If we want to reserve a group campground Morro Bay State Park has two, side by side, with a total capacity for 60 people and 26 vehicles. The Chorro group site has maximum capacity of 35 people and 15 vehicles, trailers can be up to 36' long. The Osos group site has with a max. of 25 people, 11 vehicles, and trailers up to 18' long. The cost for reserving them needs to be looked into. Couldn't find it on Reserve America's web site.
They're located beyond the main campground several hundred feet up a dead end gravel and dirt road. Tall trees surrounding most of the area provide some shade, wind protection and privacy. The camp sites slope gently. The lower side has a tree filtered view of the bay.
They have newly built bathrooms and showers with outside lighting, picnic tables, and BBQ areas. A concrete slab, maybe 15' square, with a fire ring in the center looks like it'd be good spot for Dutch Oven cooking. There's no outside electric service to tap into. There's one outside water faucet. About half the area has logs on the ground to keep vehicles out. Most of the picnic tables are inside the logged off areas. Our trailer camping would be in the sandy dirt parking areas.
It seems to me, a TD gathering newbie, that MBSP's group camp sites could be a good spot for a TD&DO gathering.
