Wel come Pismo State Beach

North Beach Campground
555 Pier Ave. • Oceano, CA 93445 • (805) 473-7220

Pismo State Beach offers all kinds of attractions: hiking, swimming, surf fishing, and digging for the
famous Pismo clam. The park has the largest over-wintering colony of monarch butterflies in the U.S.
Pismo is also the only beach in California where the sand is firm enough to support travel by standard
highway automobiles, and where this activity is permitted.

the park. The campsite fee covers one vehicle
and its towed trailer. There are additional fees
for extra vehicles. Payment for campsite is due
within 15 minutes of occupancy.
