Noah has a bunch of great spots on Summit Road. Even though there were several other groups camping nearby, we felt like we had the whole mountain to ourselves.

While it’s easy to get up to Noah’s place in a car, a word of warning to RVers: Summit Road can be tricky for large trailers. Ours is pretty heavy, and I needed 4WD to keep moving forward on the steep gravelly sections. There are also some tight spots on the road that require careful negotiation of the turns. The road is definitely safe for an RV, but you need to be confident in your driving skills to avoid scraping your rig on a tree trunk.

That said, we will definitely come back again. Noah and his wife left a welcome note for us, along with bug spray, sunscreen, and playing cards. Noah even fetched his chainsaw so he could cut down 2 branches that were going to scrape the top of my RV as I was backing into the site.

We loved staying at Ye Olde Saloon! We arrived on a pleasantly warm evening and enjoyed relaxing at the outdoor table before dinner. It was extremely quiet, and we got a great night of sleep.

The next morning we had a peaceful breakfast shaded by the trees, and before you know it, it was time to go.

Unfortunately, the site was only available for one night, so we were forced to move on. We can’t wait to go back.

I don’t understand why some reviewers feel so unsafe.

Yes, Terminal 4 is in an old industrial area, with lots of weird abandoned buildings. It’s the home of the last whaling station in North America (closed in 1971). Down the road is an shuttered Navy fueling depot. Near that are some 100-year old houses that haven’t been lived in for years.

So what! Where else can you set up camp on the edge of the San Francisco Bay?

There’s nothing unsafe about Terminal 4. No ghosts and no haunted houses. You’re campsite is inside a locked gate, for crying out loud!

This was my second time camping at Terminal 4. Since our first visit a month ago, I can see they’ve been making improvements. While we were there this time, a contractor was going around installing signs to help people get the lay of the land. You’ll have no trouble finding your site or hiking the loop trail.

While we were at Terminal 4 enjoying temps in the 60s, our home in the south bay was roasting in 100+ degree weather. I plan to make Terminal 4 my weekend getaway whenever the weather gets crazy.

I feat this place is about to blow up on Hipcamp, so book now while you still can.

We had such a great time. The winery was hosting a music festival, and they had local bands playing from around 2pm to 8pm. By 9:00, most everyone had left, and it was very quiet. We slept very well ;-)

Kelly was extremely friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time camping next to the bay. We’ll be back again.

What an amazing place to camp! We were a stone’s throw from the bay and a short walk to the BBQ joint where we enjoyed great food, awesome beer, and live music!

If you like abandoned places and ghost towns, there’s one just up the road from Terminal 4. (Search for “winehaven” on Wikipedia for more info.)

Can’t wait to come back again!

We had an awesome weekend. It was a little warm in the afternoon, but we managed to stay comfortable in the shade. A cool breeze helped to keep things from getting too sweaty.

Tony is a great host. And definitely buy some of his firewood. I always have trouble starting a good campfire, but their oak wood is so dry and flammable, we had a roaring campfire a few minutes after striking the match.

If you like to ride your bicycle off-road (i.e. MTB or gravel bike) they have 10+ miles of private gravel roads nearby. My kids and I loved riding the roads without fear of encountering cars or hikers.

We'll be back!
