11 campgrounds with availability next weekend
RV parks around Larkspur provide varying levels of accommodation with several offering full hookups for larger motorhomes. Marin RV Park in Greenbrae features 87 level gravel sites with electric, water, sewer, and 50-amp service, though spaces are tightly configured for big rigs with slides. A visitor commented, "The spots are narrow specially if you have slides out," highlighting the space constraints common in Bay Area RV parks. San Francisco RV Resort in Pacifica sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean with full hookup sites including 50-amp service, while Novato RV Park offers big-rig friendly spaces with water and sewer connections approximately 15 miles north of Larkspur.
The proximity to San Francisco makes these RV parks considerably more expensive than comparable facilities in less urban settings, with oceanview sites commanding premium rates exceeding $130 per night. Most parks in the region remain open year-round, though advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer and holiday periods. Ferry access to San Francisco is available within walking distance of Marin RV Park, making it a convenient base for city exploration without navigating an RV through urban traffic. Park amenities vary widely, with some offering swimming pools, hot tubs, and laundry facilities, while all provide basic services including dump stations, trash disposal, and shower facilities. Cell service is generally excellent throughout the area, and pets are permitted at most locations with standard restrictions.

TravelerGreat site! We have camped here more than any other sites in the Bay Area. Clean bathroom

Water activities: 30-minute access from Marin RV Park to beaches and coastal recreation areas. Several campers mention convenient water activities. "A short 10 minute walk from the RV park is the ferry that will drop you off downtown San Francisco," notes Jeff T. about Marin RV Park.
Urban exploration: Public transit available with connections to major Bay Area attractions. "Drive in, park and then walk to all the sights you want to see in San Francisco," suggests a visitor at Marin RV Park. At Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park, "Wake up in the morning to either fog or bright warm sun overlooking a very sleepy Glassy harbor with fishing boats bobbing in the docks," according to Duranne C.
Coastal hiking: 15-20 minute drive to multiple trailheads from RV parks in Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. "Nice trail to walk along the water and cliff, nice restoration project going," mentions one camper at Pillar Point RV Park, which offers beach access paths with minimal elevation gain suitable for casual walkers.
Convenient transportation options: Ferry service and public transit reduce driving stress while exploring San Francisco. "We spent a week here and only drove when we wanted the experience driving down Lombard St and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge. Otherwise we took the ferry and then public transportation to all other points of interest," explains Jeff T. at Marin RV Park.
Coastal wildlife viewing: Several parks offer opportunities to observe marine wildlife from shoreline positions. "When it's clear you can see the farralon islands 30 miles offshore," reports Tom H. at San Francisco RV Resort. Another camper adds, "We even saw whales!! The sunset was pretty killer, too."
Grocery access: Full-service supermarkets within walking distance of multiple RV parks. "There's also a grocery store and a gas station right around the corner, which is convenient," notes Luc M. "Trader Joe's and Chevron a few blocks away," mentions Kathy S. about Marin RV Park facilities.
Space constraints: Most RV parks feature compact sites with minimal separation between rigs. "Sites are narrow specially if you have slides out," explains Jean-Yves P. about Marin RV Park. At San Francisco RV Resort, Mike M. observes, "Very nice park for an on the water location, I've been to some where you can't even turn without hitting someone."
Cost considerations: Bay Area RV parks charge premium rates compared to other California regions. "For what this RV park is designed to be, it is done very well. It's a parking lot with full hookups strategically located to public transit direct to San Francisco," notes David M. about Novato RV Park.
Reservation requirements: Book 3-6 months in advance for summer stays, 2-3 months for spring and fall. Most parks allow online reservations with varying cancellation policies.

Beach access options: Multiple parks offer walking routes to beaches suitable for children. "Walking distance to shops and restaurants, walking and bike trails, beach access, and friendly staff!" notes Raven P. at Pillar Point RV Park. The park sits directly adjacent to coastal access points.
Activity limitations: Some parks restrict recreational options for children. At Bodega Bay RV Park, a visitor notes: "No bike riding or scooting, so we had to walk them to the walking path. They also mention a few times about well behaved children."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campsites more than others. "The noise not a problem" at Tradewinds RV Park according to Mike H., though other campers note highway noise at certain parks. "Sleeping near a highway is a little loud at night," mentions Jesus R. at Pillar Point RV Park.

Parking maneuverability: Limited space requires careful navigation for larger rigs with slides. "Every spot he put me in wasn't long enough for the trailer alone. I may have been able to back into the spaces but would've been hanging out a bit," reports one camper about the challenging conditions at certain facilities.
Laundry facilities: Machine availability varies significantly between parks. "Laundry has 3 washers and 3 dryers. Prices are high but normal for CA," notes a camper at Bodega Bay RV Park. Others report inconsistent functioning of laundry equipment, so having backup plans for laundry needs is advisable.
