China Camp Back Ranch Meadows Campground Entrance

Ardfor bike good place

Great bike ride from the city

Great trails for social rides, and areas for hiking, camping, nature walks. More technical riding available for those in need of something more challenging than the calm loop. Make sure to support FoCC to keep this great park open and cared for!

Poison Oak! If you don't mind it, it's gorgeous here.

This place if a very good option especially if you need to be in San Francisco the next morning. I was able to get a reservation for the fourth of july, and it really exceeded my expectations. Please note: this is a walk-in campground, just a short walk really from the parking lot, where you will find some carts and re-purposed garbage bins, which are a real help especially if you are in the upper sites. My only quibble: the showers require many many more quarters than the sign indicates. That said, there are free cold showers in the beach day use area. Tip: if you are going out at night, get the combination to the gate, as it may be locked when you return.
