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.
Ken and Judi have a beautiful piece of country property with gorgeous sunset views. They responded immediately to all correspondence and put such thought into the touches and charm at the camp sites - sitting areas, fire pits, outdoor shower, battery candles in jars! Loved it

Had a nice time at the site as a stop over before continuing to San Diego. Nice amenities and well taken care of. Ken was welcoming and greeting us not long after we arrived.

We enjoyed a beautiful and peaceful stay at SLO Camp and our host, Ken was fabulously responsive and helpful especially given our late night arrival. Site 2 was easy to navigate. While our stay was short, I can see that SLO Camp is well-located as a base camp for exploring all the Central Coasts many attractions.

This is a lovely campsite with lots of conveniences. It's private but close to town and has many supplies on-site. Ken and Judi were also very kind and helpful. Highly recommend for a chill and peaceful camping experience!

The host was very nice and helpful and the campsite was cute, however it was much closer to the host's home than we would have liked. It felt like we were camping on their front lawn, which made it awkward. Also, the description made it sound like we could walk to a trail to the beach directly from the site, but that was not the case.
