Camping & Backpacking the San Francisco Bay Area is the first and only guide to fully explore the Bay Area's campgrounds and backpacking trips, and to describe the best overnight excursions for locals and visitors alike. Every public campground in the North Bay, East Bay, South Bay, and Santa Cruz Mountains is included (more than two dozen unique destinations). For backpacking trips, more than 30 backcountry trail camps and more than 200 miles of trail are featured. With the multitude of governing agencies, regulations, reservation systems, and camping options in the Bay Area, planning a trip can be daunting. Matt Heid simplifies an overnight getaway with this comprehensive guide and includes: • In-depth descriptions of campgrounds, driving directions, facilities, parking, regulations, and fees. • Hiking and mountain biking routes and other fun activities for individuals and families near campgrounds. • Backpack trips complete with mile-by-mile route descriptions, planning information, and detailed topographic maps. • Indispensable tips for when it's best to go; where the serenity, beauty, and ecodiversity are greatest; and how to avoid crowds and make reservations.
