Best time to visit Pismo State Beach

The ideal time for RV camping is May through September, when temperatures range from 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit with minimal rainfall. April and October offer pleasant shoulder-season conditions with fewer crowds. Winter months (November through February) attract visitors interested in the Monarch Butterfly Grove migration, though expect higher rainfall from December through February. Year-round camping is viable thanks to the mild coastal climate and consistent access to facilities.

Andres is very nice and made sure we knew everything about the trailer. The trailer is as described, we were very comfortable in it and slept good all night long. I would rent it again and recommend it.
