Reach People While They Are Still Planning the Trip.
CCWheelers has covered Oceano Dunes for close to twenty years. The people reading it are deciding where to camp, what to rent, where to eat, and who to call when something breaks. That decision happens here, before they ever hit the sand.
Intent, Not Impressions
This is not a general interest audience. Nobody lands on a creek status page or a tide chart by accident. They are coming because they have a trip booked or are about to book one, and that is the moment your business is worth the most to them.
Oceano, Grover Beach, Pismo, Arroyo Grande
Built for the businesses riders actually need: ATV and UTV rentals, RV parks, hotels and motels, repair and towing, gear shops, and the places people eat when they come off the sand. Prices below are per month, and every plan can be cancelled with 30 days notice.
Live Conditions Sponsor
Your name sits directly under the Live Conditions console on the homepage, above the news. It is the first thing people look at when they land here, because checking the creek, the tides, and the ride window is why most of them came. There is exactly one of these, and when it is taken it is taken.
- "Live conditions sponsored by" plus your logo and one line, on the homepage
- Above the news band, not below it
- Everything in Section Sponsor as well, on the section of your choice
- You are the only advertiser anywhere near the console

Open inventory
Half price before Sept 30. $990 a year → $495 first year
- Enhanced listing on the category page that fits your business
- Logo, 40 word description, phone number, and directions link
- A link people actually clickGoogle requires paid links to be tagged so they do not pass ranking credit, and we follow that rule, because an unmarked paid link can get both of us penalized. What you get instead is better: real visitors arriving from a page they chose to read, and a quarterly count of exactly how many clicked through to you.
- Listed above every unpaid entry in your category
- We write the copy for you if you want

- Everything in Featured Partner
- Your name on one whole section: Camping, Rules, Weather, Tides, Map, or Gas PricesThe section header reads "Camping at Oceano Dunes, presented by your business" on every page inside it. See the mock-up further down this page.
- Your logo and one line in that section header, on every page of it
- Nobody else in that section. Not your competitors, not anyone
- First refusal on your section when the term is upWhen your term ends, we come back to you first and give you the chance to renew before we offer that section to anyone else. Only if you pass do we sell it to someone new.
Yelp charges around $270 a month for an enhanced profile, then bills you $2 to $10 again every time somebody clicks it. Google Ads works the same way, so a busy Saturday costs you more than a slow Tuesday, and a bad month can cost you more than a good one.
We do not do that. You pay one flat monthly rate. If ten thousand people click through to your business, you pay exactly what you would have paid if nobody did. No per-click charge, no bidding against your competitors, no bill that moves around on you.
- No per-click fees. Ever, at any tier
- No setup or design fee. Send a logo and a phone number, we build the placement
- No auto-renew trap. Monthly plans cancel with 30 days notice
- No bidding. Your price does not rise because a competitor turned up

What Your Money Actually Buys
Rate cards are easy to write and hard to picture. So here is every placement drawn exactly as it would appear on the site, using businesses that do not exist. Any resemblance to a real shop is a coincidence, although we would happily sign all four of them.
Sandy Bottoms RV Park
Full hookups, hot showers, and neighbors who go to bed early
Whiskey Throttle Rentals
Quads, side by sides, and youth machines delivered to the Pier Avenue entrance. Helmets, flags, and paddle tires on every rental. We also rent to people who told their wife they have done this before.
Some Other Rental Place
No logo. No photo. No description. No link. Just a name on a list, doing absolutely nothing.
Also A Rental Place
Same again. We are sure they are lovely people.
sits here
Stuck Happens Towing & Recovery
We have pulled every kind of rig out of every kind of hole, and we have never once said "told you so" out loud. Mobile service to the campground, parts, repair, and absolutely no judgment.
Sandy Bottoms RV Park
A Tier One partner. Above the free listings, below the featured slot. Their logo is showing, which is the entire point.
Yet Another Rental Place
Still just a name. Still doing nothing.
What We Will and Will Not Do
- No pop-ups, no full-screen ads, no video that plays on its own. Nothing that covers the page or blocks what a visitor came to read. The site is useful because it is fast and clean. We are not trading that for ad revenue.
- Everything is labeled. Sponsored placements say so. Our safety, rules, and emergency information is never for sale, at any price.
- You keep your creative simple. Send a logo and a phone number. We handle layout so it matches the site and loads fast.
- 30 days notice to cancel on monthly plans. If you sell or close the business, we refund the months you have not used.
- The rate is the whole bill. No per-click charges, no setup fee, no design fee, and no bidding against anyone. What is on the card is what you pay.
- We will turn business away. If a placement would mislead a visitor about park rules or safety, we will say no and explain why.
- Rates are reviewed once a year. Founding partners are exempt for the length of their lock.
Let's Talk About Your Season
Tell us what you run and who you want to reach. We will send current traffic numbers, show you exactly where your placement would sit, and quote you honestly. No agency, no deck, no runaround. We answer every one of these ourselves, usually the same day.
