The Fremont Peak climb is called a climb for a reason.

For bikers seeking out a challenge, Fremont Peak is a great route with challenging gradients along the way.

At the top, your hard work will be rewarded with a view of the Moss Landing smokestacks and San Juan Bautista. Some parts of this route are uncovered, so if you're going in the heat of summer, you may want to tackle this one early.

This is for Valley View Campground. Stayed there Sept 2021. Nice small campground. I stayed in Site 7 with a 17ft trailer & it was perfect. Shade all day over the driveway spot & the tent area/table had shade all morning. The view from this site is spectacular, you can look down at the valley & city below. My only complaint is the the ridiculous amount of flies! They didn't bite, but they were very nosey. Had TMobile cell service throughout the campground.

We stayed in Valley View. Pleasantly small. Not much to do if you have small kids who can’t do steep trails yet. Site 7 is completely exposed, to the point of being uninhabitable during hot afternoons. Site 8 has the best view. Other nice options were 3, 4, 5, 9 & 10. All in all, a nice campground not too far from civilization. Just avoid site 7 if it’s warm.

Camped here for NYE this past year with friends. It was empty! Reached cool temperatures and we even witnessed some falling snow our last night. The right gear makes all of the difference! The views were beautiful. Sites were a tad small (there were three couples in our group). Vault toilets are never nice but weren't as bad because of the cold.

No running water in the bathrooms. Overall the campsite area is small and the trails connect from the campsite to the Fremont Peak trail

If you stay at the weekend the public picnic/barbecue area can be a little noisy for those sites in Oak Point that are close by, so if you want quiet during the day, aim to get a site at the other end.

Oak Point is a nice campsite (separate from Valley View) but when we stayed (in June) everyone was tormented by flies!

Your guide to camping in Oak Point and Valley View Campground

Overview

Biking

The Fremont Peak climb is called a climb for a reason. For bikers seeking out a challenge, Fremont Peak is a great route with challenging gradients along the way. At the top, your hard work will be rewarded with a view of the Moss Landing smoke stacks. Some parts of this route are uncovered, so if you’re going in the heat of summer, you may want to tackle this one early.

Hiking

There isn’t a ton of hiking here and the camping is a bit more “basic,” but the hike to the peak 360 degree views. This is popular destination for photographers as well - pray for fog! The peak rises majestically above the sea of fog and the views are dreamlike.

Wildlife watching

Canyons come with all sorts of interesting critters, and Fremont Peak State Park is no exception. Coyotes, bobcats, raccoons all call the area home, as do foxes, deer and turkey buzzards.. Keep your eye out for slithery friends as well, as snakes and lizards also enjoy the hilly, dry countryside.
