Price to camp is $10.00 per night and it covers one vehicle and one legally towed vehicle.
Day use is $5.00 or you can buy a year pass for $50.00 that is good for all California SVRAs. Day use passes are good till 11pm.
Camp Area Info:
Once you are in the park, head South down the beach. The camp area will be right at pole #6.
The camp will be between the high tide line and the restrooms which are a couple hundred yards in towards the dunes. We should be the biggest group out there that weekend so we should be pretty easy to spot.
For those that have GPS here are the coordinates:

Some suggested items to bring for dune running and camping:Originally Posted by Bob_98SR5
Safety Information
[size=10pt]As always, call 911 first in case of dire health related or safety emergency.
If you have an incident requiring hospitalization, here is a map to the best emergency center in the area, according to my doctor friend who lives in Pismo Beach. The hospital is roughly 5 miles away, but very easy to get to:
Arroyo Grande Hospital
345 S. Halcyon Rd
Arroyo Grande, CA
805-473-7650[/size]
Save this as a PDF and print from your printer: http://www.4runners.org/image/pismo/HOSPITAL-PISMO.pdf I highly suggest if you are attending this event, print out a color copy (best) and put a copy in your glove box.
See you guys out there!
Bob
EDIT:
An alternative/quicker, but more twisty route from south entrance:
Head eastbound on Pier Ave
Right on Route 1 (Front St)
Left on Belridge St
Left on 13th St
Right on the Pike
Left on S. Halcyon Rd
Note: This route is not arrow routed nor visible on the PDF map.
Spare set of keys (sand can have a funny way of swallowing up important things)
Water for drinking, cleaning, etc... especially if you are camping
If tent camping, some kind of sand stakes or at least heavy items to leave in the corners of your tent.
Toilet Paper
Warm clothes (it can really cool off at night)
Wet weather gear (we'll keep an eye on the weather as it gets closer)
Small broom and dustpan for those tent camping (it won't take you long to figure out why you need it)
Shovel (helpfull for many things in the sand, in the camp and while out on the dunes)
Snatch strap (no metal hooks!)
CB or at least some of those little handheld family radios (we will run both)
Piece of plywood or other wood to put your jack on to keep it from sinking in the sand in the event you need to use it.
Fire Extinguisher
First Aid kit (we will have some out there, but it is always a great idea to have a small stocked one in your vehicle)
....more to come as I think of other things

Saturday:
8am- Early dune run for those that want a quick tour of the dunes
9:30 am- Group Vehicle and People Photo: we will try to line up in a single file; if too long, then we will do two rows. Also, we will do a group photo---yes, we should take pictures of ourselves!
10am- Some kind of group event to be determined (poker run, observation run, gps games, etc...)
12:30- Lunch
6pm.- Clam Chowder Bread Bowls from Splash Cafe!
7pm.- Raffle and "Can You Believe I Own This Shirt" contest
All you need for this contest is to bring your funniest, most embarrassing, shirt and wear it for the contest. The crowd will be the judges and the winner will receive an Utimate Yota t-shirt.
Sunday:
Pack up
Trail run for those that are interested. We will hit the Chevron Station to air up and fuel for those that need it. Hi Mtn. Rd. up to Hi Mtn. Lookout (2WD friendly), from there we will have a few options. For those with 4wd and not too concerned about brush scratches, they can do some of Garcia Ridge Trail, others can continue on Hi Mtn Rd. to Pozo (and then out to Hwy 101), or others could backtrack on Hi Mtn. Rd. to Hwy 101. (I will provide directions and I will post them here with GPS coord. so you can copy them yourself also).
*Jenn of JnJ has been nice enough to volunteer to come up with some activities for the kids. If you are bringing kids, please post up their ages so that Jenn can have a decent idea of the age groups and how many. Also, if you have any ideas let either me or Jenn know. Jenn, thanks again!*
