Secluded but full up on the weekends. Lots of poison oak, but well maintained. Can get coastal fog in evenings and mornings.

The site we reserved was occupied, but the host was very accomodating

It’s very quiet. Perfect for a get away from the city craziness. Loved our stay!!!!

We enjoyed our stay. Campsites we’re beautiful, weather was great. We reserved a campsite for 2 cars and 4 people. However when we got there the camp hosts charged us for the second car. I don’t understand why is we reserved it and if it was an extra charge it should have been an initial fee at the time we made the reservation. We like that it is dog friendly but the bathrooms did not have any toilet paper and the trash cans were full. This is not indicative of daily upkeep. We want to come back when campfires are allowed but because of the things mentioned we are hesitant.

Quiet and beautiful experience! Just did a weeknight stayover and off to work in the morning. We have a camper and only a few sites can accommodate our rig. My husband and I had to come drive around before we made any reservations to see which sites would work. It would be nice if the campgrounds could put together a campground map and site pictures. Other than that, we cant wait to come back!

Not too many campsites in the park was really nice. Fire rings were great for roasting hot dogs, smores, and relaxing in the evenings. Fires aren't always allowed so be sure to check before going. Appreciated the comments on this site about campsite numbers -- this helped us book a site that wasn't too close to neighbors and had shade. Expect non-flushing toilets (which were clean) and bringing your own water. We used water from home for washing our hands, etc. The oaks with lichen are beautiful and the hike up Cerro Alto is not to be missed. I recommend hiking boots or footwear with grip. We are locals and do hikes like Bishops, Madonna, etc., and this hike had a lot more rocks/shale on the trail which caused slipping on the way down. It's not awful, just that hiking boots would have been nice. You'll see experienced hikers on the trail with good footwear and pants due to poison oak and tics. The hike has areas with full sun so we were glad we started earlier in the day before it got too warm. Super great location. You can hike Cerro Alto one day, and then visit Morro Bay to get some saltwater taffy at Crill's the next.

This small campground has a variety of sites for different needs, including very private, very small, tent-only, and some adjacent sites for those with larger families. No showers, no hookups, just lots of trees, a creek, poison oak in abundance (!) and hiking trails that run the gamut from mild to ohmygod. Close to both Morro Bay and Atascadero, but far enough away to feel "wild" in a riparian setting. We love it.
