome campground. Under no circumstances do they allow for early check-in. Only after 2:00 p.m.

Are there any sites on the hard packed with hook ups that have direct rzr access to the dunes.

Channon Foster | Sep 21, 2018
Annette Robbins | Sep 21, 2018

At the Oceano campground there are RV hookups... and the campground is maybe 3 blocks from the beach. We saw people driving their ATVs to the beach (dont know if that's legal? But we saw tons doing it right in front of officials so who knows) The campground is nice and the site rental also gives you a beach access pass so you can come and go as you want The beach does have camping... but no RV hookups (that I saw) and we were told its $15 a day.

Elyon Vertrees | Sep 21, 2018
Deena Kinkeade | Sep 21, 2018

No. It's a longer hike and there is deeper sand areas. Your better off the drive to the beach. It's only $5 and you can park on the beach in the sand.

Can I camp on the oceano dunes area in a c class motorhome

Joe Baxter | Sep 21, 2018
Dawn Cappell | Sep 21, 2018

It doesn't matter what you drive. As long as you can get it through the sand or have somebody with 4WD to pull it to camp spot. Remember to bring yellow or orange safety tape to mark out your spot! If you have kids and small children, it is the perfect way to keep others out of your spot and keep your children safe! Public restrooms and a cool family owned store that has pretty much everything that you may have forgotten at home or ran out. (Like lantern parts for replacement, safety flags (different types and sizes), souvenirs (including tshirts & sweatshirts), ice and refreshments.

I am desperately searching for a spot for my Dad to hook up his small Airstream and live long term. He is a photographer and songwriter who only wants a quiet place to settle down. He is willing to pay the appropriate rental fee. PLEASE.

Kerry Donlon | Sep 21, 2019

Most rv Parks have month2month rental spaces available. Contact the rv parks in the area that he would prefer to be in, check out the area for stores, senior facilities, senior services, and things that he would enjoy doing, both internal and external to the park. Rates can be as low as $400+electric to over $1500+electric per month.

Ashley Samarripas | Sep 21, 2018
Elizabeth De ROOS | Sep 21, 2018

The dunes camping area can be fun but I would not advise for a one year old. Very windy, blowing sand (a lot), and can be quite cold. There are 3 campgrounds almost spitting distance from the beach that offer a lot of protection and showers. North Beach, Oceano (Pismo State Beach), and SLO County Oceano campground on Airport Rd.
