Morro Bay
Overview
Overview
Morro Dunes RV Park offers a coastal camping experience situated directly against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. This park is defined by its immediate proximity to the beach, allowing guests to hear the sounds of the surf from their campsites. It functions as a classic seaside destination where the focus is on the natural beauty of the Central Coast rather than luxury resort gimmicks, making it a reliable base for those seeking a laid-back, salt-air retreat.
Location & Surroundings
Located on the northern end of Morro Bay, the park provides direct access to the sandy dunes and miles of shoreline. You are positioned just a short distance from the iconic Morro Rock, a volcanic plug that serves as the visual anchor of the region. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and residential, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still remaining close enough to town to enjoy local seafood dining and maritime culture.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is designed to accommodate various RV sizes, offering full hookups to ensure a comfortable stay regardless of your rig type. Guests have access to clean restrooms and showers, which are essential for beachside camping. While the sites are arranged in a functional layout, the primary draw remains the short walk to the ocean. The park also provides pet-friendly policies, allowing you to bring your four-legged companions along to enjoy the coastal breezes.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Visitors often spend their time exploring the nearby Morro Bay State Park, which offers excellent hiking trails and bird-watching opportunities within the estuary. You can easily spend an afternoon kayaking in the bay or wandering through the shops and galleries in the downtown harbor area. The local tide pools are a favorite for families, while the proximity to Highway 1 makes this an ideal starting point for scenic drives toward Big Sur or San Simeon.
Who This Park Is Best For
Morro Dunes RV Park is best for travelers who prioritize beach access and ocean views over extensive on-site entertainment. It is an excellent choice for retirees, couples, or small families who enjoy walking on the beach, observing local wildlife, and visiting the charming shops in Morro Bay. If you are looking for a straightforward, well-located spot that puts you right on the edge of the Pacific, this park will likely suit your travel style.

Absolutely beautiful! The stars at night were breathtaking!! The bathrooms and showers were clean. However I will say the shower was horrible!! The water would not adjust from boiling hot. The campground staff was very nice!!

I've been to a lot of the state parks, and I try to hit any of em on my poppy pass. This park really doesn't offer much. I love morro bay, the park, not so much.

Another one in the books, probably our 6th time here camping ⛺️. We’ve always enjoyed our times here. Although the sites can be a bit cramped compared to other parks locally, we make it work. Don’t know how often they clean the showers or bathrooms but twice a day would be nice. Somewhat Walkable to museum, café across the street, kayak rentals too. Great views.

We have the best time at this park every year. Some of us are in trailers some are in tents. Weather is beautiful and camp hosts are great. Site are always clean. Showers are decent not amazing. They do cost a little but its not anything crazy. The huge trees are super awesome to be around. The museum across the street is super cool and the fishing around morrow bay is almost always a good time.

The check in rangers were do friendly and know their park. The middle field spots are not too private but everyone is respectful. A blue Heron likes to walk around camp. The CCC built stone grills and perhaps the wooden pantry boxes at some sites. Campground also has shaded areas. Some have estuary views. Some are in tall trees. There are pull through RV sites with healthy vegatation around them. Some sites back up to a major golf course. Some are across from a road and a marina! There's an exercise trail near the group camp and a wonderful wooden board walk over the estuary. Don't forget to walk to the amazing Natural history Museum, which is across the street.
