Only a half hour out of the city, and a fifteen minute walk from the nearest parking lot, this campsite is as convenient as it is remote-feeling. No campfires, so bring a camp stove. Or lots of powerbars. Alternatively, bring your raw foodist friends and tell them you will waive their portion of the site cost (which doesn't exist) if they purchase, carry, and prepare all meals.

Minus one star for the appearance of the port-a-potties that accompany the site. Plus a half a star for the existence of the port-a-potties and the fact that they smell less poopy than most.

Bring warm clothes -- it gets foggy and damp and cold.

Speaking of poop, when I arrived at the site I was greeted by a gaggle of pre-teen boys who were apparently camping out at site 1 (of 5), under the care of an employee of GGNRA (Golden Gate National Riffle Association -- wait, no, that's not quite right.... ahh, close enough). As we approached the site:

A boy bursts out of port-a-potty #2 screaming: "Eeeewwwww..... there's a turd the size of a dead rat!"

I'm assuming this was the clever young lad's way of disowning the fact that he had just produced said turd. (whoever smelt it dealt it, my son). Clever boy.

In any case, I stuck to port-a-potty #3, which I found to be quite suitable.
