From US-101 in San Luis Obispo take SR-1 Northwest toward Morro Bay, going approx. 5 miles to Front Gate of Camp San Luis Obispo (on the left hand side of the road). Turn left and enter the front gate of Camp San Luis Obispo using the right lane. They'll open the gate for you. Upon enter the installation, make an immediate left hand turn onto San Joaquin Ave. Look for the Billeting sign on the right (Bldg 738). There's room for big rigs to park in front of Billeting. After checking in, make an immediate right (SW) onto Ventura Ave. Continue straight until you cross a bridge over the creek. Then make an immediate right turn (NW) onto Colusa Ave. Continue on Colusa Ave. until you come to a closed gate. The campground is on your left.
Came here in mid-August coming from the hot valley and it was so refreshing to have some nice mild weather again. Very simple yet peaceful campground with clean, working facilities and neighbors.
Check in was a breeze, and overflow parking was an amazing price to just park the car, pitch a tent, and just enjoy some time for yourself.
My Verizon service was barely usable and there's no wifi, otherwise, I would've given 5 stars.
After my daughter attended camp with other Sea Cadets, I heard about her experience for weeks after. She reported that while the camp left much to be desired. The exchange has no selection and the barracks has no insulation—BUT the staff was spectacular!
July 20-23, 2022, I spent a very enjoyable time at the overflow tent camping. As always, the office staff was excellent. The gate guards were very courteous. The chow hall was very reasonable. The days were sunny with temperatures in the 70's during the day and overcast and in the mid-50's at night, perfect for tenting. I look forward to my next visit.
We are returning customers of the RV campground. The price is right, the temperature is perfect. There isn't wifi so we read paperbacks. It's an easy jaunt into town so we can get groceries as needed. The restrooms are decent. The floors could be cleaner so bring shower shoes! It's quiet and pleasant.
Great military lodging hidden treasure. Have to leave message to reserve room, but reply was quick. Check in process easy. We got building 622, recently renovated. Complete with iron, ironing board, dinnerware, (no pots), Keurig, toaster, microwave and mini fridge. Will definitely stay here again. Also there is an EV charger on base. Only 4 stars because couch should be replaced soon. Overall great stay!
