Flying Flags RV Resort

Much more than a campground. More like a destination resort for campers. Sure, you have tons of wineries to visit including several within walking distance, and you have Solvang down the road.

At the camp you have tons of RV sites, cabins, and tents for rent. I did not see any sites though that allow you to pop your own tent. Also, many sites have trees though the premium paved sites don’t. The best sites imho are the xl.

Pools and hot tubs. Pizza restaurant and lounge. Live music on weekends.

Playground and 1/2 soccer field.

Great wifi and very clean overall.

In other words, tons to do without leaving the campground. If you want peace and quiet, this definitely aint it though they do appear to enforce quiet hours after 10 pm.

BIKES WILL GET STOLEN!!! Even if they're chained up!!! Do not stay here if you own bikes which pretty much every camper bring a bike or two. We were only here 2 nights and on the 2nd night our bikes were stolen from our campsite. Cannondale Trail 8 and a REI Co-Op DRT Mountain Bikes GONE and we heard nothing!! These are professional criminals and they know exactly what they're doing. Not only were our bikes stolen but our camp neighbor a few sites from us had his bike stolen the night before and another camper had his bike stolen 2 nights prior to ours being stolen. THIS IS A PROBLEM!! This place is to expensive to have criminals come into the campground stealing bikes and per the office bikes get stolen even when chained up. They have no security. There are multiple ways to go in and out of the campground on foot. For $100 a night I expect more security but the office doesn't care because they're selling campsites. They have tons of staff during the day but pretty much zero staff at night. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO FLYING FLAGS EVER AGAIN!

$200 for the site plus $1250 for stolen bikes equals one expensive camping trip! NEVER AGAIN FLYING FLAGS NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Advice for the office:
Tell people there's an issue with bikes being stolen. It takes nothing to warn people. If you warn people they'll take extra precaution and the bike thieves will stop stealing bikes!!

PS...We didn't even get the enjoy the restaurants on the campground because they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and we stayed from Monday to Wednesday.

Yep, we are “Pandemic RV People” and just took our first shakedown trip in our 33’ Cougar TT. Flying Flags is just down the road from us so it was a perfect intro to the RV life. It’s important to note I made and cancelled reservations FIVE times as we waited for our TT to be ready, and the nice folks at FF never batted an eye. Great and welcoming customer service!

The good:
Huge variety of sites, different sizes, sun/shade, pull through and back in, gravel and concrete. Different price ranges and amenities so a little something for everyone. Full hookups in great condition. Sites are close together so love thy neighbor 😁
Spotlessly clean, inside and out. Excellent COVID precautions, including efficient curbside check in. Easy to drive through the park with virtually any size rig.
Location is amazing, close to Highway 101 so some road noise but nothing earth shattering. Restaurants, coffee, huge markets, small markets, beer breweries, and LOTS of wineries within easy drive or even bike distance. Biking here on the roads is great,and mountain biking is nearby.
Beautiful pool area (open) and hot tub (closed) lots of seating, open green areas for kids to play ball.
Kids - and lots of them, on every possible mode of kid transport like bikes, e-scooters, etc. so be careful driving. Very family and pet friendly. We don’t have little kids anymore so if you’re looking to avoid herds of kids, maybe travel during the week during the school year. It was fun to watch them having fun!
Quiet hours were nicely observed by most campers, which was great since the park was FULL.

The SERVICE was great. Opening night I got a text from staff to make sure all was OK. Then following afternoon, another. For this one I let them know the lid on the fire pit was missing a handle and they sent someone right away to fix it. I’m a stickler for great customer service and everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.

Dog park - was small and fully half of it was a hill, so that would be a “needs improvement” vote from us, especially given how many pups were there 🐶

NOTE: if you have non-rv friends or family, there are a variety of cabins and huts and safari tents and yurts available for rent. Very cool, done as “neighborhoods” with their own vibe, and scattered throughout the site. Also there is a Vintage Row of trailers that are available for rent to get the RV experience without the hassle.

This is a well thought out and very well maintained resort and we would absolutely stay again.
