Dumbarton Quarry Campground on the Bay

We live nearby, and we come to this campground to check out our RV systems or sometimes just so we can enjoy our RV. It's easy to back in our trailer, the sites are not as close together as you sometimes find in commercial parks.

There's a great playground if you have small kids, and lots of gentle hiking trails. If you hate wind, you should know it can get windy here. If you want rural isolation you'll want to know a major highway can be seen from the park. But it's generally pretty quiet and low key.

We stayed on a windy rainy day and the site is quite exposed. Each pitch has a bench and fire pit, plus water, electricity and sewer hook ups. WiFi too, not super strong but it worked! There were a couple of toilet blocks which were pretty chilly but clean. More hooks needed in the shower room though and watch out for the deep clean on a Wednesday morning where everything gets wet! (Why do it at the time folk would want to use them?!?) Wood and charcoal was available to purchase for $11 a bag. There was a vending machine for snacks but it was out of order. Washers and dryers available but I didn't try these. I think a wash was $3.50. Our pitch cost us $65. It's a useful stop if needing to return your RV to Cruise America in Newark.

Nice facilities, clean, close to the bay. Not much of a view.
