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.

This was such an awesome RV and Jason was such an amazing host. He was so professional and helpful and even met us at the location to go over all the details of the RV. The RV itself was great, all of the photos were an accurate representation of the RV itself and everything seemed to be in good condition and clean. This is one of the things that I am most particular about is cleanliness and Jason‘s honesty and help was so great. We brought our own pillows just because I am a freak about things like that but other than that, everything was provided in the RV and we had such an amazing trip. The reclining massage chairs were a big hit with everyone that visited our RV. The kitchen went to good use and was fully stocked with pots and cooking utensils, etc. The kids had a fun movie night one night watching some of the DVDs provided. The bed was relatively comfortable, considering it’s an RV and there was a lot of space for us to spread out and have our own little cozy spots for my husband, my daughter, my son, and myself. I would 100% rent again from Jason.

Communication with Craig was amazing. It’s hard to get timely replies on this app. Craig responds immediately. He also came and helped us when our generator (that we brought) wasn’t working. He brought his own and saved the day! Amazing time and awesome RV

Working with Denise was terrific. She was very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. Her trailer is well equipped, and thoughtfully decorated. It worked well for the two of us. We can tell she really cares about her renters and wants them to have a good experience. Of course we always have a good time staying at the Pismo Coast RV resort! Denise found us a nice spot for the trailer along the lagoon.
