Sites 69 to 73 has lake view. Over all a nice place with good trails around them. Not very far from city but still peaceful. Though wish the bathrooms were more spread out for easier accessibility. Parking is free for the lake below for anyone camping but you need to drive down

A wonderful campground in the heart of the city. Very hilly. Lots of challenging hikes. No swimming. AT&T worked great. Our site had full hookups. Saw wild turkeys every morning.

The campgrounds are open for reservation only. You must make them online and they usually do not have same day available. There are two campsites, one with hookups and one without that it may show online is available but in actuality you're not allowed to book them because they are ADA sites. Also they have a dump and fill up station that is open during business hours for $20

Hello, we stay at Anthony chabot campground and want to go to San Francisco by train or Bus. How can we die this? Thanks

Kerstin Hoffmann | Sep 2, 2019

There is no public transit options from the campground, lyft and uber are both unreliable at best. Your best bet is to drive your car (or rv) to bart in castro valley, then bart in from there. Warning: large vehicles occupying more than one parking space at bart will be ticketed, so consider parking your rv on a residential side street nearby.

There is no swimming in Lake Chabot. The campground actually sits above the lake looking over it. You can hike down there but you cannot go in.
