Campgrounds and RV parks near Corte Madera, CA

Corte Madera sits in central Marin County, about 10 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge along US-101. It works well as an RV base for travelers who want San Francisco day trips paired with redwood and coastal recreation, without parking a motorhome in the city itself. RV options in the immediate area are limited and tend to book early. Marin RV Park in nearby Greenbrae and Marin Park are the closest full-hookup options, while Golden Gate Trailer Park offers another nearby choice. Heading north along the 101 corridor, Novato RV Park adds capacity in northern Marin. South of the bridge, Candlestick RV Park is the closest urban-side option for travelers focused on San Francisco itself. From Corte Madera, drivers reach Mount Tamalpais State Park, which rises from the heart of Marin County with deep canyons, redwood forests, oak woodlands, and sweeping views of the Farallon Islands, San Francisco Bay, the East Bay, and Mount Diablo, plus Muir Woods National Monument, China Camp State Park, and the southern end of Point Reyes National Seashore within roughly 30 to 45 minutes.

Private RV parks near Corte Madera, including Marin RV Park, Marin Park, Golden Gate Trailer Park, Novato RV Park, and Candlestick RV Park, are reserved directly through each park, typically by phone or website. Inventory is small for the region's demand, so booking several weeks ahead is advisable for summer weekends and major holidays. California State Park campgrounds, including those in and around Mount Tamalpais and nearby Samuel P. Taylor State Park, are reserved through ReserveCalifornia, which opens reservations 6 months ahead. Within Mount Tamalpais State Park, Steep Ravine Campground and Alice Eastwood Group Camp are reservable, while Pantoll, Bootjack and Frank Valley Group Horse Camp are first-come, first-serve.
