Brannan Island SRA

Lovely park. Well maintained and clean bathrooms. The only complaint is there is a dog that seems to be trapped in one of the boat slips on the other side of the jetty. Barked all night which prevented any sleep. But that’s not the fault of the park. Some boat owner doesn’t care about its dog.

I thought it was relaxing, peaceful. however suddenly a business pulled up out of a van selling ice cream off a cart like a swat meet, beeping a loud horn. Since when is this the city? Crying children screaming and running through camp sites after the sugar, who even permitted a business to run out of here? That's wrong.

It's summer, so dry grass. Be careful with the campfire. There was no attendant at the kiosk. Check in at 2 pm, and we arrived a little before 2 pm. We went out the next day, and there's the kiosk attendant present with plenty of cars checking in. We got in line to check in, but when 12 pm. struck, the staff left for lunch. We were still not checked in. At least it's paid online. Some sites are dirty from previous campers, and no one picked it up. On the positive side, the walkways are concrete, and we saw quite a few bunny rabbits. We also got lucky with the cool weather, and I got lucky to get a shade in my site. It's always nice to camp. Brannan Island has potential, but it seems neglected. Can't say anything about restrooms and showers because I did not use those. No one bothered us, so I'm always a happy camper. I will not come back here anymore. California still has beautiful and well maintained campgrounds. Ca state parks need to get their act together.

Pros: * fantastic spot for fishing..bring you gear and the fishing license they don't sell it here * The park provides plenty of open space and large "yards" around campsites, allowing for various activities and a feeling of roominess. * The restroom facilities are clean and well-kept * The staff members are friendly and helpful, and there's a convenient on-site store where you can purchase fishing supplies Cons: * Some individual camping spots, particularly the fire rings, are in need of maintenance and repair. * Be prepared for consistent and strong winds throughout the day * there's a noticeable amount of trash scattered in various areas, such as bottles, paper plates, and plastic bags

This is my second time here. I enjoyed the experience and being far enough away from other campers. The pros: inexpensive ($36 a night), a lot of space for tents. Great for kids or adult kids to ride scooters and bicycles. A great swimming area. Cons: There was a sign stating no campfires (no wood and no charcoal), which to me defeats the camping experience. The shower water was extremely hot. Almost too hot to shower. Almost every restroom door was locked because guests did not check the locking mechanism, so when they shut the door upon leaving, the door would lock. The owners should invest in better locks. Overall, I would definitely recommend Brannan Island. And, make sure to bring quarters for the shower. $.50 and the water runs for about 30 minutes
