Saddle Mountain

16 RV Sites

Saddle Mountain in Carmel, California, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites on 89 acres of wooded forestland off Carmel Valley Road, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs sized to 30 feet. Popular, Popular XL, and Premium categories join cabins and luxury tents, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, and sports courts. Sixteen back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The 30-foot cap is the key planning detail — this suits smaller trailers and vans rather than large coaches, and the three tiers let you match site to rig. Cabins and luxury tents round out the lodging, and both come with beds, linens, pillows, towels, and washcloths; cabins have central heating and air conditioning as standard. Restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with sports courts, basketball, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, and a playground across the acreage. Stargazing is strong under the forest canopy, and wine tasting and a golf course are nearby. Pets are welcome. The 89 acres of private oak, Monterey pine, and coastal redwood sit five miles from Highway 1 and 30 miles up the coast from Big Sur. That distance from the highway is what makes the seclusion real rather than nominal, while Carmel-by-the-Sea, Point Lobos State Reserve, and the 17-Mile Drive stay within easy reach. Summer is peak on the Monterey Peninsula. With 16 sites, reserve well ahead.

Pismo Sands RV Resort

48 RV Sites, 4 Cottages

Pismo Sands RV Resort in Oceano, California, delivers a comfortable and well-equipped coastal camping experience on California's Central Coast, positioned near the Halcyon Road exit along US-101 with easy access to the Oceano Dunes, the beaches of Pismo Beach and Grover Beach, and the wine country of the Santa Barbara County interior that makes this stretch of the California coast one of the most rewarding destinations for travelers who combine beach recreation with vineyard touring. The resort's gated community layout and resort-caliber amenities provide a premium experience in a region where campground options range from bare-bones state beach sites to RV park accommodations. The resort's infrastructure serves guests looking for comfort alongside the natural appeal of the Central Coast setting. An outdoor pool, laundry, general store, game room, library, playground, shuffleboard, and Wi-Fi create a well-rounded daily amenity set, while full hookup utility connections serve self-contained RVs with water, electric, and sewer access. The gated entrance provides security for guests leaving rigs on-site during day trips to the beach, vineyards, and state parks that fill a Central Coast itinerary, and propane fills and a dump station address the practical mechanical needs of extended-stay travelers. The Oceano area's natural landscape is shaped by the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex—one of the largest coastal dune systems on the Pacific Coast—where windswept sand mounds, freshwater wetlands, and seasonal wildflower displays create a coastal ecosystem of genuine ecological significance and visual drama. The Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area provides the only California state beach where highway-capable vehicles and ATVs are permitted to drive on the sand and dunes, creating a unique motorized recreation environment alongside the non-motorized swimming and beach access that defines most of the surrounding state beaches. Pismo Beach's iconic pier, the family-friendly shell shop and seafood restaurant corridor of Price Street, and the historic Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove—where tens of thousands of monarch butterflies overwinter in an eucalyptus grove from October through February—provide easily accessible day activities within a short drive north of the resort. The Edna Valley, Arroyo Grande Valley, and the broader Paso Robles wine region extend north and east from the resort's position, offering tasting room access at wineries recognized for chardonnay, pinot noir, and rhône varietals in a wine country setting far less crowded than Napa or Sonoma. San Luis Obispo's vibrant downtown, Hearst Castle at San Simeon, and Big Sur's coastal cliffs all lie within comfortable driving range along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor. Pismo Sands RV Resort operates year-round in the Central Coast's mild Mediterranean climate, where summer fog and marine layer typically burn off to warm afternoons and winter temperatures rarely drop below the low 40s Fahrenheit. The resort's sheltered location just back from the immediate shoreline moderates the wind exposure that beachfront sites experience, and the combination of pool, gated security, and comprehensive utility hookups makes it a particularly appealing base for snowbirds who winter on the California coast. Reservations for the monarch butterfly season and summer school-vacation period should be secured well in advance.

Angels Camp is the town Mark Twain made famous with his 1865 story about the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and the Jumping Frog Jubilee still runs every May. The gold rush mining history that shaped the town is visible throughout the Highway 49 corridor, with Calaveras Big Trees State Park's giant sequoias, Mercer Caverns, and the Sierra foothill wine country all close — and Yosemite within a longer day's reach.
