Best all-around: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

SLO Country Camp was once a part of the Serpa Ranch, one of the early ranches of the Central Coast. It’s remained a beautiful rural pocket in the Edna Valley area of San Luis Obispo. It’s quiet and peaceful, enjoy your morning coffee listening to all the birds waking up. There’s a private creek not far away that draws deer and wildlife. Just saw 3 deer run through out property 2 days ago. Owls, red tail hawks, eagles, squirrels and jack rabbits we see frequently. And you can listen to the coyotes howling at night. We’re surrounded by rolling coastal hills, vineyards, horses, cattle and also land apportioned to the Land Conservancy. Walk down our road and then left up to the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the entire area with the city San Luis Obispo at a distance. Our two sites are flat on decomposed granite pads. Both have excellent views and easy access to our common areas: wash/kitchen prep, and cold-water outdoor shower. Site 1 is best for trailers but Site 2 is adequate. Firewood is available for purchase at camp for those wanting to use the fire pit, or you can bring your own. The San Luis Obispo, Central Coast has so much to see and do! Hiking trails abound, my favorites are Bob Jones trail to walk or bike to Avila Beach, Johnson Ranch and Irish Hills for hiking hills, the Ridge trail for a view over Shell and Avila beaches, and the Harmony Trail to walk grassy cliffs by the ocean. Montano de Oro is only 15 minutes away with rocky ocean cliff trails that lead down to the coastline. We are 5 minutes from the beginning of the Edna Valley winery trail with 30 wineries or more I’ve lost count. Tasting and relaxing in great atmospheres. My favorites are Biddle Ranch, Talley, Mailene, Chamisal, Bailyanna... but there are so many more. We’re 10 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, 10–12 minutes to Avila or Pismo beaches. Morro Bay is 25 minutes. And we’re just 5 minutes off the 101 for easy access to traveling. The Central Coast has almost everything for fun, adventure and food. Surfing, biking, hiking, ocean kayaking, paddle boarding, golf, wine and beer culture, ranch lands, shopping and restaurants and we’re close to it all.

Site 2 - SLO Country Camp

Perfect!

This is a great campsite for anyone making a Pacific Coast roadtrip. Right on a ranch so you can walk around and see plenty of horses. Nice and quiet despite being close to SLO. Strongly recommend!

Cold showers

Host was very friendly and helpful. Although we had nice neighbors, we were surprised and disappointed at the proximity of the next campsite. We did not have the privacy we were expecting. It would be nice if they fixed the little water heater for the outdoor shower. We are too old to take cold showers.

Site 1 - SLO Country Camp

Very private and quiet

I was there for three nights in site 1 (mid April), just me and my dog. Very private since no one was in site 2 except for the first night. Even though site 1 is close to the private residence, I never saw anyone. Beautiful weather, especially mornings, heavy fog at night leaving ground wet until sun came out. Quite windy afternoons. Enjoyed the rural atmosphere and beautiful view of green hills, cattle and horses around. Might be too hot for me in summer!
