Ain’t no party like a Mt.

Tamalpais camping party! That’s how the saying goes, right? The Alice Eastwood Group Campsite located on the Panoramic Highway near the Mountain Home Inn, has two large sites for group camping of 25 to 50 people. Each site has tables, grills, flush toilets, water faucets with sinks and a huge area to set up tents.

There is a path down to the John Muir Woods that is definitely worth the walk.

This campground is magic! It’s also expensive so make sure you have a big group chipping in. There are two group spots. Group A holds 50 people. There is a kitchen area with a huge grill and a large canopy covering a dining area. Group B holds 25 and has more privacy. We had Group A and had a ton of day hikers invading our site. It isn’t clear that the site is private so I highly suggest that you show up with ways to indicate that it isn’t public. We ended up making “Reserved” signs for all the tables. After a family invaded our Camp Dinner to complain, we had to rope off the stairs to the site. The restrooms are well maintained. The area is gorgeous! So many trails. We visited during a rain storm so there were waterfalls everywhere.

The group sites are very well equipped. Group A's site has a large sink w/ running water, fire pit, two bbq grills, large shelter with 4-5 picnic tables, 5-6 more picnic tables spread around the site, 2-3 cabinets to store supplies, and lots of good tent sites scattered over a large area surrounding the shelter. The center of the site is less than 100 ft. from the parking lot. If you're looking to rough it, this is not the place - it's more like glamping than camping. This is a central location for many hikes on Mt. Tam - 2.5 miles to Muir Woods, < 2 miles to Pantoll and the Steep Ravine trailhead, 2 miles to Bootjack, and 2 miles to the Dipsea trail. It'll cost you $200+ per night, but with room for 50 people, it's a deal.

The group campsites are awesome for a big gathering/quick escape from SF. Make sure you check have the gate's lock combination when you go. There's no cell-service when you get to the campsite, so send any last minute texts at the gate!

Your guide to camping in Alice Eastwood Group Campground

Overview

Biking

While Mount Tamalpais is the birthplace of mountain biking it also offers unparalleled options for road bikers (not to mention it can be quite the challenge as well!). For road bikers, the main challenges are the infamous seven sisters and the twisting road to the top while mountain bikers can enjoy the Coast View and Dias Ridge multi-use trails as well as park fire trails.

Fishing

If you bring your fishing gear to Mt. Tam, you could easily come home with dinner. Lakes in the park have catches such as bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. This is a wonderful place to go and “get away from it all,” all the while answering that rumbling in your stomach. Some of these reservoirs do have special guidelines, so be sure to read up before you go.

Hiking

There are more than 50 miles of trails within the park that connect to a much grander 200 mile trail system. The climb to the peak is an incredible journey that will be rewarded by stunning panorama views of the Bay Area. You know those days when the entire bay is foggy and cold? On those days, the peak of Mt. Tam rises majestically above the fogline only to be matched by its sister peak, Mt. Diablo across the bay. These foggy days may be our favorite time to hike the mountain - especially for sunrise! The Steep Ravine Trail is another favorite. You can start from Stinson Beach or the top at the Pantoll Ranger Station, either way you’ll be exploring the beautiful lush ravine with its waterfalls and old growth Redwoods. The shade protection makes this the perfect hike for a hot day. Reward yourself with a dip in the Pacific Ocean at the end! The hike up to Cataract Falls is another epic one There are also frequent guided hikes hosted by the amazing Friends of Mt Tam, open to the public.

Horseback riding

Mount Tamalpais is known for its beautiful views, and it can be even more beautiful when taken by horseback. Given the right day, you can see the Sierra Mountains and Farallon Islands in the distance. The park features a variety of trails, so saddle up!

Climbing

Mount Tamalpais is well suited for both novice and expert climbers. If you make it to the top, you won’t be disappointed - the peak features stunning views of the Pacific ocean. Climbing classes are available, and make sure you get an overview of the various routes.

Wildlife watching

Mount Tamalpais is a great place to see some of California’s wildlife . The park has more than 150 bird species along with deer, cats of prey and even the occasional gray whale spotted at Steep Ravine.
