Description

This United States Coast Guard Training Center is located just seven miles west of Petaluma on Tomales Bay Road. There are two separate camping areas within the base. The first is used by the on base Scout Troop, which can also sometimes be used by other units with prior permission. The second is located in the Lake Recreation Area at the southeast end of the base off of Pennsylvania Avenue. There is little protection from trees or other natural barriers from the wind.

Activities

• Camping
• Bicycling
• Open Field Areas

Facilities

This area includes a 5-acre lake, picnic areas, camping sites and sport activity areas. As a Scout or Explorer unit we have been allowed to use some of the base facilities. As a guest of the Base Commander please make sure to follow all rules and regulations. Reservations are required for your particular event. If you have any special needs or requests, make sure to relay that information to your reservation contact person prior to your group’s arrival.

Fire: Designated fire rings only.

Wood: Bring your own—no wood gathering.

Comments

• If the posted speed limit is 25 MPH, drive 25 MPH.  Trust Us!
• Since September 11, 2001, it has become increasingly more difficult to get permission to use "Two Rock" for event locations.  If you have good contacts thru the Base command structure you may have better luck.
