Welcome to San Luis Obispo County Parks!

Our goal is to offer you the most enjoyable and rewarding recreational experience possible on California’s Central Coast. We manage a wide range of facilities including trails, golf courses, campgrounds, pools, picnic sites and more. Our Mission is to ensure diverse opportunities for recreation and the personal enrichment of the County’s residents and visitors while protecting its natural, cultural, and historical resources. To put it more simply, we invite you to visit SLO County Parks, have fun, and “Think Outside!”

ATTENTION BOATERS

Starting November 1, 2024, SLO County Parks will no longer accept clear tags from other lakes due to the risk of Quagga and Zebra Mussel infestations. Lopez Lake and Santa Margarita Lake will also no longer honor each other’s clear tags. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is crucial to prevent mussel infestations. For more information, please contact the following office(s):

Lopez Lake (805) 788-2386

Important Announcement: Transition to New Reservation Software


We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of our new reservation software for County Parks! This new system is designed to enhance the customer experience by offering a more seamless and user-friendly online reservation process.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ To ensure a smooth transition, our current reservation system will be temporarily unavailable from 03/24/25 to 03/31/25. During this time, we will not be able to process any reservations, cancellations, or changes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Although reservations cannot be made or modified during this period, we encourage you to take the opportunity to explore the new system. You can create an account and get familiar with the updated platform ahead of the official launch scheduled for April 1, 2024. The link for the new platform will be available March 24, 2025.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to enhance your County Parks experience!
