About This Campsite

Angel Island East Bay Sites

Angel Island East Bay Sites offers a serene camping experience with picturesque views of the East Bay area. This location is a haven for nature lovers who wish to explore the beauty and tranquil environment of Angel Island.

Camping Tips and Highlights:

  • All campsites provide remarkable views, with east-facing sites offering glimpses of the Bay.
  • Most sites, especially site #3, can be windy and lack level ground for tents, so it's advisable to bring a tent suited for uneven terrain.
  • Consider using a wagon to help transport your gear due to the trail conditions and possible lack of access to flat areas.
  • Potable water is available but may have a distinct taste or smell – it's recommended to bring your own water if you are sensitive to this.
  • There's a nostalgic charm to the outhouses, with some mentioning a somewhat eerie vibe due to their rustic appearance.
  • Wildlife is present, with previous campers noting signs of coyotes and warning about the presence of raccoons, so be sure to secure your food.

Overall Thoughts:

Camping at Angel Island East Bay Sites is ideal for those seeking a weekend escape or a day trip filled with hiking and panoramic viewpoints. While some amenities might not match modern expectations (like water taste and ground leveling), the stunning vistas and peaceful setting more than compensate for these minor imperfections. Enjoy the quiet after the last ferry departs, leaving the island mainly to campers.

Stayed at campsite #2 in late June during a uncommon heat wave which made the weather very pleasant while camping. We had no winds at the campsite itself but on the other side of the island there was plenty wind. Mt. Livermore barely had winds. Please note the tent sites campsite #2 isn't leveled either. It's definitely not steeped sloped like I saw it campsite #3. There are two tent sites at campsite 2, both of which are slightly sloped if you look closely. We brought our backpacking tent so it wasn't that large but I still found myself sliding to my partner in the tent. The water provided, whether in the spigot or water spout has a taste and smell to it. We were a bit sensitive to it and it altered the taste of our food as we used the water to cook. Coffee didn't taste the same either. Trash cans in front of site, as well. The view from site 2 isn't fully open but you get a little bit looking towards East Bay. I've included a picture of the view from site 2. No good trees to put up hammocks, either. Didn't see any racoons but.we had our food locked up and we were vigilant. Overall I think one night camping at Angel Island is enough. It's such a bummer that the sites aren't leveled and water has an aftertaste. The best part was hiking up to Mt Livermore for sunset. There are picnic tables at the top as well so perfect to make dinner (if it's not windy).

We stayed for 2 nites @ the East Bay Site #3. Our reservation was for 3 nites but due to the windy conditions and exposure of site 3 we opted out a day early. Site 3 has apparently gone through some transformations over the years as I look back over some previous photos posted. There is not a single flat area to pitch a tent nor is there any shade. The views of the East Bay- hence the camp name are great. To say we were blown away is an understatement (pun intended). There were numerous downed trees as well which is an indication of how windy and exposed the area is. The camp site #2 was perfect. It has 2 large flat and level tent pads and shade. Less exposure to the fierce winds that blew non stop for our trip this July. There is m potable piped water (strong smell of sulfur), garbage and even recycling available. The primitive looking and somewhat creepy vibe of an outhouse is directly across from site #2. Still trying to figure out why the NPS chose this motif? Straight out of a horror movie. It looked like it was going to fall down in its ram shackled , shingle sided walls and leaf littered roofline. A big spider web spanning the entire building completed the look. Camp site 1 had plenty of room for multiple tents and 2 tables. It is located at a dead end. Which makes for a very private feel. There was less exposure to wind and sun as well. Small view of the East Bay. I saw one lone coyote running down the hillside from site 1 in the early evening. There is plenty of coyote evidence in the area which may explain why we did not encounter a single masked bandit (raccoons) while camping. I was concerned about the raccoon's given all the previous reviews. We hiked over to sites 7, 8 & 9 a short distance from our site.And they were indeed flat, exposed, spaced closely together and had lovely views just as previous reviews have stated. The outhouse was clean and not creepy at all. There was no piped water but the NPS had provided water containers for each site. Same garbage and recycle containers as before. Overall the experience was vaguely familiar of climbing Mt Shasta, great effort and great views with lots of wind and sun burns. Did I mention we brought a wagon?

Site 1 large. Site 2 is flat. Site 3 has a harsh incline. Great views. After the last ferry leaves it just the campers!! (Possibly boat owners) Don't forget to put your food in the or the raccoons will get it. No dogs allowed unfortunately.

We stayed in site 2 which was decently well shaded but still had views of the Bay from our tent (pictured). Enough flat space for two large tents at least. Water was out but they supplied a full five gallon jug. Site 3 was a bit more exposed but had views of downtown SF. We were able to get our jogging stroller all the way there without a problem. Had a great time.

Site #3. NO flat ground, no shade. ONLY the picnic table is on flat ground. Site #3 does have a nice view though. Site #1 or Site #2 are very nice. There is water from a faucet but it smells like "hose water". There is also an outhouse. The TP is nice.
