Since the Spanish first arrived in 1776, the Presidio's soldiers have maintained their guard over the riches of San Francisco Bay. This serene corner of San Francisco is both the oldest continuously used military post in the nation, and one of the most beautiful.

Transferred from the Army to the National Park Service in 1994, the Presidio offers forests, creeks, trails, views, architecture, and history for today's park visitors.

Rob Hill Campground

The Presidio's Rob Hill Campground re-opened in May 2010 after undergoing 20-months of improvements made possible by a $4 million grant from the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. The campground serves as the home of the Camping at the Presidio (CAP) program.

Sitting atop the Presidio's highest point, in a stand of eucalyptus trees overlooking Baker Beach and the Pacific, Rob Hill Campground has for decades welcomed scouts, school groups, and families for a wilderness experience just a stone's throw from city life. The rustic site originally featured just two campfire rings and had minimal amenities.

The campground has been expanded to include four group campsites that can accommodate 30 people each, new restrooms, a large stone campfire circle, and an indoor "Great Room" for educational programs.
