First time visiting Uvas Canyon. It's about 20 miles from our home in San Jose, by far the closest campground. We stayed two nights in the campground. It is a small area with 25 campsites. Sites are really close to each other, so there is little to no privacy. A central restroom building has about 6 restrooms and 4 showers...impressively clean and functional. There are recycling and garbage bins every 2-3 sites and Park Rangers/groundskeepers clear these out like every 3 hrs...again super impressive! Firewood is $13/box and includes firestarter. Beware tons of mosquitos. This is the perfect intro to car camping (or tent-only) for beginners or families...not for anyone seeking peace or tranquility :) It's literally a school playground filled with babies crying and kids having a blast from 7am to 11pm. Also, pets are allowed so be prepared for random dogs walking through your campsite. No Joke! The creek access is great for kids to play in. The Waterfall Loop Trail is also nice. I'd re-visit and just do a day trip to explore the hiking trails...the campground is just too small and populated (like the Bay Area). We were more interested/enthralled by the Svedal village that you must drive through to enter Uvas Canyon.

Nice place and very nice hike I like the hike it's all covered with trees and no sun. You can also buy enterance ticket there if you forget to do so. There is a machine as well but if u are in line buy online ticket immediately

This is a great location for a short hike. Since we've received enough rain, the creek is full and pleasantly noisy. I recommend the waterfall loop trail. Part of the loop was closed due to storm damage so you have to go up and back on the same trail but it's still a great hike for beginners. We ate lunch at the picnic table at the top of the trail. It was a great location. It was a little cool and breezy today with the forecast high being 59 degrees but still a pleasant day.

It is a nice little hiking trail. Perfect for a summer day. There is a loop but it is a bit confusing. Eventually it all comes in a loop. Can't really get lost unless you go off the path. Plenty of shade in the area so you don't have to bring a hat unless you want to. You can reserve a parking spot online or you can drive up and pay for a day pass. There are camp grounds you can go to as well.

A decent park. We were very lucky to get in without reservation since it was not a busy day. Waterfalls are still running. The creek near entrance is nice. Camp ground looks well maintained. Hikes are short. We spent two hours here.

Great hiking trails in the water cooled canyons. Recommend the 4 miles, 2 1/2 hours casual Waterfall loop hike up the Knobcone and then Contour trail back. Little water left now in September. Day parking is $6 at machine takes creditcards. Good Wi-Fi signal in parking lot.

Very nice shaded hikes which are kids friendly. Water was flowing but some falls didn't had much water.

Beautiful! Shady, great trails along the creek. You need a reservation before going on the weekends even for hiking. BUT if you have a county pass, call instead otherwise you get charged $6.
