Are pets allowed?

While the state park itself does allow pets at campsites, we respectfully ask you to leave your pets at home while group camping with CHN. We have had problems in the past with child-pet interactions during campouts.

I am bringing a child from another family that doesn't belong to CHN. What price do I pay for him/her?

If you are a CHN member, you may pay the CHN member price for children from other families.

What kind of RVs are allowed?

RVs or trailers must be a maximum of 40 feet in length. Partial hook ups are available at the group sites.

May older teens camp on their own?

We will consider this type of request on a case-by-case basis. Please contact camping@californiahomeschool.net.

On July 24th, check-in time is 2 pm. If you come after Wednesday, you may check-in anytime. On July 28th, we must all be out of the campsite by 12 pm.

Where is San Simeon?

San Simeon State Park is located 35 miles north of San Luis Obispo on Highway 1, and 5 miles south of the Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument Visitor Center. The community of Cambria is located 2 miles to the South.

Does CHN make a profit on camping?

We try to design the prices to be as low as possible, and our goal is to break even on camping. If the campout doesn’t sell out, we often lose money.

Be sure to read our liability waiver below and check-out CHN’s camping policies.
