About a block from the beach and a 1.5 mile walk to the restaurants and shops by the bay, it's a very good location. Most of the sites in Park #1 are roomy, Park #2 is tighter, it's set up for smaller rigs. The bathrooms and showers are okay, could be spruced up a bit. Staff was friendly. Laundry was good, $3.75 to wash, $2 to dry, quarters only. Nightly camping fee ~$80.

We love the Beach and we call The Morro Strands our Happy place there’s others in the area and we have stayed in there and it just feels so over packed no quiet time after hrs and everyone at the strands I’ve met feels like you’ve met them before just so kind .. Thank Morro Strands for always getting us a spot to stay we appreciate it more than you know!! ♥️♥️

Unfortunately Chris the camp host called the cops on us because we left our dogs on a cool cloudy day in their insulated water provided kennels in the back of the truck while we ran in to get food for 30 minutes. He called it in under “anonymous” but the only way the cops could have called our phone number was from the camp host Chris giving it to them. Additionally, our camp neighbors saw him talking to the cops. Morro Bay Strands never called us to let us know the dogs couldn’t be in a kennel in the back of the truck, Chris the camp host just automatically called the cops. When the cops called us they said “have you seen your dogs today?” And we said, well yes we were just with them, we wanted to grab some food and we will be right back. So Chris the camp host had them believing that we had neglected our dogs, which he knew we hadn’t as our trailer was next to his, and he was in his trailer all day with his partner. At the minimum, we should have received a phone call, instead, the cops were called on us. Thankfully our awesome neighbors talked to the cops and told them we were with the dogs all day. When we got back I would think again at the minimum the camp host would approach us and let us know why they called the cops, Chris did not do that, he avoided us for the rest of our stay. It really ruined our trip and we will never stay there again.

Location is cool but ownership/management was not good. The owner made the stay very uncomfortable by coming into our camp without any notice and then promptly brought up politics and religion which, for us, was very unwelcome. We felt a little paranoid to leave our camp unattended after that. It was unfortunate because the area is beautiful but we always felt rushed to get back to the camp. No hot water in the bathrooms during our stay. Definitely would not stay here again. I’d just go with a different campground in the same area if we return!

We booked two sites about eight months in advance and were told by the girl who works in the office that we were being given some of the best sites in the park. Then the owner, Larry, called us a couple of weeks before our arrival and asked us to switch sites. Telling us that the ones we had booked were no good and the ones he wanted us in were much better. We declined. Glad we did. The sites he wanted us to switch to were half the size of the ones that we already had. He was just trying to gaslight us so that someone else could have our spots. Once we got there the entire back half of our site was completely flooded preventing us from backing in all the way. Fortunately it dissipated quickly. When we mentioned it to Larry he said that we would have to “talk to God about that”. They do have showers on site but the hot water didn’t work. When my wife went to the office to mention it to them she was told that we were doing it wrong and the way to do it is to turn on the hot water faucet that is on the outside of the bathroom until hot water comes out and then go to the shower and turn on the hot water. I don’t know why we didn’t think of that. By the second day of that we were told that the water heater was broken and there would be no more hot water until it was fixed. That didn’t happen during the remainder of our stay. Lastly, my daughter and her partner had four storage totes stacked neatly in front of their rv and Larry came over and very rudely told her that they couldn’t have those there and that “this isn’t a storage facility”. Completely ignoring the other campers there who also had totes outside of their rigs. Overall we were very happy to be in Morro Bay but next time we’re there we’ll seek accommodations elsewhere. Between the facilities being kept in a state of disrepair and, most of all, Larry we have no desire to stay in that park again.
