About
Candlestick Point State Recreation Area is a California State Park with real, current overnight camping in San Francisco County, but no numeric site count is published by either California State Parks or ReserveCalifornia.
Fees
California State Parks (ReserveCalifornia.com) does not publish one statewide nightly rate schedule; its own Booking and Fees page states rates 'vary based on the accommodation type and the amenities available at that park' and are posted per-park at booking time. A non-refundable $8.25 reservation fee (also $8.25 to modify or cancel) applies per ReserveCalifornia transaction, on top of the site's nightly rate. Fees include entry for one vehicle and one legally towed vehicle/trailer; additional vehicles are charged per-night at the park. Yes: Dogs must be on a maximum 6-foot leash at all times.
