Re: s24 Suggestions in Marin? Leaving from SF?

[pb]

Given the time limit you describe, SP Taylor would be impossible.

 

If one were willing to camp illegally and discretely, one could simply ride up into the headlands or onto Tam. Or:

 

http://www.mttam.net/activities/camping.html  <-- pantoll might be ideal

 

http://www.westpointinn.com/about.htm <-- not camping, probably booked, well worthwhile

 

http://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/upload/sb-camping-2008.pdf <-- Tenessee Valley

 

Maybe research China Camp, or is there still camping on Angel Island?  Might be a stretch to get the ferry back to work.

:

Getting ready to do our first s24 north from San Francisco later this month. Any suggestions for good campspots? Leaving late afternoon, mid-week, and back to work the next a.m., so Sam Taylor seems a bit too far. Does this seem correct to anyone who has done this more often?

Would appreciate any suggestions on- or off-list.

Just remembered Rodeo ("Roe-day-oh") Beach and wondered if there was a campground there, which took me to:

 

http://www.goingoutside.com/beachdetail/1000286_Rodeo_Beach_California.html

 

-- interesting options there.  I'm concerned that you will find that everything is booked, and camping "wild" turns out to be what's available.  Are you willing to ride dirt?  It gets flattish at the top of Bobcat Trail in the headlands, maybe rummage around a bit on google earth.  I hope bicycles are still allowed in that area, better check with GGNRA so you don't get nailed just for being on a bike.  

 

Cheers,

Hawk camp is a free campsite super close. No water though .

I would second Hawk Camp at Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands. China Camp is about 30 miles from SF. So, that would be tough to get back in the morning for work unless you break camp super early (although you might could incorporate the ferry into your return trip).

I second Hawk Camp. It's easy to get to and fairly close although does
require riding on the dirt. If I still lived in SF I'd be out there
almost weekly.

So many good places...easy: Angel Island, like somebody suggested. Go to the site, register all legal-like, you'll need to take a ferry there (GET to take a ferry there is more like it)---and back to the mainland. Wonderful riding around there. Get a map and go. The tons and tons of firewood at one of the ranger's places is not guarded, and is totally burnable in the barbecues at the sites, but it's eucalyptus wood, and it does a bad number on meat. If you want to cook over fire....yikes, bring your own wood?
