Get a headlight with a red setting or just use it sparingly- the stars are beautiful out here and half the campsites are visible to eachother so its polite not to spotlight/blind other campers so everyone can enjoy the night sky. Also, its the bay area so its gotta be said- dont bring your dog! Plenty of other campsites allow dogs- this isnt one of them. There is fog at some point every night and condensation in tents is inevitable- having a water resistant blanket on top of your sleeping bag is a good way to stay relatively warm and dry.

Point Reyes never disappoints. Well maintained campsites, beautiful uncrowded beaches and trails. Whale watching from the trail was a bonus this year!

Great location. You can hear and see the ocean from this site!

Amazing as always! Love that its a short enough distance that our 4 year olds can easily hike there themselves. Definitely recommend getting a fire permit from the visitor center so you can have a fire on the breach!

Tide pooling at the beach was a wonderful experience

Mid week was uncrowded. Second day from Coast Camp to Glen Camp was a long 16 mile day and Wildcat Camp would be a shorter day. Some fog but generally good weather.

I love Coast Camp!! Easy hike in with access to the beach. Appreciated being in the campsites up the hill that were surrounded by brush they provided a windbreak.

Had a good time, manageable hiking distances between campsites and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend a trip here. Make sure to bring sun block not much shade in the Coast Campground.

#3 can fit 2 two person tents. You can see ocean from the picnic table - the sunset was beautiful! The locker is new. The bathroom is on the other side of the campground, but I like sites 1-7 with more seclusion. Short walk to the beach. There are total 14 sites. 2,3,5,7 and 11 sites are released 14 days ahead; 9 is released on the same day; others sites are released 3 months ahead. I love this campground. Its only 3-4 miles hike with minimal elevation from Laguna trailhead and 6.5 miles hike with 1100ft gain. Beautiful hike to the campground and there are lots to explore near by. The walk along the beach to sculpture beach when low tide is must, but check the tide schedule with the ranger before you explore.

Bear Valley to Coast Camp over the ridge is a doable overnighter. Loved our stay and the beauty of the campsite.

I thoroughly enjoyed my hike and campsites. The perfect weather was a huge plus. The trail is well maintained and the campsites are reasonably private.

Site was clean and had nice views of ocean. One large tent pad, could fit 2 small 2 person tents on. The other flat area had a half buried grill sticking out of the ground. Second time staying in this area, being up in the cove is much nicer and well worth the walk to water faucets and bathrooms

Nice sites, everyone is either hard pack rocky dirt or grass so bring a pad. Nicely sheltered from the wind

The site is well maintained. Sites 1-7 are separate from the side with amenities, but I didn't mind the short walk to the facilities. Sites 1-7 are on a hillside, so each one has a terraced view of the ocean without having to look at your neighbors. Some parts of the trail and even low lying spots by the toilets are still muddy and waterlogged, so watch your step!

Some really nice updates to coast camp in the last year. New picnic tables, bear boxes, new horse hitches. I really enjoy camping here when I can get a spot.

Beautiful area, enjoy it! Pit toilets are a nice luxury when backpacking haha. Please leave no trace! (There was trash here and there)

It was a great site where you can see the ocean and had 2 nice flat spots. The sites were very private so you won't see your neighbors but you could still see them. People that day were respectful and were quiet during quiet hours. It's a bit of a walk to the bathroom but most of the normal sites are like that.

Beautiful campsite, with ocean views! Easy access to the beach, and great hiking all around. Two very well cleared and flat tent pitch areas with very friendly bunnies to keep you entertained

If your staying at coast camp and you want some privacy make sure you camp in #1 through #7

Amazing campground, easy access to toilets and water. Campsite was big enough for 2 tents. Could get a little windy occasionally.

Our camping trip was cut short because of the tsunami advisory. The park staff handled it really well. Thanks to Ranger Bonnie who got us to high ground. Coast Camp is beautiful and we will try again.

The campground was really lit (as always) such a magical place to step away from the business of life 4 a short while - and all within a pebbles toss of San Francisco, Marin county, and the greater Bay Area. Can’t recommend enough. Fun4 all
