A group of us went to Pismo for Father's Day weekend. The beach was packed with a bunch of idiots parking right on the tide line, which made entering and exiting an adventure, but the dunes themselves weren't really that crowded.

 

As long as you're not making an ass of yourself, like speeding through someone's campsite or pulling wheelies on the beach, the Rangers don't bother with checking for red stickers or spark arrestors. It's pretty obvious when the drag 'Shees go by with open pipes that there ain't no screen in the way! Not much to burn with a few million tons of sand out there, anyway.

 

Get your camping reservations through www.ReserveAmerica.com and save yourself a lot of hassles. They sell out of camping "spots" on weekends.

 

Make sure you have a flag and stay away from the beach and the Rangers will definitely ignore you. I've never had my bikes checked in the dozen times I've been to Pismo.

 

The sand was like baby powder, and I saw trucks getting stuck that you would expect to be going everywhere. Air down the tires while you're still on the beach and take it easy.

Do you have to have a reservation to go sand camping?

Yes, it is recommended.

 

I went there last summer without a reservation, and they wouldn't let me camp since they were "Sold Out". It's a $270 fine if you get caught camping without paying.

 

They're only allowed to sell a specified amount of "reservations", and they don't really care if there are no-shows. Once they hit that specified number, they're done for the night or weekend. I'm sure that Independence Day and Labor Day weekends are sold out. You're not actually getting a specific spot, you can camp anywhere you like after you cross the river.
