Great place for overnight! Large camping spots,water access, pit bathrooms. The one thing missing the was a shower. But would highly recommend this campground.

Beautiful area and super friendly Host. Over all a great camping spot close to Morro Bay. Be careful on the trails if you're allergic to poison oak as there's plenty to go around.

Very nice canyon with spread out camp sites.

The campground itself was nice, but my site was right next to / partially downwind of the pit toilets, so I'd get a pretty strong whiff of the toilets a good portion of the time.

We stayed in spot 17 over Memorial Day weekend. The site had a constant putrid smell radiating from the nearby bathrooms. We asked to be moved however all spots were full. The camp host was nice and said they were expecting a maintenance but that no one had shown for days. The site was otherwise nice and the hiking trails were great.

Site:#17; Group of 4; 2 vehicles.
The campsite is spacious, and close to vault toilet. The Vault toilet is well-maintained and clean. I can smell a bit here and there but it's not too bad and strong. Also, there's a trail to the Cerro Alto summit with plenty of shades. It's a challenging hike but has a nice view from the summit, definitely would love to do do it again.

Small & simple quiet campground. Lots of birds, tree's and sun. Great location for camping because it's so near other awesome places. Road is narrow to get in, we fit ok with our Ford van.

Wonderful isolated place! Great hiking, nice and green and quiet. The camp hosts were fantastic and keep the place clean and looking amazing. Will return again and again.

A very nice Forest service campground. The Vault toilets were the cleanest I have ever seen. Nice place!
