Wicked Boring, super small and no real adventure to be had. Coolest thing there is the decommissioned Ferry. Is a point of interest for you to get your StatePark stamp book finished.

This park is mainly for fishing. Three water ways come together at the park for great fishing! They have rentals for canoes and a party barge. You have to call for times but offer guided river tours. The park only have two trails but are really nice and easy to walk. Plenty of room for bike riding. If you forget your bike, you can rent some of their bikes. The staff was amazing. All camp sites are 50/30 amp RV sites with full hookups including sewer. Sites 12 thru 24 are very roomy. The cabins are elevated, VERY nice. One is wheelchair acessible with a nice long ramp. If you want a short or long stay, I highly recommend this park. It's close to several other places to see and do! It's the site of the old barge that closed in 1992. The barge is on display and is also handicap accessible. Thanks to the awesome staff for all their help in making a great New Year's trip!!!

CLEANEST CAMPGROUND EVER! We 100% enjoyed our weekend at Moro Bay! We have 6 & 10 yr old girls, two dogs, and a yearning to still relax. This was just the place! The playground is amazing, our dogs enjoyed the space, and we had a view of the water when we woke up each morning. The ladies were cleaning the bathrooms/showers each morning when I went at 7:00. The bathrooms were prestige, the showers were great, and the whole place was EXACTLY what we needed!
