Confirmed from San Lorenzo County Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

San Lorenzo County Park is a well-maintained green space offering camping, picnic areas, and walking trails. The grounds are clean and spacious, making it a great stop for travelers looking for a peaceful retreat.
99 campsites (never full), large group camping site, picnic sites, bbq's, open campfires with lots of firewood around, club houses w/ kitchens, playgrounds, 2 museums, all reservable. Lots of shade trees. Lots of lawn. Can be dusty as it is downwind from ag fields. Always breezy. Walking distance to shopping.
This is our second time here. First time in a rent for the weekend, this time in a trailer for the week. Great spots, easy access. Feels like your out of town when your inside but your less then a mile from town. Family friendly.
Only been here once. Nicely kept grounds, beautiful oak trees, plenty areas for picnicking, strolling. Enjoyed walking dogs with friends visiting from out of town. They enjoyed park as well!👍🏽👍🏽🌳🐕
