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. (Check out our copy of a local trail book when you are here for more extensive listings) 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.

Nice and quiet and peaceful. The shower heater worked the first time but not the second time. Otherwise a flat spot to park your rig.

Great camp setup in wine country
Great location about 10-15 minutes into town, 5-10 minutes to wineries in the area. Rural feel surrounded by rolling hills and vineyard views. Foggy mornings, sunny days and chilly nights. Nicely appointed, nice size spots. Each has a table and chair setup, campfire with chairs, and a communal wash area. Hosts are quick to respond and helpful, close enough but still felt private. Great Hipcamp!

We had an amazing time at Ken and Judy‘s. The hosts are super helpful and we felt really welcomed. The side is set up with lots of details and love, we only spend one night here and would have loved to stay longer. I can only recommend staying here.

This was a great campsite! Has the amenities you need to make it feel like glamping, but it’s off the beaten path enough to make it feel like you’re camping. Ken and Judi are great hosts and made it very easy to feel comfortable. I’d definitely come back to stay here again.

Ken & Judi's SLO Country camp was wonderful. There was plenty of space in our campsite for our trailer, kids, bikes, etc. My kids loved the hammock and tree swing. Ken was very helpful, welcoming, and accommodating, helping us make our trip a memorable one. The camp is off a quiet street, with quiet neighbors, and beautiful hillside views. SLO Regional Airport isn't too far away, but the airplane noise wasn't too loud and it stopped before bedtime each night. The camp is near shopping, Edna Valley wineries, and 101 freeway was just a short drive away for any of your excursions. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Beautiful views and great set up with a fire ring, easy access to water, work spaces, and a cool shower. The hosts set up the camping area with a great eye for detail and comfort. I will return for a longer stay next time so am in the area.

Great spot just outside of SLO. Tucked into side yard of house on 10 acres. Views are lovely and you are still close to town. Hosts were welcoming and have made the sites very comfortable- water, toilet, tables and chairs, firepits. You can imagine living the semi-rural life!

Great Hipcamp in SLO
So Ken and Judi’s Hipcamp was a wonderful stay for my son(8) and I. Right on the outskirts of SLO it was a perfect place to see the city and travel to Avila and Pismo. They have two well appointed sites with everything you could ask for. We look forward to another stay with them in the future.

Wonderful spot surrounded by rolling green hills in the spring. Ken and Judi were very friendly and super hospitable! They told us where to go see a super bloom (Shell Creek Road) and it did not disappoint! We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Pretty spot off a quiet country roa
.Campsite number two was nicely set up and ready for us to just pull our van into and get straight to relaxing. Hosts were super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. There was a bit of private aircraft noise Friday night from the nearby airport, but it settled down by 10p and then was quiet. I even used the outdoor shower inn the morning, which was refreshing and very welcome. Nice spot I wish we stayed more than one night.

Everything and more.
Ken and Judi’s Hipcamp was great. It had everything we needed and more. We only stayed one night as we were traveling up the coast. Ken was very helpful when he took a wrong turn and ended up at a neighbors Hipcamp. He met us with a flashlight to guide us in. We would be happy to stay again if our future plans find us in SLO.

Beautiful property in the countryside of SLO. Ken was super friendly and has added many thoughtful touches to make the property warm and homey. We used this spot as a launching pad to see the Carrizo Plain wildflowers. Highly recommend!

SLO weekend getaway
Ken and Judi were easy to communicate with and their place is so lovely! The location is close to town and the beach- so easy to get around. The site was so nice with a stone block fire ring and Adirondacks to get cozy and comfy around. The additional workspace and table and chairs was nice to set up camp “kitchen”. So many special touches around the property… aItogether it was a great getaway spot for our family! Thank you!
