Morro Strand RV Park

After a very bad experience at a park in Pismo involving not getting a promised site, we took a Saturday day trip looking for an alternate park. This facility looked great. A deluxe site (70' x45') was coming open for the period we desired. We jumped on it. Stayed for a week. WiFi was initially very strong, but became rather sporadic over the weekend. Roof mounted satellite TV had plenty of clearance. Park was very quiet, mostly retired, as are we. Winds can get pretty strong in Morro. The park offered pretty good protection even when gusts were reported at 65 mph in the immediate area. The park was a little far for walking to Morro's tourist shops & restaurants, but a very easy drive to everything, including Hearst Castle.

This RV park is nothing fancy … at all. I truly don't know how they justify $60 a night for gravel and dirt sites that were muddy when we arrived. Our site was just long enough for the motorhome but we had to park the car sideways to fit. The site was narrow, and there was no privacy between sites. There are several long term older RVs but sites seem reasonably cared for. The park is on route 41 across the street from a water treatment plant. The road stays busy during the day but quiets down at night. You can walk to the beach which requires a short trek up route 41 past the water treatment plant and down a beach access area. Verizon coverage was 4g 3 bars, and the WII FI actually worked!! Directv satellite coverage was fine. When we were there, it was very noisy. There were people next door and behind us with lots of kids, car alarms going off, and loud talking. We would not stay here again.

Reasonable rate for small space in great location with electricity, water, wifi, very clean bathroom. Full hookups are available. I was in a double tent site in my class b.

This campground is basically a concrete parking lot adjacent to the beach and ocean. It is conveniently located as a great stop-over to your final destination. The full hook-up sites are not on the beach side and don’t have views but that’s the trade-off as we did not have hook ups on our site. I’d stay here again—you can’t beat the location!

This was our first trip with our new 5th wheel and it’s length is 44 feet long. Everyone there is so nice. The grounds are kept very neat and orderly. When we arrived it had just rained pretty good so there was a lot of puddles. The grounds keeper lady brought us over a little wooded deck to place over the water up to our stairs. Couldn’t have been more grateful for that. The access to the beach was perfect walking distance if need be. We couldn’t have been any more pleased with our stay there. I wanted bring their groundskeeper lady home with us, she keeps the grounds perfect. Yes, it is asphalt and rock and because of the rains we couldn’t have been any more happier with that. Also, they were so helpful especially during this whole Covid-19 issue. We will definitely be going back.

There are 2 different areas of this park, across the street from each other. Don’t know much about park 1 that is for RV’s over 25ft. We stayed in park 2 for RV’s under 25ft. Very narrow sites , we could park our 23ft travel trailer but couldn’t fit our truck any which way in our site. Had to park on the closest main street. No shade but full hook ups. The ladies bathroom is set up with 2 toilet stalls. But the 2 showers have less privacy than most places we’ve stayed. All the other RV parks in town were booked solid so this was our last chance in Morro Bay.

This small RV park has a friendly vibe with level, gravel FHU sites right in the middle of all that Morro Bay has to offer. If you have a rear window try to get a perimeter site. It is a couple minutes drive to the waterfront where there is tons of free parking, seafood places, shops and otters. Two state parks nearby with hiking and tide pools. Fine access to Hwy 1 with the elephant seals and Big Sur scenery. Nice laundry onsite. WiFi pretty good. The only real negative was that a construction project is going on at the school next door so lots of noise during the week.

This park has two locations. The second park we were directed to has super small spaces and no room to park a tow vehicle. Our 25 foot airstream barely fit after jack knifing into a space. The host rudely told us to park our truck on the street across from the park. I asked if this has been a problem before and he said of course! The park was built in the 1960’s! No security. The park is also located adjacent to a industrial storage yard.

Even though we reserved in advance and paid in full we were charged an additional $7 when we arrived because the prices have gone up. Huh? So you can charge whatever you want when your customer arrives?

Lets start with the Pros. Not dusty. Nice gravel space. Close access to the beach, shops and the great bike path that goes north and south, for miles.
The Cons: Jammed together in tiny sites. Seems like they measured for the least possible area that could accommodate a rig and went a few inches smaller. If you’re not around to move your tow vehicle, good luck for the people getting on or out anywhere around your space. The park lacks character. We are on section B, across the street from the main park. Behind us is a batting cages business. Across the street is a construction company with equipment everywhere. It does not feel like camping. But, the most horrible negative is the sewage treatment plant several hundred feet upwind from the park. Most of the time you get constant wafts of stink! At first we thought it was the sewer pipe from the neighbor, which, because of the small spaces, is right in our lounging area, but we then realized, after taking our first cycle ride, that it’s the treatment plant. Half price for this space would be too much. Sorry, but never again will we stay here.

Stayed for the night on the way home. It is a very clean and well maintained park. Its in an industrial area that is close to the beach and rock. Site is like a parking lot with picnic tables, fire ring and barbaque.
