Perfect

This is one of my favorite campgrounds I've ever camped at. Bootjack is a tent only, walk in campground. You park your car in the parking lot, and then carry your stuff uphill to your site. The site closest to the bottom is reserved for disabled. Many of the sites feature beautiful historic stone grills. Some of the sites are two levels. Many are next to the creek. It's usually quiet and peaceful. Pantoll Ranger Station is only .4 miles away and there are endless hiking opportunities from there. This campground is first come first serve only. Maximum stay 14 nights per year. The only major downside is there is no camp host. Rangers come through once per morning to power wash the restrooms.

Excellent bathrooms!!

Never expected such a clean bathroom at a campsite!! We originally arrived at bootjack thinking we could drive directly to our campsite and car camp… unfortunately you cannot. However, thankfully we brought a tent!! The sites are very close to the parking lot (and the main road) so it was easy to haul everything up and back from the car. The amenities at the camp were terrific!!

Solid campground with all the required amenities

This campground has all the amenities one would need. Each campsite had a table and bench, wood grill area, and easy access got the restrooms, potable water, and trash cans (that are inside wooden boxes to deter wildlife). Quick access to some solid trails, beautiful views, and close proximity to a park and San Francisco. Just be ready for a winding drive with some sharp turns and sheer cliffs. Bring some cash too to pay using their envelopes.
