Morro Bay State Park Comments & Reviews
Visted Morro Bay State Park Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Morro Bay State Park?
What is the fee for a 31 ft. travel trailer for 30 nights
CampsitePhotos.com is not associated with the campgrounds on our site. We provide the photos, some campground info and a link to make a reservation. You can stay up to 30 days, but you’ll need to check with ReserveCalifornia.com for availability and rates: (800) 444-PARK (7275).
We are staying at Islay Creek Campground in a few days. Is it possible to use the Morro Bay state beach campground overflow parking for some of our vehicles?
Hi Diane,
CampsitePhotos is not associated with the campgrounds listed on our site. We provide the photos of each campsite, campground info and link to reservations. We’re not sure if campers at Morro Bay State Park can park a vehicle in the overflow parking area at Morro Bay State Beach. I recommend you call the Park directly at: (805) 772-7434
Is there a camp store at the campground? also I understand we can drive to park for a shower. How and where do we get the token? sorry our 1st time there
Pat
Hi Patricia,
There is not a camp store at the campground, and yes – there are a few parking spots over by the shower. You can purchase a token at the campground – either at the shower or at the ranger station.
What is the pad length for the two RV spots in the group campsites. and can smaller campers like pop-ups be used in the other spaces
Hi Debbie,
We did not take any measurements on the pad length when we took the photos of the Morro Bay State Park campsites. I recommend you call the Park directly to see if they can answer your question(s): 805 772-2560
can you put a pop trailer and park a pickup in a 24 ft pad at Morro Bay SP Site #78
HI Christine, Yes your popup trailer and pickup will fit in site 78 at Morro Bay State Park. You may need to park your popup all the way back and parallel park your pickup on the parking pad, but they will both fit.
We will be camping up there with our RV and wanted to know what the rules are if we were to put our car on a 18ft trailer if there was room for that along with our RV or what the regulations might be. The RV is 31ft
Hi Erika,
Morro Bay State Park campsites will accommodate up to 2 vehicles (trailer counts as one) and 8 people. You can not park a car, trailer and an RV in one site. Most sites can accommodate a car/trailer or motorhome up to 35 feet. Some sites are a tad smaller.
Hi, My husband and myself, grandson have stayed here numerous times and we absolutely enjoy ourselves each and every time. Easy access to everything in the area. 5 👍👍👍👍👍 rating by us.❣🦋❣🦋❣
For site 066 at Morro Bay sp can we fit a 20 ft camper van as wide as a regular van and a Subaru suv side by side as well as set up a tent?
Hi Lorraine,
Yes, your camper van and Subaru suv should fit side-by-side at Morro Bay State Park campsite #66.
I was wondering how do you know which are electric hook up sites? Im having a hard time finding that information.
Hi Carrielee,
Campsites 1-30 have water/electric hookups at Morro Bay State Park. A few of these area ADA/Handicap sites.
How do we make reservations and if were handicapped what do we need to qualify for a ADA handicap spot
Hi Juanita,
You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability, pricing and make a reservation at Morro Bay State Park campground. For an ADA site – you must have a California license plate with the ADA designation, or have a valid temporary ADA/Handicap card to quality for one of the ADA sites. Hope this helps.
Are seadoo’s allowed?
Hi Rosa,
We believe Seadoos are allowed in Morro Bay State Park, but recommend calling the park to confirm: 805 772-2560
Is there an RV water fill up station at the park?…would like to know if we need to fill up our RV with water at home or can we do it at the camp site. We are staying at a site with no water or electric. Thank you…
Hi Bret,
Yes there are water spigots to fill up your RV tanks at Morro Bay State Park.
