Amazing urban get-away
We love Anthony Chabot! The eucalyptus groves make the air smell wonderful, and there is so much wildlife to see (deer, turkeys, owls, etc.). It's a great natural area that is so conveniently located in the Bay Area. There is an extensive network of trails accessible from the campground. It's popular, especially on the weekends, and I'd recommend reservations. Restrooms are fairly clean, there are showers, and recycling collection, which I appreciate.
