This is a gem for people who need a good night's sleep. Even though there are only 3 RV camp sites, it's a beautiful place with lots of lavender bushes. Smells pretty. The park is huge and closes at dusk. I think across from the 3 spots you could probably park an rv if not too big and leave by 9am. Lots of health addicts doing runs, jogs, walks and some on skateboards. We drove all the way to the end and saw day use fishing and picnic tables. Use a national parks pass for free. Otherwise it's 12 bucks.
Beautiful walk with views of the straits and to contea costa north shore. Can be a relaxing slow walk or a more serious hike. We parked at the entrance and started the hike along the internal road, then climbed along the trail that circles the tall electric tower, real nice.
Great hikes along the largest strait in North America. Views of the urban wilderness interface. Abundant wildflowers in Spring.
It is an enjoyable walk. You have the option of walking on pavement the entire way or doing a couple loops venturing out into the wilderness a bit. I recommend the loops since it takes you further from the road noise.
Great park to explore with incredible views of the Carquinez Strait (where Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers meet). Nice views of Mt. Diablo and the Carquinez bridge too.
