Sanborn County Park

First of all, I did not realize before arriving that the tent sites are walk-in (my fault). That made it difficult to find, but probably not if you know that before. There is a parking lot for the tent sites near the RV sites, and there are plenty of carts to take your gear to your site. I kind of like this setup since it makes it feel a little more remote and you don't get bothered by cats constantly passing your site. We didn't explore the whole campground, since we were in site 5 and were there for such a short time (just a jumping off point for the Skyline to Sea Trail), but the part we saw is spectacularly beautiful. The campground is full of magnificent redwoods with a creek passing right through. The sites each have a picnic table and a very large and roomy food locker. The bathrooms are close and well maintained. The park itself was very pretty and peaceful. We immediately saw a group of 4 deer lounging in the grass upon entering. I wish we could have stayed longer, but I will certainly be back!

Camping among the redwoods 

Great camping in the mountains of Santa Clara county.  Very secluded. No cell service.  Miles of Great hiking 

Beautiful camping 

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 dogs for a weekend.  It was a last minute decision to go camping and we were able to make a reservation I think only a week in advance, and there was availability.  

  

We did have to hike in to our site, but the campground provides big carts to take your stuff.  The only issue is they didnt have a lot of the carts available, so we had to wait for someone to return theirs.  It was a little bit of a hassle, but once we got settled in, it wasnt so bad.  We showed up after work on. Friday, so that seemed to be the time everyone was trying to get to their site.

Convenient to the bay area

The RV spots are part of a parking lot that is used for the walk-in campsites, so it’s busy. All 34 tent sites are walk-in and uphill, so keep that in mind. Also, they only allow charcoal cooking fires. The picnic tables were nice and made out of concrete, so there wasn’t much vandalism. The showers were closed because of Covid (state campgrounds have theirs accessible). The park itself is beautiful and has lots of uphill trails. We left a day early.

Busy Weekend 

Short uphill hike to the 1st few campsites , bathroom and hots showers are available and its a good campsites for starting campers.

Free wifi not stable

The RV area has ~20 sites. They all have water and 30 amps hookups. RVs are pretty close to each other, but not too invasive. Restrooms and showers are clean and in a very decent condition. Each site has a table and a charcoal . Barely any cell reception, but wifi worked pretty well (we could have a video conference).

  

The Sanborn park has multiple picnic areas, and plenty of space for folks/kids to play around. There are also some trails for short and longer hikes.

  

The tent / group camp sites are closed due to fores restoration.

  

To get to Sanborn you will have to drive up a narrow road. We didn't have any issue with a 21' though.
