About

Madrone Group Camp is situated within Samuel P. Taylor State Park, approximately an hour north of San Francisco and adjacent to Point Reyes National Seashore. The group campground can accommodate up to 50 people and is located at the bottom of Mount Barnabe's grassy hills, surrounded by bay, oak, madrone, and redwood trees. The site requires advance reservations and provides a spacious area for group camping. The Madrone area also features four rustic cabins, each measuring 12x20 square feet and accommodating up to five people. Each cabin includes electric outlets, lighting, wood flooring, a covered porch, a small electric heater, and four platform bunk beds (mattresses not provided). Outside each cabin is a picnic table, fire ring, barbecue grill, and water spigot. A separate restroom building with coin-operated hot showers is a short walk from the cabins. The location offers easy access to the park's natural redwood forests, Lagunitas Creek, and numerous hiking trails including the wheelchair-accessible South Creek Trail.
