Coast Campground site #1 is well-protected from the wind, which was nice. Water and bathroom isn't too far of a walk, and beach access is great. The site is small, and is advertised as fitting 6 people. There were 6 in our party and it was very tight fitting 3 backpacking tents. It really should be advertised as fitting 4 people.

I just loved the Coast campground. Sunsets were amazing, it was clean, no problem getting stakes into the ground, and water was good. Bathrooms were also surprisingly clean. I did not need extra toilet paper I brought. It is not far from the beach, and had plenty of wildlife.

Point Reyes in October is Beautiful! Early mornings were foggy/damp/drizzly, but the sun came out later in the mornings during my stay. Site 1 seems to have the best view of the ocean out of all the sites, though 2 and 3 also looked good. While sites 1-7 were each pretty private (especially compared to 8-14), #1 was probably the least private of the bunch - which was fine for me, it was still spaced out from the others and surrounded by brush. The bear box for site 1 in particular required some persistence to get open - more than the usual bear box.

even though it was cold temperatures and one night with pouring rain and strong winds, most campsites, both at Sky and Coast camps were occupied, so plan well ahead to reserve a site for a wonderful Pt. Reyes experience.

Nirvana by-the-sea. What else can I say?

fantastic site; lots of wildlife. Deer, bunnies, quails, seals, pelicans. but watch also for racoons.
such a peaceful place. fairly easy access. Just a few yards from the beach.
table benches are in fairly poor shape and need replacement.
truly a nature lovers place.
Absolutely worth it.

It was a very easy hike over the hill to Coast camp. Then it was a very short walk from the camp to the beach so be sure to go down there and watch the waves crash on the shore. It’s an excellent place to go for a one night get away!

The camp was clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. A wonderful place to camp.

We took the longer hike in, and it was a relatively easy 3 mile walk. Site 1 has a nice view of the landscape looking towards the ocean and a fair amount of privacy. We could hear people walking the path if they were talking but otherwise it's a quiet place to camp with friendly campers. Bathroom was clean (and had TP!) and a few minute walk from the non-group sites, but not bad. It was nice that there were garbages and recycling containers available as well as two water spigots in the group camping area. There is a large tree just off the trail to the beach some people hung hammocks in, otherwise no other place to hang a hammock that we saw (Coast Campground). The sun does get quite intense throughout the day so be sure to bring hats, etc.
