★★★★Adam FainBest and only single track in Marin, glad it’s here, great flow track!
★★★★★G BGreat job on those trails which are more challenging than advertised. Rock gardens, narrow lines, tree roots and leaning trees. You have to work for the prize - the flow portion. I would do some trail maintenance to get rid of spiky roots but overall the trail system is great and well worth the $6 fee.
★★★★★Brent WarnerWow! This place is unreal and amazing. Pro tip: If it’s your first time going to the camp, when you see the signs that say, “private road”, don’t be alarmed you’re heading in the right direction. We almost turned around, but keep going. Once you hit the dirt road - you’re getting closer. This place has multiple camp sites, and made such an enjoyable camping experience. We had a great chance to roam around and explore!
★★★★Anthony PrinzeLots of views, easily accessible hikes/trails. Would be a good project for a local troop to fix up some of the doors, camp sites.
★★★★Joseph PotthastThis is a nice little campground for scout units to come stay at. It's located near town so it's convenient to get to but it still feels like an little place set away from the city and allows you to get away. Very windy when I was there in the beginning of May.
