Morro Beach, or Morro Rock Beach, is in Morro Bay, California. Morro Bay is a waterfront city that lies on the Pacific coast in San Luis Obispo County. The city's well-known landmark is the Morro Rock--a striking, 576-foot volcanic land form that stands at the entrance to the city's harbor. Hiking the causeway that connects the Morro Rock to the shore is just one of the activities you can enjoy while camping in the area. Kayaking, fishing, sailing and bird watching are also available.

Morro Strand RV Park

Morro Strand RV Park is 1.5 miles from the Morro Strand State Beach and two miles from Morro Rock Beach. The park offers full hookups, free wireless Internet connection and cable television. Facilities include shower and laundry sites. The park is divided into two. The first park, Morro Strand I, has 24 sites with picnic areas and large paved sites. The second park, Morro Strand II, offers 19 sites. Both parks have the same amenities and facilities. Aside from strolling along the beach, you can also hike the 3.2-mile Morro Strand Trail. The trail starts at the Cloisters to Morro Rock and is a round-trip hike. Access the trailhead from Highway 1 and turn west on San Jacinto Street. Next, bear south through a subdivision area onto the parking lot. Enjoy the dunes alongside the boardwalk trail as it leads to the beach and down at the Morro Rock.
