Near San Francisco

This is a park and carry campsite—of which you’ll have to carry your gear up a couple sets of stairs. Most sites are near the road and you’ll hear bicycles all night. Though, you can see the city shine in the distance. Cost us $25

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.
