We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon in mid-April, and found plenty of sites without hookups available - we chose site 49, which looked out over the estuary. All the hookup sites were occupied or reserved. Date of visit: Apr 2008 |
 |
Sites are all pretty much the same - here are sites 49-45 (no hookups). The none-hookup sites are all back-ins.
|
 |
Sites 21-22 are in the hook-up section, and these are all pull-throughs. |
 |
Site 85 (l). |
 |
Sites 111 (l) and 98 (r). |
 |
There are 5 bathhouses in the campground, offering free hot showers. |
 |
Morro Rock is the major geographical attraction in the area. It is a 23 million-year-old volcanic plug, one of nine in a line between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. Once quarried for its rock, it is now off-limits to humans, and has become a major nesting spot for peregrine falcons. |
 |
Designed in 1928, the golf course was included in the park when it was established in1934. |
 |
The park also includes a full-service marina. You can also rent canoes and kayaks. |
 |
Located beside the marina is the Bayside Cafe, offering lunch and dinner. Guess we're not used to California prices, for we felt menu items were fairly expensive. |
 |
Black Hill, just northeast of the CG, is another of the volcanic plugs. The nine are called the Nine Sisters. There is a trail from the CG to the summit. |
 |
In the morning light, the view of Morro Rock is a little clearer. |
