Morro Strand State Beach

RV Park was great Full hookups or dry camping if you want to be closer to the sand, NO DOGS ALLOWED ON THE BEACH. Dogs on leash only in the RV park itself The only place you can go with a dog is about .5 mile hike north BUT if you do it's worth it! Sand dollars everywhere, offleash for miles. about $50 per night.

As others have said, this is clearly a converted parking lot. The spaces along the sides are just several former perpendicular parking spaces converted to one RV or tent space. Our site said it would take a 24 foot trailer, but our 17 foot Casita just barely fit perpendicular to the curb. A longer one would fit only if the rear end is hanging over the grass, or if you park parallel to the curb. Then you would have to park your vehicle elsewhere. The spaces in the middle assign you a spot on either side of the median strip, so you would park a trailer on one side and then put the tow vehicle on the other side and use the grass in between. The full hook up sites on the south east side look very nice, we may try to get them later. There is a nice bike trail leading all the way into downtown Morro Bay, and you can walk about a mile north through the neighborhood and climb down the Bluff to get access to the beach that goes from that point all the way to Cayucos and allows off-leash dogs. We will definitely be back. We’ve also stayed at the other campground at the south end of the city, which is also nice and more of a traditional campground.

This campground, while lacking in the luxurious glamping features that often make up a five star experience, more than makes up for it with an incredible peaceful, scenic, and friendly environment on the California Central Coast. We found a range of camping hookups: from tent sites to full water, sewer, and 30/50 amp service'd sites. The setting is beachside, below the bluff of a very, very quiet neighborhood. While conveniently located just two blocks off the Pacific Coast Highway, it's below-the-bluff location blocks the sound of traffic. This focus of quiet seems to extend to fellow campers, who for the most part seem to revel in relaxing and enjoying camping in the traditional fashion of respecting the setting. Groups of retirees, young adults, and gatherings of families all co-existed in relative harmony. The bathrooms are adequate (but no showers due to the long duration of the drought crisis). Surfing and other beachside activities abound and there's a bikepath that extends all the way to Morro Rock and the harbor. Very convenient. By the way, for TV addicts, there are several HD stations that came in quite well with just our trailer antenna.

We were staying at a very nice private park nearby, drove by to check out this beachfront primitive camping we had used decades before. FHU's as of 4/1/2015 I'm told. Immediately we checked ReserveAmerica for availability. Weekends, even in February, even Super Bowl weekend, were pretty tight, but we managed to get a full week (which we subsequently extended). This is the first Cal State Campground we have used since we moved to multi-slide rigs pulling a dinghy 15 years ago. We want FHU's with satellite TV clearance with campground etiquette rules enforced. About time California started putting some of my tax money into its parks! This place is gorgeous with back-in sites providing a panoramic view of the Pacific out of the front windshield of your motorhome. It is not sheltered from the heavy winds that do occur in the area. Perfect? Until the group showed up Sunday afternoon in the tent area blasting music as we left for dinner. Unbeknownst to me at the time was that the campground hosts & park rangers were on them immediately. Kudos to the state for this awesome upgrade & the park personnel for enforcing the identified rules.

Very nice state park – one of our favorites for the year! It used to be a parking lot so it's not fancy by any means; however, the park is right on the beach. We could see the ocean from our windows, some days better than others depending on if another RV was blocking the view. The site we were in was a back-in with full hookups. The full hookup sites are staggered which is a bonus for helping maintaining views of the ocean. These sites, however, are close together so there is no privacy. It was surprisingly very quiet. There is a small hillock behind the full hookups which helped buffer any road noise. The park was not crowded in December although it filled up more on the weekends. Be prepared for wind – it was windy just about every day. And I don't mean a light breeze :) The WII FI was really slow to the point of being useless. Great Verizon with 4g 4 bars. Directv satellite coverage was also perfect. There are two camp hosts that alternate time and all of them were very friendly and helpful.; There are several seafood markets downtown plus an avocado farm (yum!). Spencers is a local grocer that carries a surprisingly varied amount of products. There are also farmer's markets every week. We loved it here!

This is a great state park and our spot had full hookups! The location of the campground is just a few steps from the sand. The sunsets were amazing and the staff was great. It is about 10 minutes outside the heart of Morro Bay, which allows easy access if you need it and also makes you feel a bit more remote.

You'll be a few easy steps away from a beautiful sandy beach, no matter which site you choose. The beach is a rock hounds paradise, and the sand is perfect for building castles. At north end of beach, if tide isn't too high, you'll be able to explore tide pools (always use caution, the waves are unpredictable). Morro Bay Rock is on the horizon, glorious landscape. There is apparently a city bus that makes a route stop very near the park, so if you're interested in making a trip into Morro Bay without driving, you might want to check that out ... we didn't have the chance this trip. Camp sites are close together, but the 10pm quiet time seemed to be honored by all. During the day, most people are out and about ... so much to enjoy outdoors.

This is an old parking lot for beach access that the state of California turned into an "RV Park" but its still just a parking lot with a great beach, they have added some full hook up sites but most are dry camping and there are no amenities besides dirty bathrooms. Id go back for the beach but that's about it. I could see how this place in the summer could be a real busy/noisy place

The camp is clean and very well maintained. The majority of people staying here were in RV's. we had a couple of people staying in tents as well. The best site (if you are dry camping) are closest to the beach sand dunes since they offer the best protection from the wind and sun. this camp has flush toilets and cold water showers, however, any guest that is register here can drive 15 min south on Hgw 1 to Morro Bay State Park Campground and use their token-operated showers. another minor detail that none of the sites offer any privacy, it is basically a large parking lot with some open areas for staking the tents, wooden benches, and fire pits. no trees for shade so make sure you have awnings or portable shade available (EZ-Up), close proximity to residential area offers no feeling of camping in nature, however, access tt beach and sound of crashing waves supersedes any minor nuisances.

Besides this minor inconvenience, we still consider this one of our favorite beach camping spots.

This is a great spot by the beach, just a few miles north of Morro Bay. Not all sites have hook up, I stayed in a spot that didn’t. It is essentially a parking lot. You cannot fit rigs bigger than 24’ in the non hook up section, the hook up sites also will not easily accommodate really large rigs. Pricey at $35 for no hook up, I think full hook up is $50. You have to have reservations as they will not accept walk ups or adjustments due to Covid-19. Fairly quiet. I had good cell and WiFi here, albeit slow.
