Camp San Luis Obispo

Camp San Luis Obispo, formerly called Camp Merriam, was established in 1928 and is called the original home of the California National Guard. State Route 1 passes through the camp about halfway between the cities of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. Since World War II, the camp has had an area of 15,433 acres. During the Korean war, from early January 1950 to late 1953, the camp was used by the US Army, for signal corps training. It was also a Prisoner of War Camp during WW II.
El Chorro Regional Park was created in 1972 when over 700 acres (2.8 km2) of the camp were given to San Luis Obispo County. An area in the northern portion of the park is off limits due to the discovery of unexploded munitions.
The California Army National Guard maintains the California Military Academy at Camp San Luis Obispo for the use and training of members of California and other western state National Guard units, as well as for the use of the California State Military Reserve.
