Consider Angel Island, in the Bay with spectacular views of San Francisco and access by ferry. Reservations accepted 7 months in advance. I have always wanted to do this but so far have only hiked around the island.

I think Angel Island is the perfect solution. Ferry to Tiburon and then across to the island. Amazing views and interesting history.
While most rural camp sites have limited) transit connections (or very often, none). Angel Island is sooooo easy.

The website for CA Parks sited above mentions the possibility of needing to carry camping equipment on Angel Island for "up to 2 miles". I car camp from time to time but am not a backpacker. I think Angel Island would be a wonderful place to camp if that aspect isn't a problem for you. If it is, consider doing your camping any of a number of places north and south of San Francisco and seeing Angel Island on a day trip. If you decide to camp elsewhere there are places to park to connect with public transport for trips into the City.
