Camper reviews for Montana De Oro SP
Beautiful campground!
I've camped all over California but this was my first time to Montana De Oro! It was a gorgeous park with wonderful short hikes in the area. The campground is right up the road from the beach.
Great mountain biking and hiking
Small campground with about 40 sites. The park is on a dead end road, so at night all you hear is the ocean. The town of Los Osos is 5 miles away. Pit toilets and somewhat strong tasting drinking water are the only downsides. Great hiking and mountain biking.
