First Time Camping on Beach in Pismo Beach, California

We decided last minute to make our way up to Pismo Beach California for a quick over night camping trip! First we hook up our Patriot Camper X1 to our Toyota Tacoma, and then we're on our way.

    Hey you are in my backyard 😂, fyi air down to around 12 psi and you can go just about anywhere out there

    Which part of the Pismo was it? When I was camping at North Beach campground there last year and drove to the actual beach, they were charging $5/day to enter and making sure that everyone is out by the dark. Or perhaps it's a different part of the beach? Would be really helpful if someone posts google map GPS coordinates of where exactly the camping is allowed.

    Any time you drive on the beach you should air down your tires to 12-15 psi for traction. Weekdays are best and next time bring some sand toys.

    We definitely want to bring toys next time! We had taken the tires down to about 22 (amateur move). Next time, we’re totally going as low as we can go

    I live there. It's not the beach locals go to. too windy and strong currents. if they would have gone up the coast 15 minutes they would have reached Avila Beach. It's a south facing beach so its less windy and no current so the kids can play in the water.

    Local here. No, you can't drive on the beach at avila. But it is a much less windy beach so a little nicer. I have to admit, I never see the beach as crowded as your video shows but then, as I live here, it made me think how often I actually get to go down there. Not often enough!

    nice rig! I didn’t go on the beach when I was there for fear of getting stuck. I assume you had traction boards, that didn’t help?

    We got lucky and got stuck right in front of a group of camper. Gave them a good show digging the truck down to the frame. Traction boards are for sure a purchase down the road!

    Hi! It’s basically a free for all on the beach. I believe the park services tries to limit the amount of people camping at once (although it still gets super crowded). Just make sure to air down if you try to go far back on the beach. The sand gets super soft (found out the hard way).
