FREE CAMPING along the California Central Coast, visit The Hearst Castle, Morro Bay...

I didn't believe it until I actually did it, but you CAN camp along Highway 1 on the California Central Coast for free! There are many places that indicate there is no overnight parking allowed, but along the drive you'll see pull offs right along the ragged drop of coastline above the the crashing waves or just across the street.
I'll show you my spot on Highway 1 and take you along the California Coast from Cayucos, to Morro Bay to the Hearst Castle!

    Loved your video. There is no longer any camping anywhere along the 1 sadly. Signs are posted all over the place. We drove through and stopped for a few hours and it was just so beautiful, got to see the elephant seals and some otters too:) Our rig is 28 feet so not very stealthy lol. Wish I knew of a decent secret spot anywhere near there. Will try again next time. I love your channel and your vids. Thank you for sharing your experiences!❤

    I love the Hearst Castle. Glad that the state and the Hearst foundation worked out an agreement to preserve the castle. There is so much history there. Hard to imagine that there is still a huge warehouse in the village that is full of all of the same furnishings , probably enough to supply another castle. The marble staircase at the Madonna Inn restaurant came from the Hearst collection. The Spanish mission at Lompoc is also well worth seeing. If you get back south in California, the mission San Juan Capistrano is just beautiful beyond belief. The front wall of the sanctuary for the congregation is carved cherry wood and covered with Gold Leaf floor to ceiling...wall to wall. It is so beautiful that it commands your silence or to talk in hushed tones. They still hold services there , but the bells are now electronic. The bells were damaged in a previous earthquake. The church and the grounds exude such a religious atmosphere you leave there a changed person. Love your vlogs.

    You can also boon dock on Hwy 1 North of Santa Cruz, near Half Moon Bay. If this is in real time & you’re still there......and if you’re heading north.....you cannot miss Monterey.....and especially the ocean drive in Pacific Grove. Can’t boon dock along the ocean there........but you can park next to the water all day. If you have never been to Pacific Grove......this is a must!!😊😊

    Hi Robin. I had a camp hosting job on the Central Coast at Sunset State Beach. I was there for six months. That whole area is so gorgeous. But my experience was quite different than yours. once I left my position at the campground I tried to park my motorhome several places you know just near the beach or in an inconspicuous place. But I always got hassled by the police. The area seems very RV unfriendly to me. I'm glad you had a good experience

    Makes sense. Quite conflicted about the fees for state parks. After all, they're public property. At least they're supposed to be. I understand about the need to allocate salary for state personnel and the preservation of said parks. But that's what our taxes are for, right? Lord knows, this State feels like a foreign country sometimes.

    Cherri Gray Maybe because the title says free overnite camping, not tour of the Hearst Castle. She just rushed through the camping part at the very end of the video. And it's possible people didn't watch it all the way through because it seemed like click bait.

    I wanted to tell you that there's such a thing as dry toilets. It's an aluminum wrap that wraps your solids round and round when you flush and then you throw away. For urine, you throw some kitty litter in there so it will make it solid then flush, same process will happen, throw away. Don't know if you knew that....

    I'v had this stupid cheap porta potty toilet that has leaked at least 3 times and once very nasty! Somehow the handles did not grab the edges well and am considering trying to cat litter box method. It is just me and my dog anyhow so ho cares anyways! It also REALLY will save on time and making a mess cleaning that thing when its time to dump it at the public park bathrooms. I've had a few messes at the public bathrooms where I had to literally clean up the entire bathroom myself because the damn hole where you dump it slips from the seat (don't ask me how but it does) and there goes few ounces of poop all over the floor so cat litter starts to sound way much better and will save on water also, and even odors probably! I had a cat for 17 yrs so I know it will not bother me to scoop it up, put it in bag, find a public trash can, throw it in and bam! Same with the urine, it all clumps.

    Yea, it would of bee nice to see your van or whaver your traveling in, an idea where you parked, DETAILS!. But overall, it did spark a desire to pack up and go for a short trip. I'm currently in Baja and you CANNOT beat anything like USA. USA is all about $$$$$$ and restrictions. Mexico is so super chap and if you look careful and patiently you will find some very nice VERY affordable campspots to rent or free instead of finding the "safe spot" where the "gringos" go. You can literally park on the sides of the roads (just not outside and into the streets because you dn't know what kind of neighborhood is there but you can live for a long long time in Baja/Tijuana/Ensenada/Rosarito and be safe and comfy but make sure your vehicle is well/very well secure, not just a cheap lock either. Have a small radio on if you leave and leave the vents open, a fan, something that will make people think twice before wanting to break it and you'll be alright. Evn parking overnight for a week or day is pretty cheap if you look around.
