About
Las Trampas Regional Wilderness is a 6,050-acre preserve managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in the hills above San Ramon. The park's single camping option is the Corral, a primitive group campsite designed for both equestrian and non-equestrian groups. The site accommodates 17-50 people with up to 10 vehicles and includes five 6-foot picnic tables, a serving table, two XL BBQs, and two chemical toilets. The Corral is a true primitive camping experience. Water at the site is unreliable and may run out at any time, so groups must bring sufficient water for all campers, dogs, and horses. Campfires are not permitted, though camp stoves are allowed. Beer and wine are permitted with a $25 add-on permit. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and checkout is at 12:00 PM. The surrounding wilderness features steep ridges, grassy slopes, and oak woodlands. Rocky Ridge reaches 2,024 feet and offers sweeping views of the Bay Area. Trails connect to neighboring parklands, making this a good basecamp for group hiking or horseback riding trips.
