Anthony Chabot, Marciel Staging Area — Hotel in San Leandro

Used to camp here all the time when I lived here and every time I visit ❤️😌can get really crowded on the weekends but can’t beat proximity to town, access to trails from base camp, and some of the lake views. Warning: the raccoons can be extremely brolic! Also, keep in mind that there is a public gun range nearby (idk who tf thought that was a good idea, seriously) but sometimes you can hear the firing in camp which could be a vibe kill...

Surprisingly large campground so close to the bay area - had no idea this was here. about 72 sites. Trees, nice facilities, hot showers. My main complaint is that there is a rule that there can only be 2 vehicles per camp site, even though the parking pads for each campsite can easily fit 3. It was frustrating to be told to park a camper van out of sight of my friends campsite in the overflow...

Overall is very good. But I don't like site 50 since it is very small like a day use picnic area. site 49 is small too. Site 50 has only flat ground closed to the road. You won't like to set your tent and sleep along the roadside. site 49 might be able to accommodate one 6 ppl tent only just closed to the table. The should have a photo or description to let people know before...
