- Rest area (crystal spring or Norh Golden Gate)
- Oackland industrial area
- Palo Alto[/font]

Hi. SF can be sketchy. Be careful and don’t leave your RV alone for long if at all. I’d park in Berkeley area if I was you. There’s a great spot I’ll post a map of it, right on the Bay w awesome views of Golden Gate Bridge. But, I wouldn’t leave it there either alone. The kids will love the beach! Dog friendly too. Oh I guess I don’t know how to post a pic on a reply message. I’ll try to send it to u some other way. Also there’s a guy on YouTube “Will Prowse” who does all these videos of living in a RV in SF. He’s ok, check him out.

I love staying at the GG bridge. It's a rest area, so you are free to stay. I always feel safe since bridge patrol and CHP cruise through regularly. It does cost you 7.00 each time you go back into the city for the bridge toll. I use FasTrak so It's 6.25. It can be loud, too, with wind and revelers. Cannot beat the view!!

I spend a lot of time in the park, never had an issue.

Have a wonderful time!

I have no direct experience, just what I've read. Palo Alto should be fine. Near Stanford University. 72hrs. Just south of PA is Mt. View. Areas around Shoreline Blvd and Centennial seem to be popular. The latter is near shopping.

If you plan on going into the city, both of these cities are around 30 min w/o traffic away.

There is a little community on the Berkeley marina. They were told to leave but they are still there. I don't know the status of the situation but I saw a hoard of rv's there yesterday (5/15/18). Here is an article and a news cast about them: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/04/05/rv-dwellers-berkeley-marina-evictions/
