Key Highlights

  • **Scenery**: Enjoy stunning panoramic views of the bay and cityscape, particularly on clear days.
  • **Location**: Positioned a scenic 1.5 to 2.6-mile hike uphill through Tennessee Valley trailhead, the journey itself is a delightful aspect of the camping experience, though challenging for new backpackers.

  • **Facilities**: Equipped with portable toilets which are maintained to a surprisingly clean standard.

Things to Consider

  • **Weather**: The area can become exceptionally windy and foggy, so prepare with adequate rain gear and warm clothing, even if the forecast is dry.
  • **Water Supply**: There is no water source at the campsite or nearby, so ensure to carry sufficient water.
  • **Sirens**: An audible reminder of proximity to urban spaces, though usually distant.

+1 star for having a bathroom portapotty +2 stars for having a beautiful view (when conditions are clear) -2 or 3 stars for having tent pits that flood in the rain; like, seriously? The campsite next to me and I both had to make an emergency evacuation in the wind and rain when both our tent sites flooded at 5am. Then the 3mi walk back in the wind and rain, perfect conditions for hypothermia. -1 star for not having any water source there or nearby. -1 star for the audible sirens in the vicinity

A beautiful campground just remote enough to make you feel like you’re away from it all, but close enough to the city to give some spectacular views. The hike to camp starts with a 1.5 mile constant uphill climb, so be ready for some good exercise. The campground is located in a clump of trees in an otherwise brush covered hillside, the trees provide some cover but they also cause some condensation and rain if it gets foggy, so bring rain protection even if it’s not forecasted. Waking up in a cloudy mist was a real treat! The portajohn was surprisingly clean, overall would go back for another night!

Peaceful campground with only 3 campsites. 2.6mi & 1.5hr uphill hike from the Tennessee Valley parking lot. This is a pretty decent hike for beginner backpackers. I would recommend campsite #1 & #2. O - flat tent site, picnic table, bear box, vault toilet (porta potty), phone reception (verizon) X - water

Two miles uphill to get there, be ready with proper backpacking or a cart. No water, one fairly clean restroom. The view and overall surrounding is okay but not wow

Really wonderful little campground. Incredible sweeping views of the bay and the city between some hills. Dress warmer than you might expect, it gets very windy and foggy. The walk in from Tennessee valley trailhead is uphill for 2 miles, but not much of a challenge. This would be a great outing for beginner backpackers. Amenities included nice flat tent sites, picnic tables, and a bear box at each site. Toilet is a porta potty.
