Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area, State vehicular recreation area in Livermore, United States

Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area is an off-road recreation site spanning two counties with rolling hillsides, oak groves, and varied terrain. The grounds feature multiple riding courses and trails designed for different vehicle types and rider experience levels.

The site originated as a brick and pottery manufacturing facility starting in 1902, but closed after natural disasters damaged operations. The industrial landscape was later transformed into a recreational area for off-road activities.

The Carnegie Brick and Pottery Company, named after Andrew Carnegie, was formed in 1902 after coal was found in Corral Hollow in 1855 and miners later found clay there. The plant's bricks and terracotta were used for the Stockton Savings and Loan Society Bank, and the site is California Historical Landmark #740. Foundations of the plant stand east of the ATV track.

Twenty-three campsites are first-come, first-served; ramadas, fire rings, restrooms and water faucets are provided, but there are no water or electrical hook-ups. Fires are allowed only in the campground fire rings. Day-use hours vary by season, generally 8 a.m. to sunset. Picnic tables stand throughout the valley floor, and the motocross track closes to the public during some weekend competitions.

Separate courses are designed specifically for motocross, all-terrain vehicles, and young riders on smaller motorcycles. This specialized arrangement allows beginners and experienced riders to find appropriate riding challenges suited to their abilities.
