Eating

SATURDAY

A great camping trip

‘Simply Butanoful’: Cooking dinner on the grill, falling asleep under towering redwoods, waking up to miles of trails to explore — that’s camping in Butano State Park. This gem of a campground on the San Mateo coast is set in a canyon canopied by second-growth redwoods, and its 18 walk-in sites are ideal for car-camping. A 50- to 200-foot walk to your site is just enough to feel like you’re roughing it without the constant hum of RV generators.
