El Chorro Regional Park

There are 3 loops. The B loop, which has no hook-ups, but are spacious and with a lot of pull-thrus and no trees. The C & R loops, which are full hook-ups but only 30 amps. The C loop has very narrow roads and is not big-rig friendly, but has more trees. We were in the C loop and just barely fit with 40 MH. The R loop streets are wider and would have been more suited for our MH. There is no TV signals, but our Verizon worked OK. There is a nice park and off-lease dog area. For $10 you can see the botanical garden, and there is a golf course. But $45 for a county park with narrow and tight roads is way too much.

Great campsite along highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. Spent a couple nights here in April 2022. No online booking interface when we went and reservations had to be made over the phone. This was a nice alternative to the state parks nearby which were booked solid months in advance. There are three loops of campsites all of which can accommodate RVs. Romauldo and Chumash campsites are full hookup, mostly back-in. A select few in the Chumash loop have the utility hook-ups on the 'wrong' or left side of the parking space when looking at the site. Check the map included in this post to ensure you don't book one of these sites or be prepared with extension cords and an extra sewer line. The Bishop loop has 10 of 17 designated as pull through but there are no hook-ups in this loop. Clean bathrooms with pay for showers are available. The Bridge Trail next to Chumash site 15 is a shortcut across Dairy Creek to the playground, botanical gardens and dog park. There are fun exhibits for kids and adults around the nature center with helpful informative staff. There is a short nature trail behind the center with a giant sundial, neat vegetation and all kinds of hawks and raptors soaring around looking for food. At the peak of the loop you can break off toward Eagle Rock trail which leads further up the hill to a giant rock (which looks more like a lion than an eagle to me) and impressive views of the valley.

For a little county park it does pretty well. For RV campers, it comes with all of the hookups electric and Sewer as needed. As of June 2018 prices for RVs were $40 a night. For primitive camping $25 per night. Extra cars and pets come with the extra fee. There are hiking trails, be sure to bring plenty of water as it is a little toasty in the daytime. There is a sports fields nearby that does have games so it might be a little noisy if it's being used in the evenings. There are fire pits at every campsite, to be on the safe side I would recommend bringing your own wood, as the camp host may not have any on hand. Bring plenty of quarters if you want to have a hot shower. About every other campsite was filled when we visited. All in all it was a very nice getaway. Beautiful stars at night.

$100 for 2 nights. Camper across the road had 2 dogs that he consistently left in a pen outside alone, they barked at everything! Second night the Botanical Gardens in the park hosted a wedding, loud music and DJ for hours! I don’t go camping for this, if I wanted these kinds of neighbors I’d just stay home. And skip the gardens, they’ve been there for 30 years and it’s not well maintained at all. Shame on San Luis Obispo!

This is a beautiful county campground with views of the 20 million year old volcanic cores poking up to the south. (Morro Rock is the end of that seven mountain core chain). The campsites in the front loop offer more room and better views, but there are plenty of full hook up sites in the campground. There is also an overflow area for dry campers. Coin operated showers offer plenty of warm water for a buck and the restrooms are clean. It’s a convenient stop between LA and San Francisco or before or after tackling the Big Sur route on Highway 1. It is also adjacent a botanical garden which is quite interesting.

I really enjoyed this park. We went here during the week and parking was free but I didn’t have an RV. Decided to go for a hike and I have to say it was very enjoyable. Saw a few raptors and plenty of lizards. Was hoping to see some deer but that wasn’t the case. There is a military base there so you can hear them shooting not too far. Park looks clean and well taken care of. They have a dog park which I didn’t care for since I don’t have a pet. Price Point ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wildlife ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hikes ⭐️⭐️
