Campground Map does not indicate which site is a Hike-Bike site
Can anyone help Bill out with where the hiker/biker campsites are located at Gerstle Cove campground?
According to
https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=453
“HIKER/BIKER SITES
Ten sites are available for campers on foot or bicycles. These sites are located behind the ranger office near Woodside Campground.”
Thanks Bill!
We added that information to the Gerstle Cove campground page.
Edit to post: There is NO Hiker/ Biker sites at Gerstle CG, only at Woodside CG.
Hiker/Biker sites are in the Woodside CG back left of Ranger station. Restrooms to the right of station. Water, fire rings, tables.
