PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
John SAfter thought: pretty much need a toad/vehicle; not a lot to do within walking/bicycling distance. John SJust came back from a nice stay at Desoto SP. One of the best we've experienced! Sites are nicely spaced out, not crowded on the next. Shaded, some are asphalt paved. If not paved, graveled, pretty level. Picnic tables, most have fire rings.

19. Montaña de Oro State Park
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Phyllis KhareThis State Park located on the Central coast of California about 6 - 7 miles south of Morro Bay and Los Osos is a great place to camp and accommodates RV's up to 27 feet. There are no hook ups, flush toilets or dump stations however the RV sites do have firepits, there is a camp store and camp host and firewood is available for sale... but the beauty of being nestled in this State Park is that it is located away from town a few miles or so down a country road. You will love the hiking available along the cliffs over the ocean and beach access to Spooners Beach just outside the campground. Dogs are welcome on Spooners Beach and at your campsite but not on the hiking trails.
