Morro Bay State Park Campground

I did not camp here but did take a drive through. The campsites are tiny and offer little to no privacy. While the location itself deserves five stars, camping in what essentially amounts to a grassy parking lot prevents this campground from earning a five-star rating.

We were visiting Morro Bay for several days before Thanksgiving and hiked up to Black Hills lookout from the lower trailhead. We went through Morro Bay State Park Campground which was spacious.

Would never camp here again. The bathrooms are fine, they have showers and restrooms and washing up stations. The whole camp ground is dirt/ dirty loose sand. There is no separation between camp sites, no privacy what so ever, no nature, just dirty. There is no quiet hours, the place was a party all night long. All our neighbors had like 4-6 tents per site, cars were everywhere. There was loud music and just yelling and parting. Nothing wrong with having a good time but midnight at a family camp ground with crazy music is a bit much. Car alarms were going off. We’re packed in so tight I couldn’t sleep cuz of the dude at the next camp site snoring. It was just not peaceful or relaxing experience. I would not be back here again. Possibly the worst night of camping I’ve ever had

Nice campground , FAIRLY flat RV pads , nice fire rings, most have masonry BBQ pits, mostly quiet at night, at least the nights we were there. Walking distance to the south marina which is more of a sanctuary. There is a great little restaurant in the harbor. Dog friendly. Lots of sooty type dirt around the campground, but we put a rug out that pretty much kept us from tracking the soil into the RV. There are very few full hook-up site, but there is a dump station. Fill your water tanks elsewhere, as there was no portable water available for filling.

This is a very popular campground. The campsites are nice. And there's good access to the beach and harbor. The restrooms are clean and have showers as well.
