North Beach Campground

Where the Pacific Ocean meets rolling dunes, North Beach Campground offers a quintessential coastal camping experience at Pismo State Beach. Known for its convenient beach access, the campground is celebrated for its scenic coastal setting, proximity to the Monarch Butterfly Grove, and diverse recreational opportunities including hiking, wildlife viewing, and beach activities.

The 103 campsites, suited for tents, RVs, and trailers, are set in a grassy, open area just behind the dunes, providing visitors with a serene atmosphere and easy access to the sandy shores. Amenities include coin-operated showers, flush toilets, a dump station, and fire rings at each site, ensuring comfort for both short and extended stays. Campers can enjoy a mix of quiet relaxation and outdoor exploration, with nearby trails leading through dunes and wetlands, and the chance to witness thousands of butterflies from late October to February. The campground is also strategically located within walking distance to downtown Pismo Beach, with its charming eateries and shops.

Nestled just south of Pismo Beach off Highway 1, this campground is a gateway to the central California coast's unique blend of nature and culture. From digging for Pismo clams to surf fishing or biking flat coastal trails to nearby Grover Beach, North Beach Campground provides a memorable escape for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. With its blend of natural beauty and well-maintained facilities, it's a coastal gem for both day trips and extended beachside vacations.
