Beautiful Park

Great park with hiking, great views of Mt. Hamilton and a lake up the road a way, there’s also a mansion & rose garden on the property, shower & bathroom are clean, there are nights to gather and stargaze.The tent spaces are sizable & you can have a fire. Some seasons there are wild pigs running around everywhere.

Basic Campsites near Mount Hamilton

Campsites are fairly spare, with some having shade. There is an interesting Ranch House and Museum that showcases the life of Joseph Grant and his offspring, with many eccentric and macabre details of their history in the area.

Meh

The sites were large and clean. Showers are free only one shower per restroom though so be prepared to wait. No cell service, ride up the mountain is nauseating. They do not sell ice but firewood is available for $13 a bundle. Not much to do in the park. Lots of beautiful wildlife.
