Redwood city ca .......

Need a campground near redwood city CA for a night or two at the end of Feb early March. I have never been in the area so I don't have any idea. Any recommendations.
  • Trailer Villa is the only game in town.

  • Check Coyote Point Recreation Area, they have 3 reservable sites along the bay. $45 a night, 20 amp service. http://parks.smcgov.org/coyote-point-recreation-area-reservable-facilities
  • Depending on how close you NEED to be: Mapleleaf RV park in Morgan Hill is a lovely short stay and residential park. Probably about a half hour to Redwood City,it was 10 minutes from San Jose. My son used it as a basecamp for an extended stay early this year. Nice quiet town, good restaurants, right off the freeway...but traffic toward SF can be rough.

    Very optimistic travel times; I live in the south end of SJ, and it takes me 25-30 minutes to get to and from (the dump at) Maple Leaf from here, and that's between roughly 10-3. If the OP stays at Maple Leaf, I would tell him/her to plan on at least 40-45 minutes (or more, depending on *where* in RC he/she needs to be and when he/she needs to be there) between there and Redwood City.

    Trailer Villa is not *fancy* (neither is Maple Leaf, for that matter!), but if reservations are available, I believe it's a better location.
  • Thank you Folks!!!!! Like I said I have never been in that area and do not have a clue what is available. I will research further but definitely will keep your info in mind
  • Great tips so far except the Morgan Hill one that is a trek. You may be better off staying out on the Pacific Coast and commuting in too. If you want to see what is in the area here you go

    An FYI; living/staying in a location *as close as possible* to one's workplace (or daily destination) will help to cut the time, stress, and hassle of what is almost always a difficult commute anywhere in the Bay Area. What sounds good on paper and/or looks good in photos may offer a skewed idea of reality.
