    China Camp State Park is located on the southwest shore of San Pablo Bay, three miles northeast of downtown San Rafael. The park protects roughly 1,500 acres of oak woodlands and meadows, and 100 acres of fresh and saltwater wetlands, including some of the most pristine tidal wetlands in the San Francisco Bay Area. A sandy beach fronts historic China Camp Village, a Chinese shrimp-fishing village that dates back to the 1860s. Vintage structures and a small museum trace the story of this significant chapter in Chinese-American history. The original cafe offers drinks and light fare; typically open Friday - Sunday. The state park also features roughly 15 miles of multi-use trails looping through oak woodlands and climbing 1,000 feet to the top of San Pablo Ridge, offering sweeping views of the Bay Area.  China Camp's Evolution Explained

    There are 15 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, trail-running, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

    Since 2012, the state park has been managed by Friends of China Camp, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since the park receives no direct funding or tax dollars from the state, FOCC charges a small fee for trail use and parking at select locations. Annual memberships are also available.

    Hours:  Open Daily 8:00 a.m. to sunset, year round
