About Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park

A few miles from Oakland, 150-foot coast redwoods rise from land that was clear-cut during the 1850s logging boom. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park has three group campsites (hike-in only) and nearly 40 miles of trails threading through redwood groves, chaparral slopes, and grasslands. The park sits at 981 feet elevation and accommodates groups of 25 to 50 people.

The campground primarily caters to group camping, with three designated group sites: Fern Dell, Girl's Camp, and Trail's End.

Historical Significance

Gold Rush loggers nearly stripped these hills bare in the mid-1800s, harvesting ancient redwoods to build booming Bay Area cities. The current forest is second-growth, now reaching 150 feet where the original giants once stood.

Natural Features and SceneryThe park has multiple California ecosystems in close proximity. Coast redwoods dominate the cool, damp groves, where ferns and sorrel carpet the understory and filtered light creates the classic cathedral effect. Chaparral slopes feature manzanita and coyote brush. Open grasslands turn golden in summer. Deer, raccoons, rabbits, and squirrels are common. Patient visitors occasionally spot golden eagles overhead or the Alameda striped racer, a snake species found nowhere else.

Geological RegionWhere ancient forests once stood before the logging boom of the 1850s, a new generation of coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) now reaches 150 feet toward the sky, creating one of the Bay Area's most accessible old-growth experiences. This remarkable ecosystem showcases nature's diversity across multiple habitats—from the cool, damp redwood understory carpeted with ferns and sorrel, to hardy chaparral slopes adorned with manzanita and coyote brush, to open grasslands that turn golden in summer. Each zone supports its own unique community of plants and animals, making the park a living laboratory of California's natural heritage.

Scenic ViewsReviews highlight breathtaking views including shaded trails, butterflies, flora, and views of surrounding cities.

Go if

Groups of 20-50 who want genuine forest immersion without driving far from the Bay Area. Fern Dell is the pick for larger parties needing restroom access nearby, and spring puts the understory at its best. Free with a reservation through EBRPD.

Skip if

Solo or couples camping is off the table entirely; these are group-only sites. The quarter-mile gear haul from the parking lot is real, and with no cell service anywhere in the park, anyone counting on staying reachable needs to plan accordingly.

Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve

2950 Peralta Oaks Court, Oakland , California, 94609, United States

Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve sits atop the tilted Round Top volcano complex in the Berkeley Hills, offering two primitive tent sites just a 0.2-mile hike from the trailhead. Campers pay $25-$40 per night for sweeping 180-degree views stretching from Mount Diablo to Volmer Peak and Tilden Park. The preserve includes an ADA-accessible picnic table, serving table, and pit toilet. Cell reception is spotty, and finding the campground in the dark can be challenging.
