Is there a spot in Piedmont or Oakland, CA where we could park a pop-up camp trailer while visiting family?

Can't park in driveway or on street. We travel as campers.
We need a parking spot for the trailer, not a place to camp.

To the south (about a ten minute drive from Piedmont, and right on the southern border of Oakland) is Anthony Chabot Regional Park. The park is quite large, and provides many different spots for camping AND trailer parking (it has both, though it is a park setting. If you were hoping for somewhere within the cities to park your trailer, Piedmont won't have anything. It's a tiny city of houses, a couple of schools, a bank, and a gas station. Lovely neighborhood, but it won't have for what you're looking).

From the East Bay Regional Park website:
"Overlooking the lake is Chabot Family Campground, a year-round getaway only minutes from the city (camping fee). The camp has 75 trailer, tent, or walk-in campsites, hot showers, naturalist-led campfire programs, an amphitheater, and hiking/fishing access to Lake Chabot. There are reservable youth group campsites within the park as well. For reservations, telephone (510) 562-2267, up to 12 weeks in advance." http://www.ebparks.org/parks/anchabot.htm

There are a few trailer parks in Oakland, but I don't know if you can leave your trailer there for a bit without intention of staying.

    Lake Chabot Regional Park. Check out East Bay Regional parks. There are probably other parks to camp in listed on their website.
