What Guests Are Saying

Haypress Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful retreat, with stunning views and great hiking trails nearby. The site is clean and well-maintained, providing a quiet atmosphere for relaxation, though some amenities like toilets were limited during busy times. Visitors recommend bringing water and being prepared for potential sloping tent pads, but overall, it's a memorable experience close to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Great small campground, very close (0.7mi) to trail parking. About 5 spots starting with #1 nearest to camp entrance/bathrooms stretching to #5 toward the rear of the camp. Very quiet @ night with active owls, squeaking trees and rustling leaves. Highway by Marin can be perceptible depending on temperature and winds.

No Fire Campground - Will get very dark @ night. Moonlit only.

We just had a quick one night stay to test equipment for an upcoming trek to Zion so didn’t get much time to explore trails or get to the ocean. The campsite was really nice as were the bathrooms. Unfortunately the group campsite had a large group that were partying with loud voices, drunkenness and loud music. They were kind enough to lower the noise when asked, but it still was disturbing to the experience. It would be nice to not allow amplified sounds/music in state parks/camps.

Unfortunately there were 5 cars in the hike in only campground and our site #5 did not have a table. I reported these things to the park and spoke with REC GOV and received a refund. The service was very good.

The 1 mile walk seems to be much more When you have to carry things for camping .. good, quiet and many animals, several rabbits jumping along the trail.. It won't be my choice next time, but if you are willing to do that, go ahead. It will be a great experience
