Detailed Reviews
We were very excited to go camping for our first time in Pismo Beach. We did our research and found Pismo Coast Village online. Pictures and reviews were all pretty good. The price for summer is a bit high but we figured being so close to downtown and the pier it would be worth it. We were told when we made the reservation in January for our trip in June, that we could not request a site number or area.
So the day of our trip arrived, and we received an email with our site number so that we could just drive right in when we arrived. We were given site number 319. We could barely get our small 25' RV into the spot. With the awning out and the one slideout, we were almost at our neighbor's site. It is really nice to pay almost $100 a night and have to sit 2 feet away from your neighbors dump tank. At least we don't have a tow vehicle, no room to park. The people that pulled a trailer had to park their big trucks along the small 2 lane road making it a 1 lane road every evening. Now if these smaller sites were less money than the larger sites that would be fairer. Anyway, we have decided that we would not return unless they change the pricing and make it so that you can pick an area of the park.

This RV park was clean, large spaces, the hook ups were on the side of the rig which is very convenient They had a nice store but did not have time to eat at the restaurant. Overall. Very good experience. Looking forward to going back.

Les start with the sites - I was expecting a lot for the price, but its more like a tailgate party than a private RV site. My neighbors fire pit was 5 feet from my van.
There is a nice pool, but no hot tub, which was a miss given how cold the summers in Pismo are. The store is great, and the location is walking distance from town. Sadly the creek cuts you off from the beach, so you can either wade the creek, or walk North or South for 1/2 mile to get to the beach.
Upshot - it seems to be run for shareholders who get 45 day stays per year, rather than a casual RVer dropping in for a couple of nights.

No Internet for 1 week, bathrooms closed from 5 PM to 8 AM yet no reduction of fees for this lack of amenities! We were squashed in like sardines at our campsite too. No resort quality at all. They told us they had to lock the bathrooms at night because of cleaning requirements due to the virus! BUT we've been living in our RV for a year now & this is the only camping that does this so it seems more a money issue than health & safety! Cars parked out in the street making it nearly impossible to back a 5th wheel into your site. To us this is what we've come to call the "Piracy/parking lot" approach to camping-piracy prices for a mere parking lot spot.

I made a reservation for one night this coming June and got an email confirming it. When I called to pay with a credit card, the manager had decided he could get more money by requiring two nights and refused to honor the reservation, despite the email they had sent me confirming the date and cost for the single night.
Questionable honesty, and very poor business to back out of an offer already made. Avoid them.

This is a very well appointed 400 site RV park. Grass behind the sites, 50 amp service and room for big rigs though reservations are recommended anytime of the year. Pulled in Sunday for a week, staff is friendly and the resort has nice amenities. Nice restaurant on site for your enjoyment and bathrooms are very clean.

Standard sites here are very narrow and mostly gravel. Streets are very congested with vehicles parked on both sides and lots of walkers and kids on bikes. There is a small strip of grass at the rear of each RV, often used by dogs. Our neighbors' conversation area, three barking dogs and fire pit were right under our RV windows, so we had to keep our windows closed for all three days of our visit. No fresh sea air or peace and quiet for us. We used a whole jug of Febreeze to get the smoke smell out of our RV when we returned home.

Sad to say the worst part of our trip was the campsite. The staff was extremely rude, we were told basically we are 3rd rate guests because we aren’t share holders or store our rigs in their storage location, so the worst small spots are all we can access. Each camp site has barely any space to even walk through let alone sit and enjoy any peace. Security is a joke, depending on how your neighbors park you will most likely only be able to fit 2-3 chairs around fire pit. We were a large group who were told “reserving spots” isn’t allowed but upon arrival we couldn’t all be together because the empty sites near any given site was “not available”. How can a site be “not available” if you can’t reserve a specific site?!? … needless to say… our entire group will never be coming back.

I’m posting here to provide updates to anyone looking at recent reviews. Especially those in recent months. Our stay started on Christmas Day 2023 and lasted into Feb 18th, 2024. We love PCV and have been coming here since right after they opened in 1975.
The RV park is open to all forms of motor homes and trailers. There was a review recently that stated Class B motorhome aren’t allowed. They are indeed allowed and the only explanation I can give is that perhaps a misinformed new hire in the reservation department stated that. PCV recently changed their phone and reservation system. There was issues with the online system and that was put on pause momentarily, but I see it was opened up today to request a reservation on line. The phone system has been corrected too, so hopefully the wait times will be minimal unless you call on the 1st of the month when the 6 month release dates happen. Then expect to be in a queue line. It’s been that way forever, only before it was a busy signal, now you are placed in a queue with a count down as to your number in the queue.
The park has added wonderful palm tree lighting around the park, fire pit patio tables in the square by the on-site public restaurant, weekend activities for all. The recent King Tide washed away much of the dunes outside of the RV park and for the most part as of this date, you can walk directly out to the beach. The store has been revamped with all sorts of supplies. The lagoon/stream on the north side is running more like a small stream again, however, good o’ Mother Nature controls its flow, and where it flows. All of us who visit PCV regularly are enjoying the ability to walk straight out to the beach. Many, many years ago it was that way too, so only time will tell how long it will stay that way, and you can’t control Mother Nature.
PCV is also a great place to watch any Vandenberg launches that happen quite frequently if you watch SpaceX launch schedule. Loads of good places to eat, all around and within walking distance.
PCV is wonderful place to stay so, please give them a second chance if you had a bad experience in recent months.

Although I'm not a fan of what I call "parking lot RV parks," Pismo Coast Village worked for me. Yes, spaces are tight and there's zero privacy, but the proximity to the city of Pismo Beach make PCV a winner. Downtown Pismo, the beach, State Parks and Grover Beach are all within easy walking distance.
Additionally, everything at PCV was in good working order and the grounds are meticulously kept. Staff was also exceedingly nice and polite.

If you want s reservation the best thing to co is be there. We have edited in line by their reservation window those are the first people they help. Phone rings off the hook they wont answer until they serve those in front of them. Then they get to the phones. So option 2 call like you are calling radio station nonstop until someone answers.
We were there in April. It was windy. We were told by management that the best months to go are October/November.
