Trail use (foot, bike and equestrian) and parking fees for China Camp State Park have been announced by Friends of China Camp (FOCC). The fees are part of an effort by FOCC to raise the funds necessary to meet annual management costs for the park of approximately $500,000.

Annual and day-use passes, good for a 12-month period from date of purchase, are available online. For details click here.

Tamarancho is open all year in all weather. But in the winter, when the trails are very wet after a big storm, that is good time to ride other locations rather than the camp. We say, "When it rains, let it drain."

A couple of new "bypass" trails opened last year in Tamarancho. One is near the bottom of Serpentine, and goes around the Rock Face and the other is on Broken Dam near the Big Bridge and includes 2 switchbacks. Look for new additional bypass and stunts that will be added this winter.

The camp may have heavy bike use during prime time on the weekends. Please remember that the uphill riders have right of way, and always ride in control.

With the usual winter storms coming, there will be some downed trees and limbs as well as other wind and water damage on the trails. Please let us know if you come across obstacles (and the location) so we can remove them.
