Check on Alameda County Fair Grounds for a place in the East Bay. SF KOA is very pricy like anything in the bay area.

I agree with this; I am from the Bay area and that is where I stayed the last time I brought my 5ver. There is a BART station close. This is easy from the central valley (the direction you will be coming from). Use it as a base for your Bay Area time and then if you want move on to up or down the coast.
The suggestion for Candlestick is not a safe area.
The person talking about camping at Fort Point (across the Golden Gate through the tunnel). I camped there as a kid in Boy Scouts; I did not think they allowed public camping
