SLO Country Camp was once a part of the Serpa Ranch, one of the early ranches of the Central Coast. It’s remained a beautiful rural pocket in the Edna Valley area of San Luis Obispo. It’s quiet and peaceful, enjoy your morning coffee listening to all the birds waking up. There’s a private creek not far away that draws deer and wildlife. Just saw 3 deer run through out property 2 days ago. Owls, red tail hawks, eagles, squirrels and jack rabbits we see frequently. And you can listen to the coyotes howling at night. We’re surrounded by rolling coastal hills, vineyards, horses, cattle and also land apportioned to the Land Conservancy. Walk down our road and then left up to the top of the hill for a panoramic view of the entire area with the city San Luis Obispo at a distance. Our two sites are flat on decomposed granite pads. Both have excellent views and easy access to our common areas: wash/kitchen prep, and cold-water outdoor shower. Site 1 is best for trailers but Site 2 is adequate. Firewood is available for purchase at camp for those wanting to use the fire pit, or you can bring your own. The San Luis Obispo, Central Coast has so much to see and do! Hiking trails abound, my favorites are Bob Jones trail to walk or bike to Avila Beach, Johnson Ranch and Irish Hills for hiking hills, the Ridge trail for a view over Shell and Avila beaches, and the Harmony Trail to walk grassy cliffs by the ocean. Montano de Oro is only 15 minutes away with rocky ocean cliff trails that lead down to the coastline. We are 5 minutes from the beginning of the Edna Valley winery trail with 30 wineries or more I’ve lost count. Tasting and relaxing in great atmospheres. My favorites are Biddle Ranch, Talley, Mailene, Chamisal, Bailyanna... but there are so many more. We’re 10 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo, 10–12 minutes to Avila or Pismo beaches. Morro Bay is 25 minutes. And we’re just 5 minutes off the 101 for easy access to traveling. The Central Coast has almost everything for fun, adventure and food. Surfing, biking, hiking, ocean kayaking, paddle boarding, golf, wine and beer culture, ranch lands, shopping and restaurants and we’re close to it all.

I rolled in later than I wanted and had to leave early the next morning but am already looking forward to going back.

Friendly hosts! Property was well-maintained and stocked with necessities—it’s clear they take a great amount of pride in their camping grounds. Would stay here again next time we’re in SLO.

Site 1 - SLO Country Camp

Peaceful, hospitable, quiet, all around lovely camp site & hosts for a stay in SLO. We have four kids and a popup, and the amenities were perfect—from the fire pits to the tree swing and yard toys, to the kitchen/cleaning statuon. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Site 2 - SLO Country Camp

Ideal location.

Ken and Judi’s SLO Country Camp offers two unique campsites with individual firepits. A perfect setting in the countryside overlooking farmlands and vineyards, and just 10 minutes into downtown San Luis Obispo. The hosts, Ken and Judi, were responsive and warmly welcomed us to their spotless campground which includes thoughtful touches like a wonderful outdoor (cold) shower, table and chairs, solar lanterns and communal sink. Highly recommended. With our son at Cal Poly, we hope to return to this hidden gem.
