Upper Moro Campground
REVIEWS
We started from the lower parking lot. Went up right at the first cut to end up on Moro Ridge Spur / Road. From there just go straight to Upper Moro Campground. The campsite have no water so take your own. They have a outhouse / pit for restroom. Mosquitoes 🦟 are ruthless anywhere and I don’t know why thought up here was the exception. Take your measures to prep against mosquitoes. I took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to ascend 974 ft, distance 3.15 miles. Make sure if your backpacking to use the rainfly as the fog will come in and wet everything. Will be trying Lower Moro next time. Have fun and Happy Camping

This is a kind of nice place to camp looking from the outside. The restroom was dirty and stinky, so bury your poo instead of you are going to camp here.

Very hard to determine spots. Some are marked, some are not, and some have a million picnic tables. Lower moro had better bathrooms, views, and sites.
