In March, we drove South for an 11 night RV trip to the ocean. We stayed in two locations, each with a very different camping experience, from posh to primitive. We also visited a few new places, including Sensorio (Field of Lights) in Paso Robles, the Santa Barbara Courthouse, Highway 1 to Mailbu, Point Dume,... Continue Reading →
Paso Robles and Cambria (143)
The last stop of our Central Coast trip was at Paso Robles. We like staying at Cava Robles. The sites are nice and big, the park is well run, and I can bike ride from the park. While it's inland, it's a short drive to the coast on hwy 46, and one of the most... Continue Reading →
Avila Beach, CA (140)
We spent March along the central coast of CA, and were blessed with lots of sunshine and mild temps. A new park opened in Avila Beach (Flying Flags Avila Beach), so we decided to try it out for a week. It’s a beautiful RV Park nestled on the side of a hill overlooking San Luis... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach, CA (114)
While we in CA are in lockdown again, it was fun to revisit our trip to Pismo Beach a few weeks earlier. We stayed at the Pismo Coast Village, a really nice park with convenient access to the beach and town of Pismo Beach. This sign is repainted for each season. 🙂 My morning walk... Continue Reading →
Pismo Preserve RV Trip (95)
After our unplanned hiatus from RVing, we were thrilled to heading to our favorite destination, Pismo Beach. In the winter, we like to stay at Pismo Coast Village for the full hookups. Last year when we were here in February it was cold, windy, and rainy. This year, blue skies and temperatures in the high... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach Breakdown (93)
During I last trip, I shared about my backache right before the trip. This time, as if in sympathy for me, our RV had a few problems of it's own. The drive to Pismo State Beach was as beautiful as ever. Our campsite was wide and open, which is the reason the North Beach Campground... Continue Reading →
SoCal Beaches Tour RV Trip (74-78)
With temperatures dropping and rain everyday in Northern California, we decided to drive south and camp on the warm Southern California beaches in Pismo, Huntington Beach, Ventura and San Diego. While the weather didn't always cooperate (it is, after all, the middle of winter!), we still had several glorious sunny days and beautiful sunsets. Pismo... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach RV Trip (73)
We escaped to Pismo! After weeks of the flu, very unhealthy air (due to the fires in the Sierras), rain and unseasonably cold weather, we decided to head to the coast, and we were not disappointed! Pismo Beach welcomed us with great weather and plenty to do. We stayed at the Pismo Coast Village, right... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach Classic RV Trip (65)
The drive to Pismo Beach from the San Francisco Bay Area was colorful, as the fields were growing a variety of vegetables, and the hills were flowering with mustard plant and other wild flowers. Here's some info about that painted barn by Gonzales, CA. We like to stay at the Pismo State Beach North Campground... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach RV Trip (57)
The Pismo North Beach campground is our favorite place to stay in the area. A map of the area shows why. Since we love to dry camp, we prefer the open spaces of the North Beach campground to the comparatively cramped quaters of the Pismo Coast Viallage. You also get a better path to the...

Pismo Beach (and Avila and SLO) RV Trip (46)
For this months trip, we drove south from the San Francisco Bay Area to Pismo Beach for a long 4-day weekend. Because of the large sites and a grassy meadow, our favorite place to stay is the North Beach Campground at Pismo Beach State Park. It is also next to the beach, the butterfly grove, and is a short walk into... Continue Reading →
Pismo Beach State Park RV Trip (26)
We have been to Pismo Beach many times, but this was the first time we towed our CRV. It really opened up our choices, and we decided to take in a show at the Great American Melodrama Theater (http://www.americanmelodrama.com) in Ocean Beach. Great American MelodramaWhen you think of melodrama, if you think of Snidely Whiplash,... Continue Reading →
Pismo State Beach RV Trip (15)
We like to stay within a 3-4 hour radius of the San Francisco East Bay for our 3-day weekend RV Trips. On the southern end of this is one of our favorite places to visit - the North Beach Campground at Pismo Beach State Park. This is in part due to the beautiful drive down... Continue Reading →

Dates: 03/15/13 - 32/17/13 I picked up the RV on Wednesday (3/14) after work, as I had my first 5K scheduled maintenance completed by CarTek of Dublin. Ryan at CarTek runs a good operation and he is very knowledgable of RV's as SkyRiver outsources all chassis work to him. We set out the next morning... Continue Reading →
