Well, my camper is currently parked in my driveway in the Upper Bayview
District, but I suppose that doesn't really qualify as a campsite. My
Westfalia is also one of those that can occasionally be seen at Ocean
Beach.

As far as I know, overnight camping is not allowed on Ocean Beach, or
any other SF beach for that matter. There is a patrol at night to
enforce this. Applies to Golden Gate Park, as well. Nor can you legally
camp in the Presidio or Fort Mason or even the Cliff House parking lot.

You probably have to arrange to park in someone's driveway, and in San
Francisco, empty driveways are not exactly a commodity item.

SF is filled with fun/tolerant neighborhoods, but sadly, none of them
have much in the way of parking.
