One of my grandfather's favorite places to fish was Morro Bay, California. He had taken my family there several times. It is also where I caught my first fish, a red snapper.
The last time I was there was around 1991 and we camped at an RV park not far from Morro Rock.
The city council of Morro Bay created several RV sites on the waterfront near Morro Rock. But due to complaints from locals, those are going to be gone in April.
AP News reported:
MORRO BAY, Calif. (AP) — RV camping may be experiencing a surge in popularity, but not in one California coastal destination.
The Morro Bay City Council this week voted 4-1 to end a pilot program that created 19 RV campsites on the waterfront overlooking Morro Rock, a volcanic remnant that rises dramatically on the coast between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The move followed a citizen-led effort against the RV campsites, which were created to generate revenue for the city’s underfunded harbor department but generated complaints, local media reported.
The opponents had gathered enough petition signatures to bring the issue to a vote in an upcoming election.
Petition organizer Carole Truesdale said that camping has its place “but not on our Embarcadero, that is such a beautiful, pristine location,” KSBY-TV reported.
This time, I have to agree with the locals who are against waterfront camping.
