About

Oak Point Campground at Fremont Peak State Park offers a primitive camping experience in the scenic Gavilan Range of San Benito County. The campground features oak-shaded sites with stunning panoramic views of Monterey Bay, the San Benito Valley, Salinas Valley, and the Santa Lucia Mountains. Each campsite is equipped with a table and fire ring, and pit toilets are available throughout the area. The park encompasses pine and oak woodlands that provide habitat for diverse birds and mammals. Visitors can explore four miles of moderate hiking trails through grasslands and higher peaks. The park is also home to the Fremont Peak Observatory with a 30-inch telescope, offering public astronomy programs on select evenings. Fires using wood and charcoal may be banned during fire season. Campers must bring their own firewood and are prohibited from gathering wood within the park. The narrow, winding access road features sharp turns, and RVs or trailers longer than 25 feet are not recommended. Reservations are available through ReserveCalifornia.
