"A ton of great hiking and horseback riding trails. Literally 5 mins outside of the town of Napa. Ate at an amazing Brazilian Steakhouse and came to camp in just a short drive."
"Nice, clean place with beautiful hiking trails. The garden is very cute, perfect for a quiet walk or meditation. Sites are close to each other. This place is a good getaway into nature."
$12 / night
"The area is beautiful and lots of people come here to walk and exercise, and once I took my dog on a walk I saw why nobody brings their dog - TICKS! So many! "

Great option for when you just need a cheap overnight."

"This mountain has many of hiking trails for various levels of hikers."
"Live Oak is the closest to the entrance (and town), and features some cool rock formations to explore, but it's colder, has terrible cellular data service, and doesn't quite have the sunset / sunrise views"
$42 - $47 / night
"Close to highway. Noise not a problem. Very friendly staff. Sites are close together but easy entry. Level sites with FHU’s. Would stay here again."
"as usual some spots are better than others but most close to restrooms and/or water. lots of poison oak and star thistle right off trail. great deterrent for kids to stay out of tick areas but id worry"
"Always went here when we don't wanna drive too far. Staff is great and place is clean. Campsite #69 has the best view but is next to trail. Very nice trails and not super far from town to get food."
$35 - $175 / night
"You won't be able to drive up to your campsite. You have to carry your gear in a short distance from the parking lot."
"Located on the west side of the San Rafael/Richmond Bridge, on San Francisco Bay, this park is extremely popular with mountain bikers. "
"Tilden is great for anyone looking for a close park right outside of the Berkeley/San Fran area. It is a rather large park area that overlooks Berkeley."

"Good parking and turn around. Lots of opportunities for horse riders in area. Pets on leash."

"This campground is less than an hours drive from San Francisco. It is along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard which takes you through a bunch of very cute tiny towns."
"Beautiful trees and wonderful California charm. The campsites were decently located. Above the Mendocino coast the mornings are wet and Cold. Loved this place"
$60 - $80 / night
"Rv park at the fairgrounds, walk to downtown Napa. Concrete pads, full hook ups. Basic but great!"
"The site is very clean but noise from the traffic outside of it. It’s difficult to sleep."
GuideHad a great 1 night stay at Juniper! We didn’t have a reservation, but got 1 upon arrival around 2pm. We asked for the site with the best view and were given site 23 at Juniper. It did not disappoint!! Our site was pretty private & we had our own sunset viewpoint. It’s next to a trail, & nearby bathrooms with showers & trash dumps. Site included picnic table, fire pit, 2 food storage boxes, & is very spacious.
The weather in May was really nice imo. Not too cold at night with layers, & starts warming up quick in the morning. Bugs weren’t too bad. Heard coyotes howling night and day which was neat. No raccoons. Saw some lizards.
Just a heads up the drive is windy, I got carsick on the way down. Will be returning & hopefully trying some hikes next time!
*Site 13 & 15 also seemed like they had nice views! (:
GuideStaff at the visitor center/store were friendly. Sugarloaf had lots of sites to choose from. We had many neighbors (mostly RVs) but enough space between sites. Can’t blame the campsite for the guy who brought a tv & played it out loud lol. It was quiet by 10pm.
The weather was nice mid-April. Good amount of shade. Flat ground for tent. Picnic table, fire pit, bear box, nearby bathrooms & dumpsters.
The flying bugs / mosquitoes were out so come prepared. Only left with 1-2 bites = victory! We walked the “Nature Trail” through the campground & when we tried to sit they would swarm. But it was a nice short easy walk, where we saw a rabbit, turkeys, lizards, deer, & quails! Seems they have lots of hikes available. Had a great time!
TravelerGreat experience! Park staff was friendly and very helpful. There’s a good amount of space between campgrounds to allow for privacy. Lots of shaded spots. Multiple clean and flushable toilets and showers. Drinking water was murky, so bring water if you’re picky. Lots of foxtails in the grass, so be careful if bringing pets.
TravelerI was here in the month of May very quiet squirrels running around lots of birds I think there was only three or four people that it was during the week so there's that good cell service I have a 25 ft RV fit in the space fine.
GuideToilets are clean but is just a big parking spot you have to pay for the WiFi
TravelerLes endroits pour camping car sur SF sont très limités ! La ville ne s’y prête pas du tout. Environ 20 min du pont en voiture. Le parking est très étroits et bondé. Nous avions l’impression que les personnes présentes sur le camping y habitaient toute l’année.
GuideIt was a nice place to stay in between a lot of trees. We stayed at the side close to the highway so it was a bit noisy but not too bad. The people were friendly! It was a bit too pricey though. We paid around 100 bucks for a normal site, nothing fancy.
A little side information: if you allergic to pollen, especially trees you should be careful at the moment. The campsites are directly located under mulberry trees. They triggered severe hay fever symptoms in me.
GuideCheap and convenient. The area is kind of sketchy, but it worked for one night and we didn't have any trouble. Looks like there's a lot of people there who are overstaying the allowed number of days.
TravelerA safe, beautiful, affordable property to spend outdoors time on. Convenient sites with complete hookup and also restroom/showers handy. The 800+ acres of hills, woods and fields offers archery, disc golf, hiking, horseback riding and more. Very friendly, helpful staff. Bonus: short drive to Downtown Napa. Wish we had more time to spend there. Highly recommend!
