Great variety of outdoor activities. Nice views of the bay. Eucalyptus surrounded picnic areas, beach, rocky cove with tide pools, great playground. Everything very clean and accessible. Spent three hours with 5 and 7 year old kids and they were never bored. Planned on trying the museum but no need. Will go next time. Seems like ideal spot for birthdays with huge picnic areas with lots of tables. Bring layers since one side of the park can get quite windy and the other side not windy at all. Great for families.

We stayed in the camp site. Staff here is very friendly. There are 4 sites, all to one side of the parking lot, between the playground and the bay. Each camp site has a picnic table and is separated from the other sites by short bushes and rocks. The airport is just down the street, and you can hear the airplanes nearly constantly, which you get used to. You need to have access to your own bathroom in your camper, as the closest bathroom is only opened 8am - 5pm. The showers are push operated, and the water is lukewarm. (It does take a few pushes before it heats up). The women’s bathroom has stall doors, the men’s only has 4 foot barriers between the showers, with no stalls. There are water hook ups and electrical hook up, see photos as there were other campers that didn’t have the correct plug. There is currently no sewer or grey water dump. Park itself is very nice, great walks, and the kids enjoyed the playground. It is close to the freeway which is nice.

I came here before but this time I took a bus instead of driving and realized it's free if you walk in. But it's better suited for family visits, so driving is the most ideal transportation, I would say. I walked almost 20 minutes from the closest 292 bus stop. I wanted to do a solo hike, so it's fine for me. You can see the airplanes landing into SFO from the beachside. And there are many people camping on the beach, so don't forget to bring your most comfortable tent or sunshade. There are also places for BBQ. Reservations are required, I assume. On the other side, there is a harbor. I see visitors with their puppies and other families with their children cycling. Multiple clean restrooms in the park.

Fun to walk by the beach and watch the planes arriving to SFO! Great picnic spot and they have BBQs too. Seems like a great place for families - they have a large playground area.
