We’re full swing into the busy camping season but thankfully there is still plenty of time left to get some trips in before fall arrives. If you’re looking to stay close to the central coast this summer, Paso Robles has some great RV campgrounds for you to visit.
Located right between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Paso Robles is the heart of Wine Country. The unique location provides a refreshing Central Coast getaway unlike any other. The location provides you a one-of-a-kind experience where beach meets country meets a wine oasis. And with the state recently lifting many of the restrictions that went into place during the pandemic, it’s a great time to explore all that the area has to offer.
from the ocean to the mountain, here are some of the best Paso Robles RV parks and campgrounds to visit:
Belle Vista by the Sea (Cayucos)
Belle Vista by the Sea provides quick access to the beach while being just a short walk to downtown Cayucos. You can even get an RV site that has views of the ocean. If you’re looking for a place to stay that provides the charm of an old surf town, this is for you. The area provides dining and shops and is just a short drive from places like Pismo Beach, Los Osos Oaks State Reserve and the Hearst Castle.
The RV sites have 30A power and include water and sewer hookups. You also have free WiFi and are welcome to bring your furry friend along with you. While the campground itself isn’t loaded down with all the extra amenities you’ll find at some campgrounds, you won’t even miss them because of all the things to do in the area.

Paso Robles RV Ranch & Campground
Paso Robles RV Ranch puts you right in the middle of all the action. You’re within walking distance to a local vineyard and right outside of Paso Robles.

The campground is known for being one of the more affordable options in the area. It has full hookup RV sites, propane refilling station, and is pet friendly.
Recent Review: “Booked a last minute reservation for 1 night (thank you, Tina) and we enjoyed our time so much we ended up staying 5 nights. In my opinion, this is the best family-run RV park we’ve ever stayed at. There was constant attention to cleaning, yard work, pool maintenance, etc. Very convenient to Paso Robles town and nearby wineries. Great value, especially for this area! Will stay again when in the area.” – Lisa H. (Google Review)
