Love the Location, Beautiful View, Walk to Beach and Port San Luis Pier. Two restaurants are within easy walking distance, town of Avila is close by, too. There’s even a small market by the Pier where you can also rent kayaks. Lost A Star Only Because Of Traffic And No Campfires (propane Only).

Everything is booked through their online portal and they had one site left, NP3, which was parallel park to the bay! $70+10 processing fee but whatever, falling asleep to the crashing waves and waking up to the sound of seals was worth it!

Awesome spaces because you’re literally just above the beach! Easy walk to restaurants, fishing off pier or hanging out at the beach.
~ Negatives- When Diablo employees start going to work at 4am-8am it’s non-stop road noise. The road is so busy now you have to be careful with small pets and children.

This review applies only to the Woodward lot, as Nobi Point is set a little more off the road and with more spacing, and the other lots are after PG&E’s private road, which is the source of one major problem.
I do feel like they should let you know ahead of time that shift change at the power plant, for which the only access is our street, is right around 5am. Because between about 4 and 6am, somewhere around 200 cars, trucks, and motorcycles drive right by what I assumed was a quiet road. Twice, one of the employees thought it’d be cute to honk the entire way from Nobi Point, right on up to his turn at the end of Wood Yard.
Furthermore, there is construction behind the Woodyard lot that looks like it’ll be going on for quite a while longer: they’re building what wil no doubt be a beautiful new RV resort up off the road behind us. But for now, there are trucks dropping and picking up trailers on the street behind Wood Yard between 6am and 7am, plus the sound of tractors’ rolling tracks and backup beepers of all kinds for most of the day.
Something I did notice, but didn’t consider the implications of, is that generators are allowed to be on until 10am. That’s bit typically a problem, except that if both neighbors have a generator running, at least one of them is likely be be right on your “property line,” and with sites as narrow as this, that can be quite an inconvenience. Especially knowing your going to be woken up at 4.
Now, if noise doesn’t bother you, or if you have a super-insulated, quiet rig, this place is truly amazing. Our kids played on the ocean below while we watched from up above. Sunrise was spectacular (the sun sets here maybe 2 hours before it sets at Avila Beach because it’s tucked right up against the hill, so you really don’t get the watch it, and it does get cool and windy earlier).
The location is great for its proximity to attractions, but (again, specifically for Wood Yard, terrible for its proximity to the PG&E property entrance, and the construction zone (which will go away someday).

Sent 2 nights here in Avila Beach. Dry camp site with no amities other that being right next to the beach. Could here the waves crashing at night. All sites are right next to the road so some noise to deal with but the ocean view makes up for it.

Port San Luis in Avila Beach has 4 options for fully-contained camping. No tents allowed. Fully contained RVs only. We stayed in the Woodyard site which does not have any amenities. This campground is really just a pull out along the road on the short cliff overlooking the bay. Spots are well-marked. Host is friendly. Views are tremendous. A little noisy from the road traffic on one side and the ocean on the other. But, easily walkable to the town of Avila Beach and to the working pier in the port. Also accessible to the Bob Jones bike trail. Golf course is a mile away.
The Port has one other dry site called Nobi Point. Sites with full hook-ups are available in another area closer to the pier. Also, full hook-ups for boat trailer camping.
Unfortunately, the Port Authority is building a new glamping campground on the hillside so these oceanfront sites will be going away soon.

But campground staff is very good about addressing issues. There is some traffic noise and toilets/showers are about 7 minute walk from Nobi. Despite all that we enjoyed Nobi seems like #6 is only space open for months out, likely because it’s the smallest. Our van < 20 ft so was fine for us.

Prices have gone up. $70 plus required $10 fee for sites with hookup. $50 plus $10 fee for dry camping. Restrooms and showers available at the harbor but nothing in the small campgrounds which are located along the road. Nice beach, fishing pier and a few restaurants in walking distance. While the location is great I think it is seriously overpriced for what you get: a very small spot jammed up against your neighbors.

I will go back again and again, it was a 4 1/2 hour drive but well worth it, this spot is dry camping, we did not mind since we have solar, two 100 watt panels and was more than enough. NP1, NP2, NP3, are the best for dry camping, $23 charge to use their dump station and they have water so do not need to carry it with you.
