Probably already too late for campfires this season. There have been brush fires along the sides of the road this week.
There are some great campsites in Sunol Regional Park. Check the Sunol Backpack Area. They are about 3-4 miles from the trailhead. Pretty sure those are no-campfire areas. Dogs allowed for day visitors only, according to their website. http://www.ebparks.org/activities/camping/backpacking#sunol <http://www.ebparks.org/activities/camping/backpacking#sunol> Sanborn County Park allows dogs. https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/parkfinder/pages/sanborn.aspx <https://www.sccgov.org/sites/parks/parkfinder/pages/sanborn.aspx> Dogs are allowed in the headquarters campground at Henry Coe SP, but not in the backcountry. Also, no campfires in the backcountry, ever. https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=561 <https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=561> A google search for "dog friendly camping bay area” showed some sites that might be helpful. Finally, you probably need a California Campfire Permit. Those are needed even for gas stoves. The only time you don’t need them is in established campgrounds (like drive-in) or on your own private property. http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/ <http://www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit/> Also, the regs about campfires and liability. http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/campfiretips.pdf <http://www.fire.ca.gov/communications/downloads/fact_sheets/campfiretips.pdf> wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jun 6, 2017, at 1:26 PM, David Satterwhite via Elecraft > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > > Hello everyone, I'm looking to go camping or Backpacking this weekend with my > QRP set up and have some fun.
