Copy link1. Montaña de Oro State Park
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
RV LifestyleThis State Park located on the Central coast of California about 6 - 7 miles south of Morro Bay and Los Osos is a great place to camp and accommodates RV's up to 27 feet. There are no hook ups, flush toilets or dump stations however the RV sites do have firepits, there is a camp store and camp host and firewood is available for sale... but the beauty of being nestled in this State Park is that it is located away from town a few miles or so down a country road. You will love the hiking available along the cliffs over the ocean and beach access to Spooners Beach just outside the campground. Dogs are welcome on Spooners Beach and at your campsite but not on the hiking trails.
2. Slab City
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Mike WendlandWhat can we say about Slab City? A bit weird, to be sure, and decidedly not upscale. You can live there for a day, week, month, year, or even decades, and no one will complain about your being there. The majority are probably there for short periods of time, but there are quite a few who live there year-round and have been there for many years. Free RV parking and a very eclectic community.
3. Convict Lake Campground

4. McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

This state park is situated inside the Cascade Range and Modoc Plateau natural region, and is set in a gorgeous forest. It has five miles of stream and lake shoreline, including Lake Britton, and amazing hikes.
There is also the gorgeous 129 foot Burney Falls waterfall that alone is worth the trip. The campground is also very nice, with a beach, boat ramp, camp store and more.
