Coastal Dunes RV Park & Campground
Overview
Coastal Dunes RV Park & Campground offers an authentic California coastal experience managed by San Luis Obispo County. This destination serves as a prime gateway for travelers looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Central Coast. By offering a mix of modern conveniences and natural charm, the park provides a reliable and scenic home base for both weekend warriors and long-term explorers seeking the quintessential beach lifestyle.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of Oceano, CA, the park sits just a short distance from the Pacific shoreline. The surrounding area is defined by the towering sand dunes and the refreshing, salty air of the coast. While the nearby railroad adds a rhythmic local character, the immediate proximity to Pismo State Beach ensures that the natural beauty of the Central Coast remains the focal point of your morning coffee and evening strolls.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility is well-equipped to handle various rig sizes with its selection of paved RV sites. Travelers can enjoy a variety of on-site features designed for comfort and convenience:
- Full hookups providing water, sewer, and 30/50 amp service.
- A seasonal heated swimming pool for guest relaxation.
- Convenient coin-operated laundry and clean shower facilities.
- Gated entry and fire rings for traditional evening campfires.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The most prominent attraction is the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, where guests can enjoy off-roading, ATV rentals, and beach driving. Just a few minutes away, the Monarch Butterfly Grove offers a spectacular seasonal display of nature. For those seeking a slower pace, the nearby freshwater lagoons are perfect for bird watching, while the local Pismo Pier offers excellent coastal fishing opportunities and local dining.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is perfectly suited for active families and adventure seekers who prioritize location and immediate access to the dunes. It is an excellent choice for those who prefer the structured, well-maintained environment of a county-run facility. If you value being steps away from beachfront recreation and world-class off-road excitement, this park will certainly fit your travel style.

Coastal dunes staff was fantastic and helpful. Very close to the dunes but not the nicest sites. Honestly you get what you pay for. The site was very quiet for October and everyone seemed to be at the nicer RV resorts down the road. We had tons of ants the entire time while here which was frustrating. You can walk through the site across the main road into the Park Ranger station and then follow that road to the dunes. About a 12 min walk which is really pleasant. We stayed for a week and it was fine but nothing beautifully pleasant. Again you are paying for this experience. So if you’re chill- it will be lovely

The only good thing about this RV park is the proximity to the beach. It’s tucked in between a busy road and a railroad, making it very noisy. The sites are small and too close to each other, with no tables or benches or fire pits. The restroom and shower facilities are old and dirty (not even any handsoap), and the laundry doesn’t have a machine for quarters or detergent. The pool is closed and seems like it has been for a while, as there are weeds growing on the cover. I don’t see how you’re getting your money’s worth at 65$ a night.

Very nice camping campground. Our family enjoyed it very much. Will love to return. Bathrooms are very close and the beach is only a 3 minute drive.

Great proximity to the beach. Easy to walk or drive onto the beach and a great site for families. We’ve been coming here yearly for about 10 years; no one drives fast, or plays loud music late into the night, kids are often riding bikes & scooters. The bathrooms are cleaned/ toilet paper restocked regularly and the hot water in showers is free. There are also outlets in the bathroom but there aren’t any mirrors so bring them one if needed. There is also a laundry room which is great when camping with small kids, but bring quarters for the machines. The camping sites are a bit narrow & separated by a narrow road so it can be hard to back up an RV if there’s someone in the campsite across from you. There’s water and power hookups and all the rv hookups.

Pretty nice park if you get a double site. Can be busy on weekends. Easy walk to the beach.
