Really nice place for a 100 hamburger when the fog stays away. Hats off to the folks at Empirical Systems who have sponsored a little hut that contains bikes and helmets. We used the bikes to ride the short distance to the beach (3 blocks) and get a little lunch. Dune buggies, sand rails and 4X4s enter the dunes from this location. Makes for a Great Day! New Burger Joint (didn’t try) just opened.

My daughter and I flew in on Saturday 12/3 for the annual "Toys for Tots" event. It was GREAT! Airport facilities, campground and pilots lounge were very good. The people at the event were fantastic! We really enjoyed riding the bikes to the beach. A GREAT time and a GREAT airport. We will return with our camping gear for a longer stay. Going to places like Oceano is why we fly!

This airport is a treasure. There's a campground on-site, avgas is always the cheapest you'll find anywhere, they have free loaner bikes for pilots, and you're a few minutes' walk away from both the Oceano beach, a couple of hotels, and a number of restaurants. Stopped by on 12-4 for some cheap avgas, a beach stroll, and lunch at the Rock N' Roll Diner (a must-visit. It's in a train car.)

Excellent, well maintained airport - the attention really shows. Bicycles are a fantastic addition - we rode to the beach and out to the Monarch Butterfly Grove. Nice little pilot's lounge, clean bathrooms, and cheap fuel. Perfect!

Family and I used the bikes a couple weeks ago to ride to a really cool diner next to the train station. Awesome to have these wheels available! Yet another reason to fly to this little gem!

Oceano is a really good place to stay for the day or even for an overnight. We used the bikes that are available on a donation basis to go to the restaurant and the beach. It was so nice! The airport is small, but really pretty. The fuel station has reasonable prices. There is a campground at 100 yards from the airport. Beautiful sand dunes. We are currently 2 foreign pilots visiting Western USA, and I can easily say that it is our best spot among the 42 airfields that we visited!

SkyDive Pismo Beach was launching jumpers. Bi-plane rides were going. The bathrooms were clean. Pleasant pilot's lounge with fridge and microwave. The Fly and Ride is a great addition. It was fun to have a bike to borrow. It would be nice to have an ASOS. Fuel was price as stated. All in all A+

This gem of a beach airport just gets better! Bicycles are now available for fly-in pilots. Bikes are located in front of the pilot lounge and are on a first come basis. What a great feature to help make your way around the beach cities. Thank you Friends of Oceano Airport for this.

I flew in for Fly-In Movie Night on April 30th. The pilot's lounge was clean, and fridge stocked [donation basis]. JR was flying the Stearman, SkyDive Pismo Beach was launching jumpers. Fuel was a good price [at least good for these times]. Bathrooms were clean, campground was a blast. Firepits with s'mores and a fun movie.

Flying to this airport is a very pleasant experience. No hassle, and easy in, easy out. The restrooms are spotless. There is so much to see and do within walking experience, including the beach.

Fun airport - great, convenient location. Nice bathrooms. Concur with the comments about the runway - watch out for power lines and trees on final to 29.

The Friends of Oceano Airport have spruced up the campground, the bathrooms are well stocked, and the pilot’s lounge now has a fridge, microwave, water, pop and coffee. Toys for Tots event on December 4th will begin at 10:00, there will be a $.25 per gallon discount on fuel. BBQ: $15 all-inclusive. Bring a new unwrapped toy and make a child's holiday nicer. The Oceano airport looks happy, welcoming and friendly now!

Flew into Oceano for some Air Camping. Campground was well groomed, with nice tent spots and picnic tables. The showers are located at the county campground next door. The county took this campground over a few years ago & every migrant farmworker and homeless person in the county now uses the bathrooms and showers. Absolutely disgusting! County leaves airport bathrooms open at night for campers use. Great beaches...No grocery stores within walking distance...No FBO or attendants. Juans Cantina excellent and Rock & Roll Cafe average. Nothing else there. Beautiful beaches, but the services really aren’t there.

Read about the threat to the airport and noticed that the county and airport commission seemed to have abated the developer's efforts. Flew in twice for fuel and food and found the airport to be a wonderful place with convenient ramp and self-serve fuel. Bit confusing to read the posted noise abatement procedure: do not over fly homes west of the field, no turns before the shoreline. Since the runway is almost due west and there are homes along the shoreline, where is the problem area?

Came in the other day for fuel. Price was as stated here on AirNav. Saw a poster that there is some threat to Oceano by a developer. So?? On a good note, looks like there is an airport day scheduled for May 8th. I will be there...Fun fun.

We've been to lots of airports (most recently San Diego to Bar Harbor to Orlando home to SBA in five weeks), and this is our favorite airport to visit so far. Italian restaurant (Mama's?) has really good food. The day I passed PPL a few years ago, we flew in and camped on the field. One thing, VFR pilots need to keep one eye on the sky because some times of the year low cloud can blow in off the water in half an hour. Since you can have lots of fun within a five minute stroll it's no problem if you stay alert. When present it tends to hang just over the field, so you can often sneak out toward the mountains and be in the clear with a normal climb. They have two webcams you can check before heading there, and the clouds haven't been a problem for us now that we know to be vigilant.

One of my favorite destinations. Walk to the beach, walk to great restaurants. Camping. Friendly people. There's also an excellent nature walk through the nearby marshes. I like to fly down along the coast and show Hearst Castle to my passengers. This is an *excellent* place to take a date.
