Get away from it all...while staying close to home at this relatively unknown park in Marin.
"The park has 1,640 acres of natural watershed along the shores of San Francisco Bay. Features include an extensive intertidal salt marsh, meadow and oak habitats, that are home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, squirrels and numerous birds. A Chinese shrimp-fishing village thrived on this site in the 1880s. Nearly 500 people, originally from Canton, China, lived in the village. In its heyday, there were three general stores, a marine supply store and a barber shop."
China Camp with up to 15 miles of uncrowded multiuse trails. Most trails are multi-use. A few are designated hiking-only. Dogs are not permitted. For day use, the park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset.
Back Ranch Meadows Campground has 30 walk-in tent sites (a few with Bay views). There are picnic tables, food lockers, fire rings, water, flush toilets, and hot showers.
Take 101 N. to San Rafael. From there, head 3 miles North to N. San Pedro Rd.; then head east 3 miles to the entrance.
$15 per night Sun-Thu, $16 Fri-Sat.
