Question
Steve, we are looking for a place my parents, brother and my family can all camp together. I have a boat and thats my families thing, my little brother likes his dirt bike, is there anywhere for him to ride at the park? I know I can bring the boat and we have RV'S, let me know when you get a chance. We used to live in Santa Maria and look forward to going "home" for a weekend.

Thank you,
Dan Boone

Answer
Thought I answered this one last week.

Your best bet is to stay at Lopez Lake where you can use the boats, and your brother can take the dirt bike down the road a few miles to Oceano Dunes. Riding around state and county campgrounds is forbidden, and, depending on the ranger, could get you a very nasty ticket. The dunes are one of the few waterfront places for off roaders, so enjoy!

No relocation/moving questions, please.

I have lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm a "local", with expert knowledge of Southern California. I've done a lot of extensive traveling to NorCal, so I can provide answers about northern California as a visitor, and southern California as a local.
