street at the Holiday RV Park &#8211; big mistake.\u00a0 You&#8217;re crammed in like sardines over there and there&#8217;s no vegetation.\u00a0 We happened to walk across the street to this place and knew instantly we&#8217;d made the wrong choice by selecting Holiday RV off the internet.\u00a0 So this year we got it right.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m blogging about RV parks.\u00a0 Now, hopefully you won&#8217;t make the same mistake.\u00a0 Be sure to pick this park, <a title=\"Pismo Coast Village\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pismocoastvillage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pismo Coast Village RV Resort<\/a>, when you come to Pismo to stay.\u00a0 It&#8217;s very scenic and there are lots of big cypress trees to offer shade.<\/p>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview

class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crowded like the Holiday RV park but the spaces are bigger and we are right on the ocean.\u00a0 We are nice and close to the downtown area.\u00a0 We walked to Old West Cinnamon Buns yesterday and it only took about 10 minutes (the pecan topping is heaven).\u00a0 The main pier and central town are right there too.\u00a0 Great location.<\/p>\n<p>Pismo Creek runs alongside and around the back of the\u00a0 park, so to get to the beach, you have to walk around the creek but it&#8217;s only about a 5 minute walk.\u00a0 That may change at other times of the year but for now, that&#8217;s the scoop.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a clubhouse, pool, arcade for kids and a small restaurant.\u00a0 Haven&#8217;t tried any of those things but they look clean and nice.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been cold during our stay so it would be better to come later in the year if you want to be warm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important to note that all the sites are back in only &#8211; no pull throughs. <\/strong> Not a problem for us but the huge coaches may have a problem.\u00a0 Most spaces are nice and wide though.<\/p>\n<p>This is a shareholders park so people own a share and there are 1800 shares.\u00a0 They were sold out at the initial offering but there are resales available now.\u00a0 You get 45 days of free stay each year and can store your RV if you want.\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t interest us so I don&#8217;t know the price of the share but what it means to me is that the place is well-kept and you can see pride of ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Although we would definitely come back to this park, we would also like to try Pismo Beach State Park North Beach Campground (which is right next door), because the spaces are much larger.\u00a0  It is actually more expensive now ($50\/night) to stay in a state park  than a nice RV resort.\u00a0 Crazy.\u00a0 We would also like to try the state park in Morro  Bay &#8211; it&#8217;s $50 a night but it&#8217;s really beautiful.\u00a0 And Avila Beach has a  place where you can dry camp for $30\/night &#8211; also very nice.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Trails.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p
