About
Point Pinole Group Campsite is a primitive group camping destination within Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, a 2,432-acre park extending into San Pablo Bay in Richmond. The campsite accommodates groups of 17 to 75 people and is located approximately 200-300 yards from the fishing pier, offering proximity to shoreline activities and bay views. The site features four 6-foot picnic tables, a serving table, double BBQ, fire circle with three benches, and a shade structure. A rinsing shower and drinking fountain with water spigot provide water access, while two chemical toilets serve sanitation needs. A 5x8-foot storage container with combination lock is available for gear. There are no flush toilets or private showers. Access requires a 1.5-mile hike from the parking area, though up to four vehicles can drive to the site with a pre-arranged staff escort (call 510-544-3063 at least two weeks ahead). Vehicles arrive between 2:00-3:30 PM for escort. Beer and wine are permitted with a $25 permit; hard alcohol is prohibited. Dogs are allowed but must remain leashed in developed areas.
Directions
From I-80 in Richmond, take the Richmond Parkway exit west toward the Bay. Cross San Pablo Avenue and turn right onto Atlas Road. Follow Atlas Road for approximately 1 mile to reach the park entrance.
