Bates is one of thesweet State Park. Although it is not large, it nonetheless feels expansive. It is out of the way and quiet. It is also a major summer camping area for cyclists on Hwy 26 who are heading coast to coast. Be sure to go to the cafe at Austin Junction and enjoy a meal or an ice cream cone. And October fall colors are gorgeous! Restrooms: Clean!! Dog-friendliness: Dogs must be on a leash. Picnic area: Many tables in a beautiful setting

A nice camp ground with grass and a small lake for fishing. No cell service.

We were the only ones, loved the walks to the pond. Extremely clean RV camp ground. We will be back in the spring.

My husband and I stayed here while biking on the transamerica trail. Its a short jog away from the route, with all paved roads. We loved our stay here! The sprinklers were going in the afternoon when we got there but we had places to be in the shade until they were done running. I would much rather have sprinklers running in the afternoon than risk getting our tent sprayed at night. The restrooms were clean and provided hand sanitizer. There was an outlet box by the biker/hiker area. The water from the faucets around the campsite was the coldest water weve ever gotten in our camping experience. It was perfect to drink on a hot day and a huge bonus to our ice starved biking hearts. We took a short hike back to the pond area, it was gorgeous! We loved spending time watching the large variety of birds in that area, and again, there were lovely trees that provided shade for a hot day. Camp site fees were 8.00 per person. The management does a great job in providing essentials without micromanaging our stay with unnecessary rules. Would def recommend based on a great experience!
