What routes are people taking to the campground from So. Cal? I was thinking of taking the 405 to the 5 or maybe the 101 up?

We're taking the 57 to the 210 to the 5

Depends on what your needs are. the 5 will be the quickest way, but boring and hot ;)
The 101 is scenic & cooler, but of course slower. Are you driving straight through or are you breaking up the drive into two days :o
A stop at flying flags along the way would be a good stop over for you and you could just go into the grass area and not even un-hitch :rolleyes:

we are going up the 101 and staying in a no tell motel in arroyo grande on fri night.  as for getting to the 101 we usually take the 405, although I hate the traffic.  IF anyone knows of a quicker way let me know.

leave at 4 am;)  I'm taking the 101..stopping at flying flags the first night the kids have been wanting to go. just parking in their tent area and not unhitching. on the way back I thought of taking the 5 cause it's faster but I'm just thinking how HOT it wil be when we stop...remember Yosemite. my sister will be with me for the drive back

Hey Dieter
How come you are not staying at the Avila Hot spring resort You had asked about it awhile ago. It would be an OK place for a one night-er and your kids can swim in the pool and you can sleep in your own bed.
As for the 101. I have been using the 126 instead of the 101 when the traffic is heavy. The 126 is such an easy drive compared to the heavy congested 101.

I think it was $$$ if I remember right.  Plus we don't want to pop up and take down, just sleep and go.... I will look into the 126 no idea what time we are leaving yet...

Brad or Mary,
What are the sites like at this place?   Looks like a fun place with that pool....
Maybe a future camp out??

No Way
this place is right next to the 101 and a big dirt RV lot and no trees. Like I said its OK for one night, but not for a rally
