Reviews of China Camp State Park
"Lovely nature area nestled around the edge of the bay between west Marin & the east bay. Also has old, abandoned Chinese fishing village buildings and some signage describing such. Many paths for walking, hiking, bicycling. Often see one or several people kayaking, paddleboarding or using a small sailboat or occassionally motorboat. One of my favorite places to enjoy my qigong practice outdoors with relative privacy."
"We've been going to China Camp since the 70's. Much more restrictive now but for good reason. Good the the Parks system taking after the place. The scenery, bay, and wildlife give off great vibes. Good place to take your dogs and have a family picnic."
"We saw a bunch of turkeys in the morning! Looked like 3 different types. Very cool. Great views."
"Historic, beautiful, and a nice place to stop and have a snack. Lots of people riding bikes, so be aware while driving. Most parking and picnic areas ask $5 self-pay. A lot of people park off the main road and ride bikes, I stopped by the Ranger Station and purchased a trail pass since this park receives no funding!"
