We looked for a beach not overly populated but clean and easy to camp. Lovely hookups if you need them and tent sites beach side are mostly protected from the winds. Cooler time of year but we knew that coming in. Would love to visit again in warmer months!

Great location for Morro Bay. When there are 4th of July fireworks (hopefully we have these again some day) you can walk across the street and see the fireworks and Morro Rock in the background. There is also a great little museum in the same place. You can also walk to rent a canoe to paddle around the bay.

Love being at the coast and close to the water. This campground is right next to the local golf course known as the “poor man’s Pebble Beach” which sits adjacent to Morro Bay. However, it is more of a trailer and RV park based on the setup of the main campground. There is a more isolated tent-only area, but it is significantly smaller than the main area. While we enjoyed being in this serene coastal town, the campground was busier than we would like and we probably will visit other nearby campgrounds that are more spread out.

Super clean and great location, but docked a star because of the price. After fees when booking, it comes out to about $42.00 a night. 

Showers and bathrooms are spread out nicely. We tent camped and the noise wasnt bad at all. Though there was some mystery animal howling/screeching through out the night haha. Super close to the water. Kayak rentals an restaurant down by the dock and a great place to load kayaks into the water! Will definitely be back. Just make sure you book in advance! Fills up fast.

This campsite was great, the site was large, clean and nice. It’s close to everything! You can walk next door to golf, walk across the street to the beach and to dine at Bayside Cafe. Site seeing, hiking and biking trails, and shopping and restaurants are just a short drive away. The sunsets are incredible from just about anywhere in the bay.

Be prepared for the sand/dirt, make sure to bring a rug or mat to wipe your feet.

It was really fun, it was a bit windy that day, but it’s definitely worth going to that big rock in morrow bay it looks like it’s from far away, and the fishing town there has great sea salt taffy

Excellent

Close to bay. A few hook up sites but you need to reserve months ahead . Also reservation site not clear on hook ups. Water at site. Big trees. Shuttle to go to town $1. Warning. Signs posted about thieves/ Make sure you put everything away or lock it up good. Fairly level.

Spent 3 nights there. Restrooms and showers were very clean. Sites a bit close together, but everyone was super nice and friendly. Camp host was awesome.

Close to the city of Morro Bay and to beaches. Sites are a little close together but overall not too bad.

This event park is right on the beach. People are friendly. Ez check in and out. The town is a short walk or bike ride away. The sites are beautiful. Best vacation in a very long time. There is whale watching a great pub on the water and just a ton of stuff to do!

Morro bay is one of my favorite spots. This campground is always perfect. The staff is great. Always clean. Close to everything.

This was a very nice campground with over a hundred sites for all types of campers. Rv's tents, hike and bike campers ect. Parking is easy in most sites. If you have read my other reviews, I am all about the bathrooms! These were maintained well with flush toilets and token operated showers.

They have unexpected amenities like an observatory, which was my favorite part of the trip, besides seeing the seals and otters all over the bay! Each site has fire rings and picnic tables and there is wood for sale on site. There is a store that has everything you need.

Boat launch and golf course, there really is something to do for everyone. Still pretty expensive in my opinion, but this is so worth it, with all the other stuff there is to do.

This campground is nice any time of year- Including December! During the summer it will be packed, but during the off-season, the place is all yours- and almost perfection.

Lots of trees, grass, some bigger spots than others. Short Walking distance to the Bay and boat dock with kayaks/canoes, etc, plus a restaurant.

This is a well established California state park campground, just a mile or so from the small coastal town of Morro Bay. There are 30 water/electric hookup sites (all fhu sites are pull-through), about 100 dry sites of various sizes, and a dump station and clean-water-fill. There are park aides in the kiosk from 8am. to about 9:00pm in summer, and 9am to 5pm in winter, and always a camp host on duty To report problems to, or to buy firewood from. It's one of the busiest parks in the state park system, and it's a good idea to get reservations if possible. Bathrooms/token showers are very aged and function unreliably. Lots of big trees for shade in many areas, and a nice estuary boardwalk close by for a stroll.

Unlike many state campgrounds you find near the highway or railroad tracks, this one is located a nice distance from the road.  Still, it is within walking distance to a small marina and restaurant. The quaint town of Morro Bay is nearby for fine dining and shopping.  The campground offers services you typically find at state campsites. The hike and bike camping area was $5 and situated in tall trees.

This Is a fantastic site that has not only the fun of camping and being outdoors, but it is conveniently located walking or biking distance from the town. There are plenty of restaurants, attractions, and activities in close proximity to the site. the Morrow Bay Aquarium behind the giftshoo on the main drive of Morrow Bay is a really fun side trip.

I love this campground. It is one of my favorite sites on the California coast. The campground is always clean and quiet. You can hike up the mountain to get a great view of the coast, Morro Rock and Morro bay. You are a short walk down to the bay where you can rent kayaks or canoes to go out into the bay or onto the sand spit.

Morro Bay is the most adorable beach town just above San Louis Obispo, west of the 101 freeway. It’s worth making the short trek there! There is surfing, kayaking, fishing, and tons of activities to do while you camp out. Only downside is it gets a bit windy sometimes. Be prepared to bring some warmer clothing and enjoy this perfect little town. There are tons of shops, restaurants, and great bars to visit when you hit up the town to get away from camping.

rv camped in May. no reservation.

Across the road from beaches and hiking trails. our base camp for central coast activities. sooo many trees. We did not have many neighbors midweek.

camp host was friendly and informative.

took a nice hiking trail at the back of the campground for awesome views!

We love MBSP, and enjoy taking our trailer. Either the hookup sites or those without are great, but if you have dogs aware that the grounds are covered almost entirely with foxtail grasses.

The Morro Bay State park offers a scenic coastal campground nestled in tall eucalyptus trees just a stones throw from the water. There is plenty to see and do in town, and the campground has a kayaking company within walking distance. There's also a natural history museum across the street.

This campground is clean, and quiet with showers and flushable toilets. It's accessible with car, bike, or rv spots. They also offer a senior discount, but it's very affordable.

This campground is a great base camp for coastal exploring; either north to Cayucos, or south to San Luis Obispo and Pismo.

This is a huge (over 125 sites) and very popular campground. I strongly urge you to make reservations in advance as it was almost sold out on even a cool, overcast weekday. Most campsites are mixed use, with only a tiny handful tent only (and only 2 that are hike/bike in-I asked). Personally, I liked the farthest back loop because it was less crowded, kind of sheltered, and hand the least traffic. It’s also closest to the Monarch Butterfly Roosting area, tho I didn’t see any on my walk through. The back loop is also close to the only trailhead in the campground, the Black Hill Trail (I didn’t hike it, so I can’t tell if it was a good one or not). Across the road from the entrance is the Marina where you can rent a slip for your boat or rent a kayak for the day. Just up the road thru town is the big draw: Morro Rock. I had a great time hanging out watching the sea otters in the calm waters on one side of the rock and the surfers on the other side. Lots of beach walkers too.

Great location and nice walking trails! on site seafood restaurant by the water and a golf course.

I liked this park a lot because it was so clean. It was a bit hard to find it though. I had to cut through a golf course to get there and luckily no one said anything to me. And I only found out later that I wasn't supposed to do that haha. oh well. It was nice and big. Clean. But the shower was expensive, just like any other campsites in California. I liked how they had a designated spot for only bikers. It was nice to meet other bike travelers. We went out for pizza and had a really memorable night.

We met a group here and camped at a couple of adjacent sites. It is a premium location very close to the Pacific Ocean, and you can walk to a little store and very casual restaurant on the water. You can also rent canoes and kayaks to paddle out to the isthmus which is comprised of dunes. On the day we tried that, it was very windy, and some of the kayaks and canoes had to be rescued, so we decided to turn around and didn't make it all the way to the island. Nonetheless, it was great to be out on the ocean, and the scenery is otherworldly. The town nearby is very cute with lots of touristy things, but with a laid-back atmosphere. One can also venture further in to San Luis Obispo, which is a fun college town.

The campground was unremarkable, but close to the water and the town of Morro Bay, and it was just what we needed for a quick stop-over while traveling.
