OK, the only reason i didn't give higher stars is at the intersection of going to Alamere Falls or continuing to Wildcat and beyond, has a rock arrow....should have signage there. We took that detour with 30lb packs and then had to circle back. ALL IN ALL, amazing site and the beach was spectacular.

Stayed at coast one night and glen the other. The camps were nice. As soon as I got home I started planning another trip with my family.

My son and I camped at campsite 7 on a late August Thursday night. The reservation was made about two weeks prior. The day was a rare clear day on the coast. We parked at the Laguna Trailhead and backpacked the 1.9 miles to Coast Camp. The first .5 miles is uphill and then the trail flattens out for a while. The last .75 mile is downhill to camp. It was a moderate hike. I did not take hiking poles but I will next time because of pack. We found our campsite easily and the access to the beach. On this clear day the beach was a big draw. We ate all our meals at the beach. The low tide was at 9:30pm so we spent much of the evening checking out the tide pools at the rocks. There was so much animal life. There was not much drift wood so we were not able to have a fire on the beach. The potable water was very drinkable and I will not bother packing water for our next trip. We had a spectacular time and will be back soon.I have AT&T and had cell service at the beach and campsite

Easy permitting and clear instructions. I dont know how, but they need to figure out a better way to ensure permit holders actually use them. We booked the only remaining site at Sky and Coast camps but both had multiple open sites. We were hoping to spend a night or two at wildcat but it was sold out. Im guessing there were no shows there as well. THANK YOU!!!

Beautiful
@DevinL75E5AF06 · Camped on Aug 21, 2025
Comfortable campground just a short-ish hike (a mile and a half) from parking. Great place to start your trip! Bathrooms and trash are in good shape and more than adequate for the small campground. Water is a little tricky to find after dark. But it's there, I promise!
@MatthewL946768 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #C6
Great area, but beware of trash and debris on beach.
@PeterV7615188 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #W5
Pleasant hike-in campground with nice amenities (potable water, trash disposal, bear lockers, restrooms) right near Alamere Falls and chances to see plenty of wildlife like elk and beach borbs. Site 05 is decently private and closest to a nice viewpoint a short walk away. Started from Palomarin trail which is busier with day hikers but in decent condition. Seems like the Ocean Lake loop section near the camp was recently maintained but overall no severe overgrowth like the nearby Coast trail near Stewart trail the last time I visited the Alamere

Awesome campsite, this one is the closest to the ocean. All you hear is the ocean and the wind it's beautiful. Beware that all morning you'll be inside dense fog so everything gets wet
@PaulC8096585 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #W3
The site is very secluded and yet well-kept. Solid vault toilet, water, storage lockers and tables. The elk kept us awake but their calls are ethereal. The short cliff overlooking the beach and the beach itself were beautiful. Hard to believe you are <2 hours from SF, let's keep it on the DL (:
@AndrewG6411791 · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #C11
Hike is less than an hour on a flat gravel road. Water tastes good and campsites are very nice. Our campsite and the neighboring one had separate trails to go to the bathroom which is nice. Beach is beautiful with lots of tide pools and rocks to the south.
@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #W4
Great location, clean toilet facilities, decent primitive campsite. If you want to hike to Alamere Falls, be sure to do it at low tide. It can't be reached at high, or mid tide.
@Christoph034DB · Camped on Aug 8, 2025
This really isnt a nice campsite unfortunately. Between the loud group site and the smelly toilets, its not exactly getting away from it all. They really could have thought this one out a bit better. This should be a free campsite given the conditions
@GregP7824948 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025
Stayed at camp 1 and luckily we had shade nearby. There was not an established area for a tent so we found an area close to the trees and it was a tad lumpy but with sleeping pads its fine. It gets a lot of foot traffic from passersby going to get water or continuing on the trail. One positive is how close you are to the water and bathroom and an open area my son and I played frisbee. The hike in is only 1.3 miles with a steady grade on the way in. My ten year old did amazing carrying his pack and trudging through the warm weather. More than half the camp spots do not have shade so I recommend bringing something or else youll cook in warm weather and will have to find shade.

Outstanding!
@JOELOCCD25116A · Camped on Jul 29, 2025
Me and my kids stayed at sky one night, Glen one night and coast one night. scenery was amazing. I expected grasslands with a few trees and ended up seeing amazing wooded areas, fern and huckleberry covered trails to our surprise. Overall campsites were great, all but the Glen number 10 were spacious with a fair amount of privacy. The coastal views from the hill areas were amazing. The pit toilets are relatively clean. The water was easy to find and use. Already thinking about our next trip to Point Reyes.

Great campsite with nice separation of individual sites, clean toilets, and potable water. Z Ranch Trail needs better marking to Horse Trail and clearing of fallen trees. Trail to Sculptured Beach overgrown; otherwise, great hike.
@RandallS779762 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #S5
Great campsite at Sky Camp. Be warned about the very wet summer fog. Indistinguishable from rain, so come prepared.
@JeffreyH206902 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #W7
Excellent location.
@PeterG8163131 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #S3
Beautiful hike to the campground. The site itself was well taken care of, very quiet, and had good views.
@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #S6
One of my favorite places to camp, awesome backpacking sites, great memories every time!
@JenniferE3D246 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #C3
Point Reyes never disappoints. Well maintained campsites, beautiful uncrowded beaches and trails. Whale watching from the trail was a bonus this year!
@ChristineK9918 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025
Beautiful misty morning with birdsong and so many banana slugs under the trees! We set up our tent off to one side on some wood chips and it was wonderfully private and comfortable. Site #1. Loved this campground!
@AvaP693CC8171D · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #G12
I had a wonderful experience the facilities where well maintained and the site was wonderful. All paths where overgrown so if you have poison oak sensitivity please be aware of this and plan accordingly.
@DanielV1589109 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #S11
Hike from Bear Valley visitor center to Sky campground was beautiful but very overgrown, check clothing for ticks. Hiked sky and bear valley trails to complete the 12.5 mile loop. Beautiful and challenging hike overall.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
