Description
Morgan Territory is located within the traditional homeland of the Volvon, one of five Native American nations in the Diablo area who spoke dialects of the Bay Miwuk language. Morgan Territory Backpacking campsite is a primitive HIKE-IN site that includes picnic tables, a vault toilet, and hitching rails. Water at the site is non-potable, so be prepared to boil, treat, filter or bring in your own. There is a water trough for horses. Do not camp under the trees, use open space. Please visit the Morgan Territory Park Page or call the EBRPD Reservations Department at 1-888-EBPARKS (1-888-327-2757) option 2 for more information.
