Rob Hill Campground

Each year, thousands of Bay Area residents discover the delights of Rob Hill Campground, the only overnight campsite in San Francisco. Rob Hill is a hidden treasure, located at the Presidio's highest point above Baker Beach amid a beautiful eucalyptus grove. The campsite welcomes groups of all kinds and is also home to the Camping at the Presidio (CAP) program, which provides youth with meaningful outdoor experiences.

Rob Hill Campground offers four group campsites that can accommodate 30 people each, restrooms, and a large stone campfire circle. It was expanded and improved in 2010 with support from the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. "Rob Hill Campground is a place where children and families have the opportunity to pitch a tent in their national park, enjoy s'mores cooked over a campfire, and wake up in the woods to the sounds of nature," said Walter J. Haas, Chair of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund and son of its founders.

Campground Facilities

Each group campsite at Rob Hill features a campfire circle, a free-standing barbeque grill, and picnic tables. Rob Hill has restrooms but no showers. A large communal campfire circle with seating for 100 people may be available for general use. On any given night, the CAP program may occupy two of the four group camp sites. When CAP participants are present at Rob Hill, they have priority use of the communal campfire circle.

Mission

The Presidio Trust's mission is to preserve and enhance the Presidio as an enduring resource for the American public. The Trust's work encompasses the natural areas, wildlife, and native habitats of the park, as well as the historic structures and designed landscapes that make the park a National Historic Landmark District. The Presidio Trust is dedicated to ensuring that visitors to this spectacular place have the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the Presidio, its place in American history, and the plants and wildlife which once thrived throughout the region.
