Another vote here for Pismo Coast RV Village. I stayed there a couple of months ago and thought it was very nice. They had a nice store and a 7-11 within walking distance. They also have a restaurant which cooks up some nice meat on a big outdoor grill.
I think you all scared the OP away. Rightly so. Pismo a nasty place for the casual camper. You can't even get to the water because of ATVs traffic. It seems to blow 25 knotts constant. You have to bank your camper up with sand to shield the wind. Not fun at all.
Shane, welcome to the post and have a good time at Pismo Beach! In my opinion I wouldn't take my coach out on the sand! I know a few people that did that at the Lobster Creek Sand Bar on the Rogue River, Southern Oregon, and it cost them over $500.00 dollars to get towed out. Also you do not want to expose your under carriage of your coach to salt water, especially if you plan on keeping it. If your rich then disregard what I said and have a good time. John

I've seen large pushers camped out on the beach in Pismo several times. Not sure how they got there because campers have to cross a small creek bed to get to the camping areas. Perhaps they move their coaches across the creek during low tide?
We've spent a lot of time in Pismo (lived in Bakersfield over 50 years) and have driven the dunes with quads, jeeps and other 4wd vehicles. But, I wouldn't take our coach on the beach for the reasons stated before. Undercarriage rust, getting stuck and the blowing sand. Plus, the camping area can get very busy and wild during peak season and holidays and that's just something I like to avoid.
Also might want to check out Pismo Dunes RV park. I'ts a few miles from the beach. We stayed there two years ago and the park seemed nice and quite.

most of people I have seen pulling trailers and small RVs run their tires almost half flat, truck and trailer, this included the large three axle Rapters toyhaulers. if you dont do both you will be stuck 20ft off the road, same with large class A's, but for most large class A's there is really no spot to hook a cable except for the hitch, I know I would not take mine out, the blowing sand and all, I also have never seen a 50 amp hook up out in the Dunes, let me know if you find one!!!!
We wen there several years ago with our Pace Arrow pulling a 20' enclosed trailer. Didn't get stuck. Just stay down by the hard pack, almost wet, sand until you find your spot and make a nice wide u-turn to the spot. The 'spot' should be about 5 to 10 feet above the high tide line and parallel to the water. If you try to go in any more than that, you WILL get stuck.
I won't take our DP there as it's much heavier and I don't like rust!!
