San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area
RV Guide

Offering both water and electrical hookups, San Luis Creek Campground is one of the two camp areas situated near O’Neill Forebay and the only one with hookups. There are 53 campsites, all boasting electric (30-amp), and water connections. A few campsites offer excellent views of the shore. The campground is not very well shaded and is prone to disturbances from the winds.
The maximum length for RVs like campers, motorhomes, and trailers is 30 feet or less. Each site comes with a level pad, a campfire ring with a grill for cooking, and a concrete picnic table. There are no flush toilets or showers. A dump station is available. Campers can use the new five-mile accessible trail to get to the North Beach Day Use Area. Pets are welcome as long as they are restrained, and reservations are recommended.

The Basalt Campground is the only campground on San Luis Reservoir, and it has 79 spacious campsites. The campground sits near the reservoir in a well-shaded, wind-protected valley featuring family and pet-friendly campsites. On-site amenities include water faucets, modern restrooms with running water, hot showers, and flush toilets. There is also an RV dump station for your convenience. Each of the campsites here has a picnic table, fire ring, and BBQ grill with plenty of room to hang out around the fire. There are no hookup sites in the campground. Not all, but some sites accommodate campers, motorhomes, and trailers up to 30 feet in length. Others offer accommodations for vehicles smaller than 30 feet. Camping is a year-round activity, and the campground offers reservations.

San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area also boasts two extra-large group campgrounds along the shores of the O’Neill Forebay. Group Camp A accommodates up to 60 people and 15 vehicles. This campsite has 10 concrete picnic tables with ramadas for shade, several campfire rings with grills for cooking, and tons of space to spread out and have fun. Group Camp B has room for up to 30 people and 10 vehicles. There are five concrete tables with ramadas, several fire pits with grills, and lots of room to play or hang out around the fire. There are no hookups, but there are modern restrooms with running water and showers with hot water. Go ahead and bring your pooch but make sure they are leashed or otherwise restrained while you are here. Both sites are only available by reservation.

This campground boasts 350 primitive campsites on the southern shores of O’Neill Forebay that can accommodate RVs of any size. Although there are no hookups available, there are a bunch of vault toilets and several potable water spigots available among the campsites. Many of the sites have a campfire ring with a grill to cook on, a large concrete picnic table, and some have a ramada for shade.
At the Medeiros Campground, you are only a few miles from the boat ramp, and this part of the lake is known for its huge striped bass. Pets are welcome but must be supervised and restrained at all times. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis, and although there are 350 sites, they will fill up fast in the summertime. They may not have showers and playgrounds, but they do have waterfront camping, and no reservations are needed.

Also known for its excellent fishing, the Los Banos Creek Campground has 20 primitive sites on the shoreline of the Los Banos Creek and Reservoir. The fishing is so impressive here that they sometimes host fishing derbies for bass, but you can also catch massive crappie and bluegill. Each of the 20 sites has a concrete picnic table with a ramada for shade and a fire ring with a grill for cooking.
The sites here are smaller than the other campgrounds, making this a good option for those with smaller RVs or campervans. Potable drinking water spigots are available, as are chemical toilets and boating areas. You can bring your furbaby, too, as long as you keep your pet properly restrained and supervised while you are here. These are all first-come, first-served campsites, so arrive early in the day if you want to get one of these spots.
