Of all the campsites in Point Reyes, Glen camp provides the most "wilderness" experience. It is easy to forget that you are minutes away from urban areas.

I come back every year. This is a wonderful place to unwind and settle into geologic time.

We stayed at Glen and Coast campgrounds. Glen was great...secluded. No wind. Overall very enjoyable. Coast was OK, it was extremely windy the day we went. What is great about these campgrounds is they have potable water and toilets. Plus places to sit (a cement bench) and bear lockers. This makes camping for novices like myself to be much more enjoyable. It still is hard sleeping on dirt, but it's camping overall.Generally quite impressed with the trails too. Occasionally they get overgrown, but overall they were great.

There were so many mosquitoes. No one was prepared for it. Everyone just hid in their tents or under blankets. I really wanted to go to the beach and watch the sunset or sunrise but the moment it cooled down for the afternoon and morning, it felt like I was constantly swarmed by 50 of them.

Sky Camp is really beautiful. If the fog rolls back, the view of the ocean especially at sunset is amazing! The campground ran out of water the night we were there, that's why I took off a star. Not good if you plan for potable water. Any trails to the coast are overgrown with tons of plants, including poison oak. Fire road from Sky Trailhead was great-- watch out for thousands of banana slugs! Sites 11 and 12 were off the beaten path.

Awesome 3 day 2 night trip. Great campgrounds, major plus for water at each campsite. Took the bear valley to coast to Glen route. Would do again for sure, maybe turn it onto 3 nights and add sky camp.

Good hike. Nice campsite. A bit close to other campers. Nice and sheltered from the weather.

There were three of us in two tents and we spent the first night at Sky #3 and the second at Glenn #5. Next time I go to Sky, I will try a different spot, one further away from the group site (#2) and see if it has more space for 8. If we had another tent at that site, it would have been on more of a slope. Glenn #5 was much more level and a beautiful site. Animal canisters are newish at both sites and in great shape. Make sure to check in and get a parking pass for your car. I dont believe this is mentioned in the reservations.

Nice secluded camp spot! 4/5 stars due to the lack of sunlight and how dark the campsite was compared to some of the more exposed/open sites. With that said, this ended up being a big plus as none of our stuff was wet or damp in the morning due to the tree coverage. Other campers at more exposed sites had to dry their gear out in the sun the next morning.It was pretty warm the weekend i went though (low 70s and high 40s), so the spot could be damp on cooler days. Nonetheless it was a very quiet and cozy campground. Would love to come back again.

Everything was excellent, including the weather. Hike to Glenn campground with 40lb pack was difficult for an old geezer, but not impossible. Hike to beach and waterfall was beautiful and well worth it - and easier without a backpack. Take hiking trail back - beautiful. One recommendation - installing lending libraries at each camp ground

Partner and I went in late August for 2 nights of backpacking. Overall, park staff were friendly, available, and knowledgeable at the entrance. The trails were very well maintained. On day 2, about 0.2 miles into our trail, we came across a team of 4 clearing the trail from the over growth. Day hikes were enjoyable to see the landscapes change from tall trees, and blossoming flowers, to wide open beaches and seashore exploring. Stars were stunning at Sky camp, and Glen camp was absolute tranquility. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Secured trash bins at each camp site and clean drinking water at camp. Loved my first experience ant Point Reyes and It wont be the last. 10/10 would recommend as its also a good place to ease friends to Backpacking.

Glen Camp is often thought of as the last choice for camping in Point Reyes, but it’s not bad at all. The some of the sites are nicely secluded and the scenery is pretty. The coast isn’t too far of a hike from camp and Glen is a nice distance for a new backpacker. Don’t forget to bring bug repellent or a mosquito net as there are mosquitoes.

Beautiful park. Well marked trails. There were a few trees blocking trails, but we went right after a big storm. Visiting the park headquarters (Bear Valley) on our way in turned out to be a good call. A helpful ranger showed us tide charts and recommended a few beach spots not marked on any maps. Both campgrounds we stayed at were in great shape - picnic tables, food lockers, and potable water. Bathrooms were nothing fancy (vault toilets), but they were well stocked and maintained.

Great trip, thank you!

The site was clean and flat with plenty of room for a few smaller tents. Only one other site was occupied midweek in October. Bathrooms were pristine. Tap water was cloudy but settled out. Another camper was concerned and filtered their water.

We had a lovely stay! We parked at Palomarin trailhead and hiked about 8 or 9 miles to camp. Glen #5 was a great site; it was pretty and private. I would avoid sites #1 and #2, since they were close to the very smelly vault toilet. Id also try to avoid #3, #4, #9, and #11; they did not look very private. Site #5 was great, though.

Point Reyes is lovely, a cool, quiet, forested getaway in the summertime.

Wonderful recent backpacking trips to Glen and sky.

This site had great soft soil that had tree cover, so planting stakes for my tent was easy. Most of the other sites seemed exposed and too hard to use a non freestanding tent. I would go back.

The trails were beautiful! It was sad to see how much has burned, but wonderful to see new growth! The campsites were nice and the restrooms were about as clean as can be expected. Overall, a great experience!
