We booked the site online a few months in advance. When we arrived the ranger directed us to the site area and explained that another ranger would be by to check us in and provide the keys. There are only 4 rv sites. Each rig has to park parallel to the curb. It doesn’t matter which direction, if you want your patio to face the bay or the picnic table area it’s up to you. The keys are for the water and the ranger unlocks the power. There is a small drop box at the electrical stand to leave the water key when you check out. Each site has 5 designated parking spaces, we are only 25’ so we fit just fine. There is no dump station and the ranger explained that the showers were not operating at the time. There are outside cold showers for swimmers if you want to rinse off in a bathing suite. The location on the bay is beautiful. There is some noise from the planes and the SPCA that is right by the sites. If there was a dump station it would be perfect. We still enjoyed our stay and the proximity to San Francisco.

From sunrise to about 1am, you will experience a constant flow of loud low flying planes landing into SFO.

From sunrise to about 1am, you will experience a constant flow of loud low flying planes landing into SFO. Our trailer, literally, will rumble as if we’re in an earthquake, when the bigger jets take off. We finally came up with an analogy that it’s like living next to an active volcano. The eruptions come at the rate of a dozen per hour. Only in the wee hours between 1 am and 5 did things quiet down.
I must say, though, the spectacle is fascinating, during the day, when you can watch these massive machines float a few hundred feet above the bay on their glide path to the runway. Oddly, I did not find it as annoying as places we’ve stayed where you can hear the freeway, or the park is next to train tracks.
And, even more annoying is the humane society works, right next to the Camp area. Barking dogs and crowing roosters were way more of a problem than the jet’s.
The wind has been relentless during our 4 night stay. But that has made for great sail board watching. This place packs in those enthusiasts, and it’s interesting to see.
There is only a 15 amp circuit for power. If you happen to use more then it can handle, and blow a breaker after 5pm, you’ll be out of luck for a reset until morning, when the staff arrive. You’ll need the correct adapter to plug your rig in.
We have yet to locate a dump station, but we will look again tomorrow.
There is a very nice walk, or bike path around the park. It heads up to the eucalyptus grove and goes by the CuriOdessey, which is a science exploratorium and zoo. There’s also plenty of miles to bike along the bay, if you are up for leaving the park and following the paved paths.
All in all, it’s not really great camping here. It’s really just a parking lot. But, there are some interesting things about the place. We will will probably never stay here again, but it’s not the worst place we’ve stayed.

Tried to make a reservation online and it appeared that no dates (ever!) were available for the 4 campsites, so we called them and they explained that the site is closed until further notice because "The Promenade" is being worked on.

We stayed here for the maximum of one week in October 2019 and really enjoyed the prime location to San Francisco.

We stayed here for the maximum of one week in October 2019 and really enjoyed the prime location to San Francisco. It’s very close to SFO airport so there is some noise but it was chilly on the bay and the noise didn’t bother us at all. It is $45 per night fee and there is a $7 reservation fee. Maximum space is 36 feet and there’s room to park a tow / toad vehicle in front. The RV spaces are basically just in a parking lot where the kite/wind surfers hang out, which was awesome to watch. There’s a HUGE playground behind the four RV spots which was busy on the weekend for birthday parties. The bathrooms are meh, no private shower stalls in the men’s. Water and 20AMP electric only, large cement picnic table with BBQ charcoal grill and there’s a dump station in the park a few minutes drive. The park rangers were all very friendly. The park itself is well maintained, there is a marina, CuriOdyssey (kids museum) board sports rental place. We enjoyed walking down the bay pathway watching the kite and wind surfers and planes overhead. The location is right near CA 101 and prime access to San Francisco: about 30min to Fisherman’s Wharf and 45min to Golden Gate Bridge! There’s yummy Chinese food nearby at Hot Wok Bistro and Safeway Grocery Store down the street. Several coin laundry mats as well. We would definitely stay here again! Have fun!
