Morro Bay is a small coastal city that is popular for its many water-based activities. The city enjoys 6 miles (10 kilometers) of shoreline, from where visitors can surf, kayak, and head out on fishing excursions. For a fun family outing, head to the activity-packed Morro Bay State Park, where you can hike, bike, fish, and even play golf. Not to be missed is a visit to Morro Rock, a volcanic peak on the sea, which was formed millions of years ago. The city is also surrounded by unspoiled forest land which is perfect to set up camp and explore. But if you are not into roughing it, then glamping makes for an excellent alternative. You get the joy of staying amidst nature without giving up on creature comforts. Continue reading to pick from one of the top glamping spots near Morro Bay, California.

2. Riverside tent in Rocky Canyon Ranch, Atascadero
This custom-built glamping tent has a canvas roof but is otherwise built using wood and glass. The tent is built around the seasonal Salinas River with the entire area around the river for you to explore. You don’t even have to leave the ranch for hiking, with miles of trails beginning right outside your tent.
While the kitchenette is not equipped for cooking full meals, guests can prepare quick snacks, or enjoy a barbecue under the stars and regale with stories around the firepit late into the night. The tent does not come with an ensuite bathroom, but there is a custom-made bathhouse only a short walk away. This glamping accommodation is part of a working ranch. So if you are coming with kids, they will love to meet the horses and goats.

3. Hideaway in Flying Lady Ranch, Santa Margarita (from USD 108)
This dreamy tent set on a 50-acre (20-hectare) ranch is perfect for a romantic getaway. The name is perfectly apt for the glamping tent because you are secluded enough to not be disturbed by noises such as the honks of cars. Begin your mornings with a cup of coffee on the wooden deck. Then, you can go for a nice morning walk around the property.
When you want to head out, the towns of San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles are on either side of the ranch and can be reached within 30 minutes. There is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen that guests can use, just remember to stock up on groceries. There is also a barbecue grill and a firepit for post-dinner s'mores.

5. Lakota in Flying Lady Ranch, Santa Margarita
This spacious tent is one of several glamping units on this ranch. But don’t worry about privacy as they are located far enough from each other. The canvas cover of the tent is set on a metal frame and comes with a wooden floor with an outdoor porch. The porch includes a canopy making it possible to sit out and enjoy the ranch life any time of the day.
Guests have access to a shared outdoor kitchen where they can meet other glampers or enjoy a barbecue meal for two right outside your tent. There are no showers at this glamping site, but there is a porta-potty. The hosts are thoughtful enough to provide body and face wipes in each tent.
