We dry camped 3 nights at two different sites in Morro Bay. Saturday night was definitely the fullest/loudest with kids and generators running but the park was probably only at half capacity. Then the activity dramatically dropped off which left us with quiet mornings and evenings. Walking to the estuary and around the park is really beautiful. We rented kayaks from the marina at "The Kayak Shack" and saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Biking into town was easy (there are some good hills to tackle) and only took about 10 minutes. The office is open from 9:15 am to 4 pm which makes it hard to wake up and get out before reserving your site again (if you don't book online). The hookup spots are packed in like tuna cans but they have the best views of the water. Overall, a really beautiful spot.
AE would stay here again

We stayed 8 nights and would visit again, decent access to the bay and a few walking trails, but I would not consider this a destination state park. Location is very good to the quaint, touristy town of Morrow Bay and about 15 minutes drive is the cool little town of San Luis Obispo.
Like many California state parks, years of budget cuts have surfaced numerous maintenance issues, never-mind we paid $35/night for a dry camping site. Typical of state parks in this state, sites are pretty close, showers houses are limited, and there is only a single dump station. With abundant generators and campfires, I would imagine this place is a zoo during summer and holidays.
Our stay at this campground occurred the first week of January and park was pretty quiet - especially in the non-hook-ups loops. Nearly all rigs were crammed into the water/electric loop, affording us lots of solitude. All things being equal, we had a really nice stay.
Working remotely was pretty easy (AT&T and Verizon), no issue there.

We live not to far from here, so we stay at this park at least a couple times a year. I would give the hookup sites a higher rating than the dry camping sites if I could, but instead I just rated the whole park 4 stars overall. Generally speaking, besides having power and water and being easier to park your RV, the hookup sites are more private and quiet, even though they are closer to the road. The dry sites are more crowded and noisier due to generator use. The dry sites are $35/night and the hookup sites are $50 as of 7/15/2015.
The park is in a very aesthetically pleasing area right across from a marina and the bay, and has mature shade trees all around. It's a photographer's dream. A very nice golf course borders the campground and there are hiking trails all around. You can rent kayaks at the marina, or launch your own there too. There is a great restaurant next to the marina too. It's bike friendly and you can ride it into town and out to Morro Rock, or wherever you like. The beaches, surfing, fishing, boating and hiking nearby, all add up to make this a wonderful experience for the outdoors person. There is also shopping and restaurants in town for the non-outdoors people.

This is our second visit to this park and you can bet we'll be back again. Beautiful wooded setting across the street from the sheltered bay. The first review sums up how nice this place is. I'll just add that there's a good nature museum in the park and a golf course adjacent to it. The kayak rental place (for kayaking around the beautiful bay) is across the street and was only open during Friday, Saturday, and Sundays when we visited mid-week in February. I did rent a kayak on the previous visit and was enthralled by the setting. Road noise is a problem for those camping close to the street. Likewise, generator noise is a problem when camping near the non-electric sites (which comprise over half the park).

For several years now we have spent Memorial Day weekend in this great state park. The park is not directly on the coast, but just set back a little back from the bay.
There are lots of reasons to love this park Morro Bay is a cute town which is pretty 30 to 40 minutes walk away. If you are too tired to walk ,or at least walk back, you can ride a shuttle from the town back to the state park. It runs through the summertime, starting on Memorial Day. There is also a marina just across the street where you can rent singl vor double kayaks. When the water is smooth,there can be few things better than paddling across the bay and taking a stroll across the sand dunes,collecting sand dollars on the beach. There are some pretty hikes from the park too that will give you a decent workout and some wonderful views of the town. The smoke stacks in the town may at first seem like an eyesore until you realize they have become a loved part of the landscape for locals.
A few of the sites have electric and water and are pull through sites. There is a dump station on site. As with all California beach state parks you will probably need reservations well in advance if you want to stay over the weekend.
