The Coast Trail is overgrown with Poison Oak, so it is hard to avoid brushing against it. Ticks are also transferred by walking through the high grass that brushes against your clothes.

Incredible campground, great and rewarding hike in, fantastic beach access. Easily one of my favorite campsites in Northern California. Highly recommend walking south down the beach to see the waterfall.

Beautiful trail. In some parts is overgrown but doable.I dont recommend hiking poles and hiking boots are not necessary.The campground is very nice and the bathrooms are clean and dont smell it all.

The new concrete tables are cold at night but so nice not to have old wood/splintery tables and the new bear boxes are amazing - mice aren't going to get your food anymore so you don't have to bring a bear canister.

We camped here 1 night on the worst weather. Forecast said there'd be thunder stomp with 100% rain in both Sunday and Monday! We debated if we should go or not, but we had a free President's Day so what the heck, we did. It's raining hard with wind gust sometime up to 30 mph! My friend's tent was destroyed over the night! The campground is an open valley without any trees, so there's no wind coverage. The bathroom is vault toilet so it's stink but clean enough. Since there's no one at the campground except one girl at site #6, we camped at site #7 instead of group camp site #1. The trails are well maintained but muddy at some parts. The best thing about this campground is it's very close to Alamere falls, about a mile walk on the beach. Overall, it's a great experience and good backpacking trip for beginners.

A beautiful location and a well-maintained campsite.

Campground has lots of space, with individual and group campsites. If you reserve a group site, there is room for 5-7 tents. Right next to the beach. Bring a tent: fog or dew make it wet at night. Short walk to Alamere Falls, even going in the drought. About a 3 hour walk in from any direction.

Both the 6 mile hike from the Palomarin trailhead along the Coast Trail to Wildcat camp was amazing. The winding trail took us to amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, inland lakes and tree covered areas, stopping at Alamere Falls, before reaching our camp.
Each campsite fells secluded with the tall vegetation surrounding each site. The restrooms were well maintained!
Cant wait to return!

I found it one of the best backpacking campgrounds I've ever used. Clean bathrooms and convenient water. I was impressed that you had trash bins.

Great site
@RichardG336· Camped on Feb 15, 2021 at Campsite #W1
I love Wildcat. But the reservation system needs an overhaul/upgrade. There is rarely a campsite available to reserve, yet when you are fortunate enough to stay there you find over 50% unoccupied for the entire time you are there. This has happened every time I have been there. Please consider an incentive (ie partial refund perhaps?) to allow for cancellations and waiting lists for the popular sites. This is such a waste and quite frustrating trying to plan a trip. Also, a way to coordinate sharing a group campsite among multiple smaller unaffiliated groups would be awesome, and be a more efficient use of those otherwise unused sites.

If there are speed tests submitted for a campground the campsite icons will be colored based on the average download speed and the border will be colored based on the average upload speed.
In this example Campsite #123 has very good download speeds and decent upload speeds. If a campsite has a solid yellow color it means there was no data speed detected in the test(s). Clicking on a campsite icon reveals more details.
