Camp Herms is located in El Cerrito. This camp serves as a year-round camp with Cub Scout Day Camp during the summer. It is situated atop the El Cerrito Hills and can be used as the hub of local historical site visits to San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Camp Herms can be used in multiple ways for many different activities and events, making this facility one of our most used camps. The facilities include a meeting lodge with kitchen, campsites and sleeping shelters.

It is also the base for the Fages Historic Trail, commemorating the trek by Captain Pedro Fages searching for a land route around the San Francisco Bay in 1772.
