Morro Strand State Beach

Imagine waking up to the refreshing sound of waves lapping against the shore and the dramatic silhouette of Morro Rock on the horizon. Morro Strand State Beach Campground is a seaside gem offering unparalleled beach access, stunning coastal vistas, and a tranquil atmosphere perfect for reconnecting with nature. Boasting 76 campsites, including oceanfront options, this campground caters to both tent and RV campers, with full hookups available for larger vehicles in designated spots.

Situated along a three-mile stretch of sandy beach just north of Morro Bay and two miles south of Cayucos, the campground places visitors at the heart of the Central Coast's natural splendor. Campers enjoy direct access to activities like beachcombing, surfing, birdwatching, and kite flying, while nearby attractions, such as Morro Rock, the quaint town of Morro Bay, and Montaña de Oro State Park, are all within a short drive. Sites are equipped with essentials including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean restrooms, though showers are conveniently located at Morro Bay State Park for registered campers.

This campground is ideal for weekend getaways or coastal road trips, offering a serene environment where spectacular sunsets and coastal wildlife sightings are the norm. While the sites are somewhat compact and the beach can be breezy, the unbeatable location and opportunities for oceanfront relaxation make it a top choice for those seeking a quintessential California beach camping experience.
