Lopez Lake Campsite

Lopez Lake Recreation Area is a San Luis Obispo County park built around Lopez Lake, a reservoir in the coastal hills east of Arroyo Grande. The county-run campground has more than 350 sites ranging from primitive tent spots to full hookup RV sites, along with flush restrooms, showers, a marina, boat ramp, and a swimming lagoon, making it a popular base for exploring the Central Coast backroads between Highway 101 and Highway 166. The park sits along a mix of ranch and canyon roads that draw touring riders through the Arroyo Grande and Los Padres foothills, and campers can book sites online through the county reservation system up to a year ahead or call the on-site office for last minute or same day arrivals. Boating, fishing, hiking, and mountain biking trails around the lake give visitors options beyond the campsite itself.
