Van camping, SF & Point Reyes
We are so grateful to have found Juliana's Hipcamp listing. We needed to be in SF for a few days midweek, and we didn't feel comfortable bringing our full-time travel van into the city. We also wanted to enjoy the weekends in the Point Reyes area on the front and tail ends of our SF trip. While this listing is for a studio, after understanding our needs, Juliana kindly offered for us to van camp the 1st weekend with access to a full bathroom indoors, Wifi, and a 110-volt plug for our van. In addition, she let us leave our van safely parked during our nights in SF. Then, we returned for a long weekend with access to the studio (bed, indoor toilet/sink, kitchenette, outdoor shower). We didn't use the bed, but only because we love the one in our van. Access to a hot outdoor shower was the best. Juliana's property is peaceful, great for catching up on sleep, and there are a lot of trees for staying cool too. From our van spot, we could walk to the Gary Giacomini Open Space Preserve and hike the Summit Fire Road. Many things we enjoyed were less than 30 min away, including Roy's Redwoods Preserve (10 min), Samuel P. Taylor State Park (10 min), and Bear Valley Visitor Center at Point Reyes (25 min). A couple of small markets with delis are only 5 and 10 min in Woodacre and Lagunitas, respectively. And Union Square was only a 50-min Uber ride. We will absolutely return to this Hipcamp due to its wonderful location, and especially for Juliana's hospitality.
