Mt. Diablo Camping (5 spots available)

From the summit of this mountain, you’ll be able to see all the way to the Sierra Nevada on a clear day. Bring some binoculars and you might even be able to make out Yosemite’s iconic Half Dome.

Standing at 3,864 feet, this iconic mountain towers the nearby city of Walnut Creek. Bonus: you can drive to the summit! Beyond the views, Mt. Diablo State Park's massive 20,000-acres offers plentiful opportunities for climbing, biking, and hiking.

Hikers will be over the moon when they discover the park’s extensive trail system. Our favorite hike is the Mount Diablo Grand Loop, a trail that circumvents the entire mountain. The gates here close at sunset, so make sure you arrive by then.

If you would like to take in a sunset, spend the night at Juniper, Live Oak, or Mount Diablo Group Campground. (Juniper has the best views where we will be camping.) Be sure to bring plenty of water, it gets pretty dry up there.

Everyone who RSVPs yes and has not paid will go to the not going list until they have paid. No refunds for any reason, so choose to pay wisely. Price is $60 by Venmo or PayPal. Please select family and friends instead of business and services. My Venmo account is @Rachel-Michels-1. My PayPal login is paypal.me/RMichels. Message me if you need assistance.

Wood is not included. Please plan to bring/buy/forage(if permitted) during the trip. Local wood is best. Always be prepared for fire restrictions.

We have 2 campsites side by side. There is a maximum of 2 cars at each site. Carpooling is encouraged. Late comers can park in overflow.

There are no refunds for any reason. Rain or shine!
