first come first serve dog-friendly campgrounds with the friendliest park rangers! there's free wifi at the pantoll ranger station and they also sell firewood for $10 per bundle. we stayed at campsite 6 and loved it! the only downside was being able to see/hear the parking lot down below us. the sites on top of the hill (site 11) seem like the better choice if you want to be more secluded and farther away from the parking lot. fresh, potable drinking water spouts are available near all sites and the campsite itself is in a great location - close to several hiking trails. come early on a friday morning if you plan to stay for the weekend! early as in before 9am if you want to claim a spot.

If you have young kids and you want to take them somewhere for quick and easy camping trip, Pantoll Campground is a great choice. It's not far from the Hwy 101 in Marin County but you leave the city behind as you drive up Mt. Tam and the scenery changes quickly. This spot is popular so it's a great choice for a last minute weeknight in the summer or weekend in the winter. It's also nearby the coast and some great hiking trails on Mt. Tam. NOTE - it's a hillside campground and you may have to schlep your stuff up the hill to your campsite. Enjoy!

We camped January 1 and 2. No problem getting a spot at 3pm . Ranger was very nice. Parking can be tricky but we got a spot right away. We camped in #8. Did a day hike toward on easy grade trail toward boot jack. Great views of the bay. Did a night hike to same spot to see the lights. Next day hiked dipsea Matt Davis trail loop, fantastic.

We parked here and started hiking to the Stinson beach. It is a 6 mile round trip trail but it is definitely worth it with the amazing views.

Great camping location that is surrounded by many trails. This campground is first come first serve. There are 16 campgrounds with plenty of space from each other. There is one handicap spot very close to the parking lot. You leave your car in the parking lot and move your camping gear to the camping spot, it is close by, unless you pick the campground that is high up the hill and want to be more secluded. The range office is there too so you can pay and ask questions to the officer. You can buy wood there (if I remember, the office is closed on Tuesday, call to make sure). There are 4 clean restrooms (flushable toilet, no shower head). The individual campground space is also great...it has flat surface to place your tent, one big fire pit, one grilling station, locker to store things (you need to bring your own lock), a picnic bench and plenty of room within your camping site. Campgrounds are clean and surrounded by tall trees. It is beautiful to wake up to birds chirping and sunlight in the morning. It is quiet at night...I went during the week days. I would definitely go back and camp at Pantoll Campgrounds.
