Pretty neat park is passed a few times but only just got around to stopping by. The big grinding rock site that gives the park its namesake is obviously the initial draw but there are also lot of neat structures and that explore Native American history and the continued use and importance of the site to culture today. The museum inside the roundhouse building is really well done as well, and there’s a few nature and history trail loops to walk the surrounding area with the option of a handout sheet that explains each of the numbered marker points along one of these too. This is also a location a state park pass will get you into as well, and there’s a campground I didn’t explore yet but which looked pretty nice in passing.

If I give this place a high rating then one of my favorite campsite will be too crowded. But I can't give it a bad rating because it wouldn't be true! All I will say is the camp hosts are the best and keep the facilities running as it should be. 😀

Smaller litte gem of a CA State park. Lots of shade in campsites. Flush toilets and coin-operated showers on site. Friendly staff. Nature center (free) full of background on the natives who once lived in the area along with stuff to buy.

You can pay for parking in the museum. The museum gives great information on how the Native People lived prior to the arrival of the Europeans and then how everything changed. Great examples of their tools and baskets. From the museum it is a short, fairly level, walk to a recreated village and round house. Lots of picnic tables. Nature trail with guide pamphlet and many stops to examine the forest around you. The largest grinding rock in North America with some petrographs.

Beautiful place to bring the kids to learn about history and the Miwok people. We packed a lunch and had it under a beautiful structure. Museum was beautiful and free to enter. It has a gift shop area.

Very cool place . It's great for kids to learn about the Indians. There is a lot of walking, but it is easy Hills. The people their are very knowledgeable and enjoy teaching the kiddos.

Nice place to hang out for a few hours and learn about the Indian heritage of the region. Dog friendly trail and ample parking (paid entry). Loved the trails and the quiet ambience - the experience had a religious vibe.
