The Great Outdoors

Atascadero is situated near the northern edge of the massive Los Padres National Forest, a 1.75 million-acre stretch of mountains, rivers, forests and beaches sprawled across central and southern California. This park is really the true California experience. Redwood groves and towering peaks shoot up to cobalt skies, sometimes dotted with soaring bald eagles, California condors, and red-tailed hawks. Keep your eyes peeled for common large mammals like mule deer, bighorn sheep and over 460 other fish and wildlife species. Be aware, though, predators like mountain lions, California kingsnakes, and coyotes aren’t too uncommon out here, either. This park also offers over 300 miles of Big Sur hiking trails.

RV Parks

You’ll find no shortage of parks in this area once you rent an RV in Atascadero. If you have an Elks membership, for instance, you can actually stay in the city at Atascadero Elks Lodge #2733. They offer full hookups with 50 amp service and an on-site sewage station. About 20 minutes from Atascadero itself, you’ll find El Chorro Regional Park Campground, which has volleyball courts, a dog park, horseshoe pits and a barbeque. El Chorro has full hookups as well, with electricity, sewer, and water, and it’s also near the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden, as well as a number of hiking trails.

Exploring the City

In addition to these fantastic camping and hiking areas, there is no shortage of places to take your RV rental in Atascadero. For instance, be sure to check out the Charles Paddock Zoo. It’s the California Central Coast’s only zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Home to hundreds of animal species housed over five wooded acres, the zoo is home to red pandas, Malaysian tigers, lemurs, and much, much more. In downtown Atascadero, on the other hand, you’ll find the Sunken Gardens recreation area. Pose beside its beautiful fountain, or get some shots of its elegant Greek-inspired “Wrestling Bacchantes” statue. Downtown Atascadero also has a huge amount of art galleries, boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants, as well as a moving veteran’s memorial, and historic City Hall, which features a museum exhibit along with its magnificent architecture.

We had a wonderful time, and Amir took amazing care of us. The camper was incredibly comfortable. We comfortably slept as a family of five in it for several nights. It made a huge difference to our camping holiday.
