For a small campground you get fairly private sites, miles of hiking trails/Cuesta grade fire roads and a convient drive to the Morro Bay. This campground is located in a canyon and the road hugs a steep drop off into a creek. It's a tight fit for cars and espeically campers & horse trailers. Parts of the road can't support two small cars, so be careful and take the road slow! Great for day hikers.

Beautiful private sites! My husband and I stayed at site 16. It was elevated above the road with no closeby campsites. The campground is heavily trafficked by day users so it can still feel crowded. Lots of flies and unclean vault toilets, lots of poison oak.

Amazing hike, small campsite which is quiet and nice, some sites are next to main road (can seem like you are putting on a show when people drive by and stare at you). restrooms are clean(ish) but its a hole...
