## Overview

Slide Ranch is a nonprofit organization established in 1970, becoming one of the first Park Partners in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Slide Ranch is located on the Marin coast, on land that has a rich history in connecting people to food. The Coast Miwok once fished and foraged for food at this site, and in the late 19th century Portuguese dairy farmers purchased the land and produced milk and butter for residents of San Francisco. In 1969, 134 acres of this fertile coastline were rescued from commercial development. Slide Ranch camping fees directly fund scholarships for youth programs throughout the year.

Slide Ranch is an unpaved ranch environment. Our trails and garden paths all consist of uneven, sloping terrain, often muddy or soft ground during the winter season, and may be challenging to access for visitors with significant mobility restrictions.

Minors aged 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

No pets allowed; service animals are permitted.

We do not have showering facilities or flush toilets. Water in all Slide Ranch taps is potable for refilling water bottles/jugs. Soap is provided for hand washing.

Slide Ranch does not have any concessions on site. Camping is not supported by the on-site staff. Per current GGNRA regulations, campfires and open flames of any kind are not allowed.

> The camping is on a beautiful piece of coast and I have been coming here for 5 years with my daughter. Unfortunately the camping has become more and more difficult because they allow too many campers in the meadow at one time without tent sites marked (just an open meadow). The last two times I have tried camping in the meadow, people then set up their tents 12-18 inches from ours because everyone is jockeying for the coast side of the meadow. Slide Ranch needs to 1) mark boundaries of tent sites in the meadow, even if they are still first come first serve 2) reduce the number of tent reservat…
