Magical place.

Site was clean, spaced out from other spots, only issue was the ground was very hard and bent my stakes (I assume after a few rainfalls it would be perfect), and the distance to the latrine from spots 4-7 is a bit farther than I would like at night

Great trip but be careful of the overgrown trails!
@JacobB1049072 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #C4
Some of the less traveled trails are quite overgrown as of April 2024. While my partner and I never lost the trail, there were times when it became questionable.Also lots of downed trees, currently.

Site 4, like other reviews have said, is fully visible from the passing trail way. I pitched my single person tent behind the picnic table to get some privacy. The space for tents is situated on a slanted elevation, so I don't think water would pool up there too bad at all. It did rain on the morning of departure and my footprint collected some water on the flat spot by the table. As far as food storage goes, the bear bin is brand new! The trash collection was halted due to the truck being in maintenance so it was a pack-in pack-out situation. The trash receptacles are permanent fixtures with bear-proof lids w/ separate chutes for recycle and whatnot. Potable water spigots are at sites 8 and near the dual outhouse between sites 9 & 12.Great Campground! Caught some fish :) (be careful, the surf can get rough and pull a person out here)

The camp is quite open (people can see the entire setup when they walk by) but not many people walk by, nice and quiet. Water and bathrooms are a short walk, but the other camps (1, 2, 3) are a bit closer if that is a concern. Pretty small area to set up camp, just fit two tents (2P and 3P). Small dips collect water when rain happens, and table area not well shaded from the wind (can't speak for other camps). Still a very fun and cute site!

Point Reyes National Seashore is amazing! The trails were well maintained and each one was beautiful. There was varied terrain as we hiked from the visitor's center to Coast campsite, then Coast to Wildcat and then back to Bear Valley Visitors Center on the third day. The campgrounds were well maintained and the food caches were great to have right at the campsite. The rangers at Bear Valley Visitors Center were helpful, friendly and gave us excellent advice. Overall a fantastic experience! We will be back soon!

Very pleasant experience. Site was clean and very close to the coastline.
@TrondKCEB293E8 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #C4
Fantastic hiking in Point Reyes with great camp sites both in Sky and Coast
@TammyS4240620 · Camped on Jul 26, 2023 at Campsite #C4
Backpacked trailhead to Coast then hiked over to Wildcat, then out. Trail from Coast to Wildcat is longer than map says by ~15-20%, so beware.Otherwise, super great and fun trip. Fresh water at every campground, as well as sit-down pit toilets, trash cans, and bear boxes at every site. Luxury backpacking! Note, not much fresh water access between campgrounds - leave your water pumps and iodine pills at home, but bring extra water containers for the hikes.

Well kept. Nice to have a bear box, toilet, and water when you get to camp. This is my favorite place to go
@KabileshV61783 · Camped on Apr 22, 2023 at Campsite #C4
Was a very easy hike. And the camp spot was amazing. We had lots of space and good privacy. It's a good beginners backpacking trip.
@Katherine16020 · Camped on Apr 19, 2023 at Campsite #C4
Coast camp is always a gem, such a beautiful place and a reasonable hike to get there. We were in site 5, which had a nice area around the picnic table and food locker, and a separate flat area for the tent. It was a short walk to the trash/water/bathrooms. Very clean and peaceful!
@JohnG494 · Camped on Nov 21, 2021 at Campsite #C4
A real gem without leaving the Bay Area. Beautiful beaches, well-maintained trails, starry night skies, wildlife. So nice to get away without going too far.
@RachelG144 · Camped on Oct 14, 2021 at Campsite #C4
Nice campsite with clean bathroom and easy access to water. Great access to beaches! The only downside was that there were a lot of flies—especially at the campsite itself, but also some at the beach. Not sure if this is a year-round phenomenon or if it varies with the seasons. We were here in October.
@PaulMichaelY59 · Camped on Oct 12, 2021 at Campsite #C4
I have been going to Point Reyes since I was in the 6th grade. I am now approaching 55. My love for this beautiful place grows each and every year! And, I am so fortunate to be able to share this place with others. What’s not to love!
@SamanthaA368 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #C4
The coast campground is phenomenal. Ocean views from the site were lovely, and the sites are well spaced.
The glen campground is also very pretty. One caveat is that the area creates almost an amphitheater effect where folks down in the bottom area echo into the upper sites (I was in site 7). People went to bed in there quite early, and because the sites were so close together, we had to whisper to make sure we didn't disturb others! I would recommend that campground for folks who go to bed earlier :)

Hiked in on coast trail (~3miles gravel road), and out on the fire lane trail (~2miles hiking trail). Highly recommend taking the fire lane trail. Camped at site 04- had a view of the ocean from our tent which was cool, but during the afternoon the campsite had extreme sun exposure (zero shade) and was HOT even on a 68F day. Campsite was also really dusty - the sites by the outhouse and water looked less dusty. Outhouse was impressively clean. Ocean beach was beautiful- stunning cliffs, etc. Would be nice to return when the trails going to Sky Campsite are open again.
All things considered, this was a great experience. the trip was my wife’s first time backpacking and she loved it!

Beautiful! Perfect for kids or beginning backpackers!
@FaisG464 · Camped on Jun 11, 2021 at Campsite #C4
Fantastic campsite, great views and a few steps away from the beautiful secluded beach!
@JessicaS970 · Camped on May 24, 2021 at Campsite #C4
We could see the ocean from the site. Short path from the site to the beach, well maintained bathrooms and trash, extensive trails connecting the campsite to the National seashore. It was beautiful at sunset.
@MaryS674 · Camped on May 19, 2021 at Campsite #C4
In spite of some VERY windy conditions, and an injury (totally my fault), this remains my favorite spot to camp. Everything was clean, neat, and functioning. Our site had a great view of the ocean from the picnic table. The ranger was very accommodating in canceling my second night, as I needed to seek medical attention for my foot (it's fine, but looked and felt pretty bad at the time). Hoping I can get a do-over on this trip before the summer is over. It's so nice here.
