About
Mount Diablo SP Group Campground provides primitive tent camping for groups of 20-50 people within Mount Diablo State Park. The park features five distinct group sites: Stagecoach and Boundary ($65/night), Buckeye and Wildcat ($100/night), and Barbecue Terrace horse camp ($165/night). Each site includes pit toilets, running water, picnic tables, and fire pits, though amenities are more basic than the family campgrounds. The park rises dramatically above the East Bay, offering 360-degree views stretching from the Sierra Nevada to the Farallon Islands on clear days. Group campers have access to over 80 miles of trails through oak woodlands, chaparral, and rock formations. The historic summit and visitor center are nearby. Note that RVs and trailers are not permitted in the group camping areas. Park gates close at sunset, and campers may not drive in the park after dark except for emergencies. Dogs are allowed in developed camping areas but prohibited on trails. During fire season (May-October), campers should confirm park status one day before arrival, as high fire danger can result in park closure.
Directions
From I-680, take the Diablo Road exit in Danville and head east on Diablo Road for about 3 miles to Mt Diablo Scenic Boulevard. Turn left and continue into the park. Group camps are accessed via park roads; specific directions provided upon reservation confirmation.
