Campsite: Islay Creek Campground — Montaña de Oro State Park

Only giving four stars because there are no showers. Cindy and her husband were great camp hosts in this very popular yet still under the radar park. Jut beware of the raccoons, poison oak/ivy and the rattlesnakes. The quail sang sweet songs through the night and the costal views are difficult to surpass as well as the beautiful geology exposed. I could have stayed much longer but the weekend brought the crowds. It was somewhat fun to haze the Poly Cal ROTC unit as they treked the coastline with lightweight packs in full camo. Just kidding, those cats were troopers bound for great adventure with that style of training. Overall a fun Saturday of hiking before my pack out. This park has a bright future ahead of itself. I think ultimately a one way road in and out will have to be additionally built. I feared for the cyclists in various passing maneuvers with on coming traffic. I didn’t see the appeal of cycling the main road between Los Osos and the campground with so much vehicular traffic coming from both directions. But to each their own. There are miles of trails that I left undiscovered for a latter date. For now I’ve scouted the rest for a latter date, God willing and the Creek don’t rise.
