I-Rally Description
Let's get together and relax at this cute KOA. Recreation on site includes mini golf. Nearby is the family-run Avila Valley Barn which is known for its pies and fresh produce. There are two trails from the park on which we can take a stroll, or, if we're energetic, walk to the Main Beach and pier. Pismo Beach is 5 miles away for award winning clam chowder and the Pismo Dunes.
This is intended to be a low-key rally with most activities at or near the RV park. However, Avila Beach is central to many wonderful attractions you may wish to visit including Hearst Castle, other beach towns, and wineries.
Please Note: Rally attendance will be limited to 10 coaches.
