Looking for a site in late August. Please let know rates and availability.

Hi, do you have cabins for rent?
Hi Rosalba,
Sorry, there are no cabins at San Luis Creek campground. You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability for campsites though.
Can 2 tents fit in one campsite?
Hi Jeremy,
That depends on the campsite. Most campsites at San Luis Creek campground can accommodate two tents. Have a great trip!
Hi is there an age policy at your campground?
Hi Jose,
There is no age policy at San Luis Creek campground, other than there must be an adult staying at the campsite. Minors can not camp by themselves without an adult.
Will swimming be possible at todays arrival?
Hi Claudia,
The California State Parks & Recreation site is still urging caution and to avoid water contact at San Luis Reservoir due to an Algal Bloom. However, that notice was dated June 28, 2019. Most likely the Bloom is still causing problems with warmer weather. You might want to try to call directly for an update:(209) 826-1197
I was able to find a hook-up campsite that is available. What exactly does hook-up mean, I don’t have an RV. I am just looking for a tent campsite. Is it okay to book a hook-up (E/W) campsite?
Hi Vanitha,
A hookup campsite means that there is electric and water available to ‘hookup’ to an RV or trailer. You can tent camp in that site as well.
Do you have any photos of the group sites?
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately we didn’t get photos of the group campsites but I’ll put those on the ‘to get’ list. Sorry about that.
Do you know if you need to be over 18 to enter the beach and to camp there?
Hi Manuel,
At least one person occupying the campsite needs to be 18 years old at San Luis Creek Campground / San Luis Reservoir SRA.
