The RVs you saw parked along Avila are “camping”. It’s $50 a night and can be just you or 10 crammed in a beautiful pull out.The nuclear power plant is also there and for about 4 hours a day hundreds of people drive by.
There are a few full hook up spots too that are not on the water, I believe they are $80 a night,
Gorgeous in Avila but there are some bad aspects to staying overnight.

Great recap of your stay there. Those strawberries look amazing! I love shopping at farmers markets – everything tastes better. Cheers – Ellen

I can testify that a summer or fall return visit to the SLO farmers market will offer many more fruit and veggie options!

Send a California farmers market back east please!! I’d settle for one with a stunted selection, no problem.

In reply to Wheelingit. PS: There's another loop that has enormous pull-through sites but no hook-ups. Might be good for those with solar or who don't mind using their generator. There's no dump station though.

Nina, that reminds me, I walked around the campground (both loops) and noted which sites we could fit in during our next trip. I marked “good” for sites that are long enough for our 37′ coach and our car, relatively level, and have a nice sized camping area. I marked “ok” for sites that are long enough, but are quite unlevel (e.g. I saw people’s front wheels in the air) or have awkward camping sites (many have camping behind the the site instead of next to it).

Excellent roundup of the area, especially the doggie tips (which I do so love). Good to know about El Chorro Park as an option.
