Camping in the Bay Area!?




Kevin T


im turning 21 in mid june and im looking for a campsite that a bunch of my friends and i can go and hang out at. im looking for a place near water whether that be a lake, river, or ocean. also this is a place to pitch a tent. not an rv park please. i live in san jose so within an hour or two would be preferable. ANY IDEAS? please help!


Answer
Coyote Lake park, just East of Gilroy has day use and overnight campsites. Technically, it is a lakeside campground, but, with the drought, the water level may be low enough that you'd have to hike a couple of hundred yards to the water. It's a county park.

The next nearest campground with water is probably New Brighton Beach, South of Santa Cruz, before Watosonville. The campgrounds won't be ON the beach, but on the bluffs above the beach. Francis Beach State Park is at Half Moon Bay, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. These two beaches absolutely require advanced reservations for campsites.

On the North Coast, there are a couple of beachside campgrounds at and near Bodega Bay, West of Petaluma and North of San Francisco, about an hour.

NOT near any water, there is a campground at Mt. Madonna, in the coastal hills West of Gilroy. Nice grounds, and, while not near the water, it is located at the summit, so a short walk can take you to an ocean view.

Overnight music Camp in the Bay Area?




Me


Hello!
I was wondering if anyone knows of an overnight music camp for teenagers. I'm 15 years old and I sing and play the drums, along with teaching myself the guitar. I would love to go to a "rock band music camp" this summer and I am allowed to as long as I find one in time.
I'd like to stay from 2 weeks to 6 weeks overnight, preferably in the bay area of California.
It can be at a college or a privately run camp. Price range up to $4,500 +/- (depending on how long the camp is).
Thank you very much!

Answer
Wow, pretty musical. I found one place in the bay.

In Santa Cruz on the University of California Santa Cruz; the camp itself isn't very long (about 5 days)

There are some other places but they they aren't overnight. If you're still interested in it anyways...
