No. This trip is meant for parents who love the outdoors and want to continue the tradition of backpacking with their toddlers. If you have camping experience, you will be fine. If you don't have any experience, I'd love to help you get started!

No, this is strictly for families with toddlers. Please bring your child(ren) along, and please come with them. This is not a babysitting trip.

There are some stairs in the beginning right after leaving the Ferry Landing, after that, the hike is relatively flat on paved road. It is only 1 mile to the campsite, but if it takes 2 hours because of your toddler, then it takes 2 hours.

Your own camping gear, food, water, and toddler essentials (diapers, formulas, etc.). Ferry tickets are also on you. I cannot carry anything for you, my children are already too heavy...

Yes, campsite fees are already covered. You only pay for your ferry, gear, and food.

The biggest thing is once the last ferry leaves the island, we are there alone with other campers. In terms of weather, it should be relatively cool in March. There are some coyotes that live there, so we will need to be diligent about storing scented items like food and other baby products.

There is a pit toilet (often with toilet paper) at camp, and potable water is available. There are also food storage boxes at camp. On island, there's a small shop at Ferry Landing, but from my experience, the opening hours are not very predictable (highly dependent on the tourists).

There are rangers that live on the island that may be able to help, and depending on the situation, there may be a way to get off the island in an emergency (never tried).

No. You can ferry with the us from San Francisco, ferry from Tiburon and meet us at the Angel Island ferry landing.

No. You can just stay for one night on either Friday or Saturday night. You can also leave early if for whatever reason you aren't comfortable staying the 2nd night. And we will do the same as well.

I'll leave that up to you. But we've been car camping with our infant as young as 3 months old. As of the time of this trip, our oldest would have just turned 3 years old, and the youngest would be 10 months old.

I don't want to put an upper limit on the child's age, but I guess if your child still acts like a toddler, then come join us!

March is usually cool, but plans may change if conditions look unsafe. I can update the group if we need to adjust. Usually, I cancel trips when rain is in the forecast.

Sign up below anyways and just let me know. If interest is strong, I'd love to organize more trips!

We do a ton of car camping trips as well, just reach out below and we can coordinate!

Please fill out the contact form below, I will need to do a soft background check (of your LinkedIn or social media profile) for the safety of the group. Once this is done, I will add you to our group chat and we can coordinate from there!
