It's a dry camp, but there's a water filling station down the hill, at the visitor center. The view of the Golden Gate Bridge through the trees is beautiful. Very sandy.

Very quiet place with a nice view on Golden Gate Bridge!

Had a great time, but my only concern was that the information on parking was NOT clear beforehand. The signs at the campground parking lot say "NO PARKING ANY TIME", and the information board at the campsite says "print your reservation and place it on your dashboard", but there was no mention of this when I booked the site. I can't very well print my reservation while I'm at the campsite!I wrote my reservation details on a piece of paper and left it on the dash of my car and all was well, but I would suggest better documentation on the procedure when someone books the site.

I had a Jeep with the tent on the roof, I could not access to the campground, can I have my money back?

Awesome campground below the Bicentennial picnic site. Golden Gate Bridge can be seen from both the campground and the picnic area. The path from the parking area to the campsites is not long, but a wheely picnic cart would help. Remember no campfires allowed!

Great campground!! Would definitely recommend if you're intrested in a campground with a great view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Beautiful little spot surrounded by old growth.very moist and green with views of the golden gate.There are only 3 spots right next to eachother so no privacy. And you have to walk all your gear about 100 yards from parking to camp.The reason I gave this review. Only 2 stars is because a massive tree broke and almost killed us. Landing on our tent and campsite.we were not helped or offered anything for this happening.instead the ranger tells us that cannabis is illegal on federal land???wtfThis is the most cannabis friendly city in the country and we were almost just killed in the campsite. And this is what he chooses to say to us and then leave without helping. The place is beautiful, but the trees and Rangers can be dangerous.

The portable toilet is fully loaded! On the log book it indicates that the last time it was cleaned was 2023 Nov. That's almost one and a half months. It was too disgusting and smells badly that we have too walk up the steep slope midnight to go to the bathroom in the picnic area.
@TarynB27EE5087 · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #2
Absolutely stunning views, you do have to walk down a steep hill with all your gear, but it's pretty short. The sites are all fairly close and there's no privacy since the middle of the campground is an open field. Would have given it a 5 if it weren't for the overflowing port a port we went up to the picnic area right above the campground to use the built in pit toilet.
@THOMASF4323684 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #2
you cant get a better location just outside of San Francisco than this Campground. However you have to walk a bit from the car to the Campground location and the toilets wihout water are located up the hil at the picknick area.

I was all ready to stay in that beautiful campground. I was on a solo trip and no other sole came to camp even though the other 2 sites were reserved. Got too scared and never stayed both nights. Stayed in hotels.
@DeirdraE469406 · Camped on Mar 23, 2023 at Campsite #2
Great view, nothing wrong with the campground. Make sure you print your confirmation beforehand. I thought it was a little hard to find the campground itself once we got up there and there was very little service. If the weather says no wind, be prepared for wind. We were not and subsequently had to sleep in the car after the tent almost blew away with us in it at 3am.
@TaraB7135282 · Camped on Nov 24, 2022 at Campsite #2
The weather was beautiful for Thanksgiving and the views were clear. The campsite could use a new coal bucket, as the one provided had a burnt, rusted out bottom. Did some picking up of small litter here and there but overall the experience was excellent. There are only 3 campsite, close together, but everyone was friendly and courteous. Campsite 3 had a view of the Golden Gate Bridge through the trees. Campsite 2 (our camp) was in the sun for most of the day (at the end of Nov) which we liked because it got chilly in the shade. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Campground was awesome, great views of the Golden Gate, within walking/hiking distance of major Marin Headland attractions. Single porta potty was very clean & located away from campsites so you could not smell it at all. Long walk to/from campground & uphill going out, recommend a wagon if you have more than you can carry down in one load. Only real complaint was the campground’s proximity to the picnic area above the campground & people making lots of noise/playing music/partying early in the morning & middle of the night. We stayed at site 2 & it was great, but #3 is for sure the best!

The campground was amazing and a great location to see San Francisco. Some pro tips: Bring earplugs in case the fog horn goes off at night; Check when Point Bonita lighthouse trail is open as of now it is 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm F to M. There are large metal bear boxes to store all your stuffs.
@PamelaP6535937 · Camped on Oct 3, 2022 at Campsite #2
The view of the bridge is beautiful and the campground is well taken care of.
@KiY5F2C9B14432 · Camped on Aug 22, 2022 at Campsite #2
The camping site is located at nice. cozy and private area.
@SusanM8574216 · Camped on Aug 15, 2022 at Campsite #2
The camp was clean and easy to access- but there should be mention of the intense fog horns that were super loud ALL night long.
@JackieM7333ED1 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #2
Cute, small campground with great views. Plan for fog. Highly recommend taking a visit to the nearby Marine Mammal Center while you are here!
@SarahB5025907 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022 at Campsite #2
A steep decent into the small campground. Foggy during the day, but wonderful and a gorgeous view as the sunsets. We can see the GGB from our campsite. We loved our stay :) Toilet very full w/out toilet paper. Bring your own, + Water.
@EmilyH5510816 · Camped on May 13, 2022 at Campsite #2
Great location to explore the area. Bring ear plugs for the fog horns :)
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on May 8, 2022 at Campsite #2
This little campsite is way out there, but also quite close to civilization! Tucked into a little hollow, it was protected from the wind. We had a very persistent raccoon friend, so make sure to keep EVERYTHING in the bear box. Sweet little gem. Wish there were more places like it close to urban areas like this.
@BobC3980695 · Camped on Mar 31, 2022 at Campsite #2
Probably the most beautiful views of any campground in the Bay Area. Only 3 sites, so sometimes you can get to know your neighbors. There are many walks/hikes nearby, and one can be in Sausalito or Mill Valley in about 15 minutes. This was a repeat visit for all too obvious reasons.
@RachelS7300077 · Camped on Feb 25, 2022 at Campsite #2
Beautiful campsite. Very green, apparently there was poison oak around the outskirts, but altogether staying at the campsites we had 3 kids/toddlers and they wandered around and were fine! Toilets were clean and managed. Campsites were clean, it is a beautiful area.
@JeffreyG774093 · Camped on Jan 31, 2022 at Campsite #2
Beat spot in San Francisco. Great views of the bridge, get to explore the old forts at night. Nice and quiet. Camping pads were legit. Sure theres a 200 foot walk downhill to the sites, but its well worth it. Dont miss out.
