Montana de Oro State Park campground pictures

Here are some pictures of Montana do Oro and the campground where we'll have the SLO Gathering in September. It's a very pretty park that is seldom very crowded. i'd guess about 10 miles of coastline is state parks land from the southern end of Montana do Oro northward to the tip of the Morro Bay sandspit.
This is Spooner's Cove at Montana de Oro State Park. The campground is a little way above the cove in a sheltered valley.
This is the open space inside the first road loop in the campground, with a couple of loos. In the background you can see campsites. More camp sites are along the road to the right of the picture against the hillside with pine trees.
One of the campsites. Each one has paved parking, that's about 24' x 24', for 2 side by side vehicles, a table, and a metal fire ring. No shade at this spot but it shows a campsite's layout well. Each campsite has room for tents or Easy Ups. Most are pretty level.
A creek side camp site with some shade. Wonder if they're going to kayak in Morro Bay or the ocean?
Ready to roll in.
This is part of the back loop where we have sites "on hold." The tents are inside the loop. In between the tent on the left and the loo is a water tank behind a fence. Potable water is trucked in.
Another water tank, loos, shade, and camp spots inside the rear loop. There's more open space under the big trees that doesn't show up well in this shot that would be nice for socializing and pot lucks.
Hope this helps you picture the enjoyable time we're all going to have camping at Montana de Oro in September.
