There is no car camping available in the park. Please see other campgrounds for car camping opportunities available nearby in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and in California State Parks. Camping permits are required. You may make reservations in person 7 days a week at the Bear Valley Visitor Center. A credit card is required for phone reservations.
Payment is due at the time the reservation is made.
Once the payment has been made, the site is guaranteed for your stay. However, a permit must still be picked up before beginning your trip. Each campsite has a picnic table, food storage locker and a charcoal brazier. Each campground has pit toilets and a water faucet. Water may need to be treated using iodine tablets, boiling for one minute or filtering with a commercial filter.
