Paso Robles, CA.
Friday, September 2, 2011
While not really "real" camping, this place is really the only place in El Paso De Robles to stay in a RV, with the exception of the one north of town which does not look like a place I would want to stay. I believe it was about $75 a night for a nice spot, all full hookups and not unlike any other place, there are good and not so good spots. They have premium spots, pull thrus, concrete, decomposed granite and a couple dirt spots. Some up against a block wall, on a hilltop, right next to the next guy or up against the vineyard next door with an awesome view and great sunsets! Our favorite is spot 87 because it is one of the few vineyard spots where the vegetation is minimal leaving an unobstructed view of the grapes, but that may change in time (See picture of spot 87). There are no fire pits in the sites and I don't know if you can bring your own.
We like to go here in October because of the harvest festival, lots happening at various wineries as well as wine tasting at the RV park in the clubhouse. The pools here are nice but usually full of kids, however the jacuzzi is AWESOME! A fairly new spa built amongst concrete rock formations complete with a waterfall and a gas firepit. And best of all, NO KIDS ALLOWED!
The winery next door is Eos, formerly Firestone. The people there are quite bitchy but the wine was good and you get there by going through a gate from the RV park and walking up in between the vines, it's very cool. There is also a nice waterpark across the street. The also have a small store on-site with all the usual stuff, but this store has lots of wine and wine accessories.
Pros:
- The jacuzzi
- Close proximity to wineries
- Not too many screaming kids
- Friendly staff
- Good AT&T cell coverage
- Reservations can't be made online
- Some highway noise
