Little Basin Update: Day-use hiking only
- Due to the high expense of operations and the ongoing delay in being able to transfer the property to California State Parks, Little Basin will be open for day-use hiking only for POST and Sempervirens donors and volunteers. Overnight camping will no
longer be available. To ensure the gate to the property is open and to arrange parking, please contact POST at least 24 hours in advance of your visit by calling Land Assistant Catherine Waterston at (650) 854-7696 x308.
- This change in access, which took effect in March, was made necessary due to the continuing California budget crisis, which has caused a crippling lack of funding for State Parks and prevented the agency from being able to take ownership of the land from POST and Sempervirens Fund. The two groups acquired the property, located near Boulder Creek, from Hewlett Packard in 2007.
- We encourage anyone who wishes to accelerate the State Parks acquisition process to support the“YES for State Parks” campaign. To learn more about this effort, please
