Traveling to Lompoc by RV

Getting to Lompoc with an motorhome is pretty straightforward via Highway 101, which handles all size rigs without clearance issues. Take Exit 140 for Highway 1/Lompoc and follow the signs into town. The exit ramp and subsequent roads can accommodate large motorhomes and long trailer combinations, though you'll want to stick to the main routes rather than cutting through residential neighborhoods.

Highway 246 runs east-west through Lompoc, connecting to Highway 101 on the east side and reaching the coast at Surf Beach to the west. This route works fine for RVs, but be aware that the coastal section can get windy, especially in the afternoons. If you're planning to visit Jalama Beach County Park, the final stretch of Jalama Road is narrow and winding -- not recommended for rigs over 35 feet.

Overnight parking options are limited in Lompoc itself. The local Walmart on North H Street doesn't allow overnight parking, so you'll need to plan on staying at one of the area motorhome parks or head to nearby Pismo Beach for more overnight options. There's a rest area on Highway 101 about 20 miles south near Gaviota, but it doesn't have dump facilities. Most RVers use Lompoc as a day stop for dumping and supplies rather than an overnight destination.
