Black Hill is near Morro Bay State Park. The hill provides a nearly 360 degree spectacular view of the area. The trail is relatively short, but moderately steep in places. The trail is on the opposite side of the golf course from the State Park. Drive up to the golf course, and take the turn uphill until the road dead... More

We brought our 5th Wheel up to Morro Bay State Bark Campground for a few nights in the first week of May. The area is nicely situated right out of the town of Morro Bay, a quick bike ride into town. There are so many things to do in the area if you like the outdoors. The golf course is... More

Every year I venture to the top of black hill, at the top of the golf course. The view is incredible, and many days you can be king of the hill at the top, all alone! There is some playground equipment for the kids very close to the boat launch. Otherwise, there is nice walking and quiet, scenic views of... More

This is a beatiful spot in the trees by a golf course and marina. It is a great home base for exploring the area. More

Always beautiful views of the ocean and rock while you walk your dog, play in the surf or just breathe in the fresh air. Year round fun and views. A good lay out beach when the weather is warm, plenty of parking and close to amenities. www.sloluckystyle.com More

Walking distance to the harbor, beach and wetlands. With the park adjacent to the harbor, the sound of the surf just outside our RV was amazing. Recreational opportunities abound, with kayaking, shore walking, golf, and biking right in the park. The harbor provides not only unique scenery, but countless restaurants and shops to explore. A week wasn't enough - we... More

We camped here for a couple of nights and the place is really nice. The park hosts and employees were very friendly and helpful. My only negative comments would be $50 a night for only partial hookups and you have to pay extra for wi-fi, come on California State Parks you could at least throw in the internet access. More
