Group Camping

This is a great camping spot only a short distance from Berkley or San Francisco. The campsites are nothing special and fairly uneven but plenty large and the hiking makes up for it. Each site has a very large stone grill (pictures) and a picnic bench that are in OK condition. There was plenty of space at our site to park 3 cars and put up 4 tents and 3 hammocks so we were very happy we could fit our whole group. It was pretty hot out since it was late in the summer but it got very cold at night and we were happy we had our sleeping bags while sleeping in our hammocks. Right from the campsite there are a few trails you can take and explore the area. My suggestion though is to drive a little ways down the road and do some of the more intense hikes. Make sure to bring lots of water! The best suggestion we got and in my opinion is now a necessity is to take the sunset hike (or sunrise) to the overlook point from the campsite. It is a serious climb but well worth it.
