Why it's hard to book

A volcanic plug, a protected estuary, and a campground that fills by lottery

Morro Bay State Park occupies one of California's most distinctive landscapes — a protected bay dominated by Morro Rock, a 590-foot volcanic plug that rises straight from the water. The campground's 135 sites include 15 allocated by annual lottery, with the remainder on ReserveCalifornia.

The park's combination of bay kayaking, tide-pool exploring, and views of one of California's most photographed landmarks draws campers from across the Central Coast. Sites with direct bay views go fastest.

CampWatch monitors all non-lottery sites for cancellations around the clock.
