I, Jerald Pettibone, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Pismo
    Coast Village, Inc.;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any
    untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
    material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
    of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
    not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
    report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
    financial information included in this report, fairly present
    in all material respects the financial condition, results of
    operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for,
    the periods presented in this report;

4.  The Company's other certifying officers and I are responsible
    for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
    procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
    15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
    defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for
    the Company and have:

    (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
         caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
         designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
         information relating to the Company, including its
         consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
         within those entities, particularly during the period in
         which this report is being prepared;

    (b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting,
         or caused such internal control over financial reporting
         to be designed under our supervision, to provide
         reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
         financial reporting and the preparation of financial
         statements for external purposes in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles;

                                    1

    (c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
         controls and procedures and presented in this report our
         conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
         controls and procedures, as of the end of the period
         covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

    (d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the Company's
         internal control over financial reporting that occurred
         during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has
         materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
         materially affect, the Company's internal control over
         financial reporting;

5.  The Company's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
    based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
    financial reporting, to the Company's auditors and the audit
    committee of the Company's board of directors (or persons
    performing the equivalent functions):

    (a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
         the design or operation of internal control over
         financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
         adversely affect the Company's ability to record,
         process, summarize and report financial information; and

    (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
         management or other employees who have a significant
         role in the Company's internal controls over financial
         reporting.
