Today we drove over to Avila Beach in Avila, CA – one of our favorite places.  The downtown area has all been updated and is great for strolling, shopping, having coffee, snacking, watching surfers, etc.  We also drove out to the pier and saw some interesting camping opportunities.  RVs can park along Avila Beach Drive and get a fabulous view of the ocean, the hills and the beautiful shoreline.  Prices range from $30 to $50 per night.  The full hookups are 50/30 amp and that’s in the Coastal Gateway area.  There are $45 sites, also with full hookups, at Babe Lane and they are up a small hill so the view is even better.  Then there’s the Nobi point which is dry camping along the road and that is $30/night.

All sites are self pay and there is a dump station you can use if you’re dry camping, but it’s $20 and you have to make an appointment.

We haven’t tried it but it is definitely on our list for a future stay.  For more info, go to this website for the full scoop.
