Beautiful trees and wonderful California charm. The campsites were decently located.
$30/night for me and my old dog. Just out side San Fransisco. I needed a place to stay between Eureka and Vegas to break up the drive.
$35 - $165 / night
Was unable to get front-row beach view, but was still totally worth it for dog- walks.
$7 - $25 / night
The Pantoll campground is up on Mount Tam which rises up above San Francisco.
I believe there's a rule that you're not supposed to park more than 8 hours at a rest area in California, but I'm not sure if that's enforced
We nestled our Sprinter between to large pine trees and took the dog for a walk.
If the purpose of your visit is to explore San Francisco this is a great spot from which to base yourself and not really a destination in of

Now my wife and I, and or my dogs and I will come up for a last minute Stay-Cation.
I have only stayed at the Juniper Campground.
Loved the off lease dog area! Will return.
ScoutLoved camping here! So peaceful, easily accessible from San Francisco
TravelerBeen coming here since I was little. Very beautiful and not too far from San Francisco.
GuideAn excellent place to camp that's just minutes away from San Francisco. Trails are well kept and maintained.
ScoutThis is a beautiful campsite. It is not too far from San Francisco, so a great way to escape the city. Highly recommend!
ScoutWent to Sam Taylor because it wasn't too far away from San Francisco - it was a surprisingly great area! Thanks to Questival for forcing us to get out!
GuideLove the camp ground and the staff. The spaces are nice. Lots of things to keep kiddo’s busy. It’s not to far from San Francisco without having to go into town with your rig. There is a regular mall and a outlet mall just down the road a bit
LegendVery easy to get to from San Francisco. We had amazing views of the bridge and the city and were lucky enough to have a clear day (which is rare in SF!). We biked across the Golden Gate bridge and back. We hung out on the beach and had amazing views of the Golden Gate bridge from there. We had a great time in this area and would definitely recommend.
TravelerFamily friendly, easy hiking, creek running through, clean but old bathrooms, spacious sites, only 2 bathrooms with showers, a few steep hills, rangers and small camp store on site. About 20 mins from small town, about 1/2 hr from Pescadero State Beach, about 45 mins from Half Moon Bay, about an hour from San Francisco…all estimates without traffic, of course. Some sites are very private, some right on top of each other.
LegendI first stayed here as a kid decades ago, but some things never change. Love having this close-in spot; the trailhead is only minutes from San Francisco. The walk to Tennessee Beach is very flat and level and doable for kids. The campground is off on a slight detour but it’s an easy starting spot for hike-in camping.
Mornings can get foggy here, so bring a sweatshirt regardless of the season. Pack in the water you need (if push comes to shove you can head back to the main trail to get more). Sites are level and well marked.
