"This is a resort style park with all the amenities. We used both pools and spas daily even in December. Sites are gravel with concrete pads. All have fireplaces and seemed appropriately level."
"We have stayed there 4 times, in all seasons actually. A nice glamping spot, clean and well organized. With pool and other amenities, it is great for kids and without kids."
$73 - $234 / night
"For an expensive (to us) place with lots of amenities and lots of rules, it still had a really peaceful, calm, and friendly vibe."
"Very well kept and clean. Shower area is very nice. Need a key code to go anywhere. Great amenities. Beautiful pool. An outdoor bar, but only open certain months. Nice group camping area."
"Great staff, great long term campers, great amenities! Will definitely go back for another visit!"
"Lots of permanent campers or long term folks. They had horseback riding and a small playground. We came in late and it was hard to find our map and site reservations."

"California, Morro Dunes RV Park
Located right on the beach and ocean near Morro Rock. Within walking distance from Downtown Morro Bay.
Directions: From highway 1 exit at E. G."
"Best part about the RV park is its location, right next to the dunes! The RV park is clean and well maintained. Sites are spaced close together but no major issues with noisy neighbors."
"This is a pricey rv park, but great location and very busy. It is competitive with the others around and think it was the best one in the area."
"At first we were unhappy seeing we had a site close to the outside road (189), but quickly changed our minds."
$5 - $25 / night

"We popped over here after peeking around next door and it seemed like a hidden gold mine!"

"There is a shower/laundry house down the hill at the entrance to the Port. The best spot is on the point, but the spot is usually taken by regulars and full timers."
"Love this place - the views are unbeatable, rv spots are spacious with many being parallel to the beach."
ScoutWe have visited this place at least 3 times . It is a dog friendly camp sight with pull through campsites. The cost of the pull through is 25 $. They have 30 amp/50amp available. They also have overflow camping available for 5 $. Please beware that overflow is I. The grass area and does not have hookups. You can tent camp in those. If you do park your rv in the overflow there is a dump site for those. They have clean facilities on site, bathrooms with hot showers. You can bike, walk the base. The area is kept very clean and at night there is no noise. At 10 camp goes silent. They have a table and brick fire pit at each pull through. Bring you own firewood. This is a military base so don’t forget your military Id or civil service Id. There is a small commissary (store) near the campground, but hours vary.
We go here with our kids and love it as it’s clean secure and close to (15min) to the beach.
Note reservation maximum 30 days ahead.
ScoutThis 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.
LegendCalifornia, Morro Dunes RV Park
Located right on the beach and ocean near Morro Rock. Within walking distance from Downtown Morro Bay.
Directions: From highway 1 exit at E. G. Lewis Highway(41) and go west toward the beach. The campground will be on the left in less than one mile.
Please see the Campbase map tab for the exact location.
Comment Morro Dunes RV Park is open all year with 170 RV and tent sites available. What a fun place to stay in Morro Bay. It's the best campground in Morro Bay if you want to be right on the beach and close to all the activity of the beach, marina, bay, and downtown area. You can park the car and walk or bike everywhere. The campground is the closest camp spot to Morro Rock. There is a lot of "fun factor" at this campground.
Make reservations early for this campground. It's usually booked solid all summer. If you are unable to obtain a camp site, at the bottom of this page are other near bye campgrounds.
The campground has paved camp roads with level crushed rock parking pads. Picnic tables and fire rings are also available. Shade spots are limited.
There is HorsebackIng in the dunes in front of the campground. There is also a dirt area for parking and unloading horses.
Cell phone service in the area is excellent.
ScoutWe just returned from a stay at Pismo Coast RV Resort, and unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. Check-in was fast and easy, and on our first full day, the weather was perfect. The kids enjoyed the pool and arcade, which was a great start. However, several advertised amenities were either missing or in poor condition. We went looking for the mini golf course that’s promoted on their website, only to find it completely ripped out and blocked off— very disappointing since it was one of the reasons, we booked this resort. We also searched for the ping pong tables, which appear to have been left outside and are badly warped and unusable. Another letdown. The basketball and tennis are combined into one court, so only one activity can be played at a time, and we never did find the horseshoe area. Our group included eight people and two travel trailers. We had told the kids all about the resort's amenities, which played a big part in our decision to book. It was disheartening to find that many of the features we looked forward to simply weren’t available. Dinner at the on-site restaurant was equally frustrating. Service was extremely slow, and there weren’t enough umbrellas to provide shade— we ended up sitting with the sun in our faces. One of our guests wasn’t even asked for their drink order before the server walked away. When we finished eating, it took over 25 minutes just to get our bill, despite the restaurant being nearly empty(maybe 4 tables outside, 2 inside). We felt completely ignored. The first night was peaceful, as it should be. But the following day, large RVs surrounded us and parked so close they encroached on the grass behind our spot. Some opened their toy haulers, making it feel like we had no privacy— just 5 feet from their setup. That night was extremely loud until 11:30 PM, even though quiet hours start at 10 PM. With on-site security, we expected better enforcement. It wasn’t just one or two campsites being loud— it was several, with shouting and laughter like it was a private party. If you’re looking for a quiet, family-friendly place where you can count on the advertised amenities, this is not it. We had high hopes that this would become an annual trip, but based on this experience, we won’t be returning. Really disappointed.
GuideThis is a pricey rv park, but great location and very busy. It is competitive with the others around and think it was the best one in the area. There are over 400 sites and so you are very, very close to your neighbor and tight parking at your rv, but the grounds are kept very nice and there are lots of things to do at the RV park.
Direct access to the beach and can stroll the beach all the way to downtown. Also walkable to state park with walking trails by the water.
Wifi worked excellent and had good AT&T cell service so easy to work remote here. Laundry on site and pricey, but machines worked well and very clean facilities with plenty of washers and dryers.$2.75/wash,$1.75/dry
Close to San Luis Obispo. Awesome food at Oasis Mediterranean, the Honeymoon Cafe and Talay Thai!
Scout“Luxury RV Sites” not so much I’m not sure why they claim luxury.
It’s just cement pads on top of each other so no one has any privacy from their neighbors. Definitely not worth the$1600 a month to stay here. You would think for$1600 there would be more and better options offered.
It is a very clean campground, I will give them that. It says it includes a picnic table at the back in sites and we were there for 3 months and never saw 1 picnic table.
We are dog friendly people, we did not travel with our dogs, the campground is full of dogs which is great, our daughter loved it. Except there was constant barking from all over the campground. My neighbors dogs barked multiple times a day and multiple times at night, constantly waking us all up in the middle of the night and my daughter during her nap midday.
They do not enforce their own quiet hour rule. Like I said dogs were constantly barking, people playing loud music, loud diesel pickups and playing loud music driving throughout the campground.
They offer a great pool area, one bigger pool but it’s always in the shade because of the big solar panels they built. And one smaller pool in full sun which is nice. But it doesn’t matter because the water is so cold there’s no way we would ever try to take our toddlers swimming in those pools. There’s also a large jacuzzi in the shade.
It is a family friendly campground unless you have kids that nap during the day. It is very noisy. Not to mention it is located right along the freeway so you’re constantly hearing the roaring vehicle and truck sounds from that.
They had some tiny homes lining the outside of the campground that they were removing, I’m assuming to make more room for RVs. Which is great Monday-Friday. Then they were removing them Saturday and Sunday as well. Sunday is my husbands only day off and the only full day we get to spend together as a family. And we got to spend our beautiful Sunday sitting outside with our toddler playing and grilling, while listening to the banging and hammering and the loud trucks taking out the tiny homes on a SUNDAY.
They do have an awesome building by the pool that offers use of a play/game room, kitchen, grills, and dining room. Which is great but it’s constantly filled with people who are not staying in the campground on the weekends, so the people that are staying there and paying for the amenities can’t use it on the weekends.
Like I said, definitely not worth the$1600 monthly fees for long term living. If you’re here for just a night or two might not be that big of a deal. When we first got here we were told it would be$1400 monthly payments and not even a month in we get a call that they are raising the rates to$1600. Quite a joke of a“RV Resort”.
GuideBeautiful site right in the heart of Morro Bay. The campground is wooded with plenty of shade and approx 2 hundred feet from the water. It's also possible to walk into town from here. There is a small cafe across the road in the marina and from here there is a board walk that goes across the "wetlands" which floods at high tide, lots of birds here too. The pull through sites have a picnic table a fire pit and a high (36") BBQ setup. Would come back here.
ScoutGreat spot to post up if you want to spend some time in SLO. The sites on the dry loop (Bishop) have little privacy, but most are pull-through. The loops with services have much more tree coverage, but when I was there seemed to be mostly occupied by long term RVs.
I didn't use the showers, but they looked clean (take quarters, I believe) and the bathroom facilities were prime.
Yes, you can hear traffic on Highway 1 from here, but it's not bad at all and the views of Bishop Peak are splendid. Also saw a turkey wander by the first day.
GuideClose to many good activities... golfing, kayaking, walking around estuary, bay nature museum, bird watching, local restaurant... Can walk or bike about a mile to downtown Morro Bay and waterfront for shopping and ding options. Inexpensive shuttle available summer weekends. Fun to watch the sea otters typically between three stacks and the ROCK. State Park gets a lot of use with some older facilities... but most sites are close to level and asphalt paved. Restrooms and token activated showers are older but mostly clean and acceptable. People like campfires here. Some sites have shade but hit or miss... Some trees have died out over the years. Access road and adjacent harbor have level free parking if waiting for site to open up. $10 dump station can be used if camping at nearby state parks w/o dump station.
Morro Bay, California, offers a fantastic selection of RV camping options, perfect for those looking to enjoy the stunning coastal scenery and outdoor activities.
