Family Camping in Del Valle


  • DAVIES SYMPHONY HALL 201 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA, 94102 United States (map)

The summer is around the corner and it’s time to dust off the camping gear. We have a large group campsite reserved just for us by the picturesque lake Del Valle near Livermore.

Come join us on Saturday afternoon and/or stay overnight until Sunday.

Let's recreate the Czech-style camping experience with tents, bond fire, grilling, singing with a guitar, and kids playing in the water.

Master plan

* campsite: Hetch Hetchy at Del Valle Regional park

* official check-in at the campsite is 2pm

* if you intend to park your car in the parking lot overnight, you will need a permit, please reach out to me prior to your arrival and I will distribute the permits. (The number of parking permits is limited, but we can solve the problem of sharing when it comes to it)

* we will set up our tents

* enjoy the lake, nature, surrounding area

* play games, paddleboard, swim

* in the evening we will start the fire and start playing guitars and singing songs

* we can grill sausages, smores, etc…

* if the night sky is clear, we can watch the stars

* on Sunday morning, join us for an early swim or an easy yoga session

* then hanging out, playing in the water, slowly packing our tents and leaving for home
