So pack up your gear (including the bike) and explore the best camping spots in San Francisco. There are a ton of natural wonders within minutes of the city, including 5 of the best campsites in California.

But you don’t have to drive for a day and a half. So it makes sense cyclists feel the need to get out and reconnect with Mother Nature on trails and relatively deserted “country” roads. But sometimes you need to dig a little deeper and get in touch with your inner environmentalist.īiking in the city can be fun, but it can also be dangerous (the number of bicycle accidents in San Francisco isn’t decreasing-even with all the safety improvements). From hiking along San Francisco’s rocky shore to biking the miles and miles of trails wound throughout to simply chilling in one of the gorgeously planned green spaces it’s not hard to find an escape from the hustle and bustle. San Francisco is relatively unspoiled (as far as major metropolitan areas go) and embraces the iconic natural beauty that has made The City by the Bay an attraction for world travelers for a century or more. We San Franciscans are perhaps more in tune with Mother Nature than most of our California cousins.
