Sunrise Point Campground, located within Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, opened six new campsites to the public on October 1st. These campsites are unique in that they are only accessible by trail or boat, and not accessible by car. So prepare for a little walk to get into your site. The campsites don’t have electricity or showers, giving them a more ‘one-with-nature’ experience.
