Anthony Chabot, Marciel Staging Area

Holy cow, this is in the middle of the mess called the Bay Area?! Very nice park that seems way outside of a busy area, but is right next to it. The roads to get to the campground are rather curvy, so it takes a while longer than expected to get down into town if you need to go, so try not to forget anything but the stress of being in the middle of the East Bay!

Surprisingly large campground so close to the bay area - had no idea this was here. about 72 sites. Trees, nice facilities, hot showers. My main complaint is that there is a rule that there can only be 2 vehicles per camp site, even though the parking pads for each campsite can easily fit 3. It was frustrating to be told to park a camper van out of sight of my friends campsite in the overflow camping area.

Sites 18-20 have a great view of the lake.
Well maintained, clean. Make reservations as this place gets busy.

The rv sites are within audio distance of the gun range so you can hear the pops in the distance.

Beautiful views of the lake. The trails were really cool they wrapped around the mountain and lake leading to the marina and golf course. There were also many other trails so I never got bored. Hot Showers and clean toilets need i say more. Also the staff is super nice so its just pleasant all around expedience.
