  Cruisin’ Morro Bay 2026

  
  
  This campout focuses on the Morro Bay car show. This car show is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of community spirit. Each year, it brings together classic car enthusiasts while supporting local businesses, charities, and organizations. With a focus on creating an inclusive and fun experience, thus fostering a sense of togetherness throughout Morro Bay and beyond. Here is a website for you to check it out: https://www.morrobaycarshow.org/ . Hope to see you at the grounds or at the main event! Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking, okrr?
   
  
  WHERE: Cerro Alto Campground. 13741 Cerro Alto Road, Atascadero, CA 93422.
  The city of Atascadero is off Highway 101, while Morro Bay is off Highway 1 from SLO. The campground is conveniently located on Highway 41, between Atascadero and Morro Bay, typically a 15 to 20-minute drive from either location. It is located in the Los Padres National Forest, and it is a dry camp with pit toilets scattered across the grounds. There are water spigots available for use as well. Signal is spotty, so make sure to message the trip leader ahead of time before heading over.

  11:30am Urban Walk through USC Campus (1.1 miles, ~30min)

  12pmn Lunch

  Potential Urban Walk Information: This hike from the ONE Archive at USC to lunch. This urban walk is expected to take 30mins at a generous pace. 

  Parking: USC's ONE Archive has a free private parking lot, so anyone coming directly to the archive will be fine. If you plan to park at the archive, and walk to and back from the exhibition on campus, there shouldn't be a problem with parking. If anyone is planning to park near the exhibition on campus following the archive visit, however, that would likely be rather difficult and expensive.

  Cost: Free for Archive visit

  Time Commitment: Plan for approx 3-4 hours 

  Dogs: No animals allowed.

  Health Problems/Allergies: It is the responsibility of participants to carry on their person a record of significant allergies, medications and medical history in the event of a medical emergency. Discuss any medical concerns with a trip leader if you wish.
