Glorious and beautiful campsite. Weather was the worst! Cant control the fact that your bday starts on the first day of an atmospheric river!! Went to bbq but left when we deemed it unsafe. Love the spot though. Not my first, not my last!

What a beautiful spot. I used to camp there with Girl Scouts in the 60s and loved it as much now as I did then.

Best place to see San Francisco and passing ships

Bathrooms are a little far from the day use site, but it's a gorgeous view and worth the hike

The best picnic site in the Bay Area

We love Kirby Cove and have returned there many times.

Just an fyi. The directions to get there were not specific enough. And the golden gate park people had “never heard of Kirby Cove” when asked directions after passing the hard to find entrance. The place itself was amazing!

Beautiful cove! Very well maintained, lots of history and all the rangers and staff are super friendly!

Driving down to the campsite once you entered the secured gated area was easy. We set up a tent and other supplies on the beach, which was about a 300m walk from the parking lot and an elevation difference of about 50m. The campgrounds provided wheelbarrows to haul supplies - which was a lifesaver. The walk and the climb would have made it a very unpleasant experience and would have been time-consuming. The beach views are gorgeous. We went midweek so there weren't many others around, which was nice.

Miss the wheelbarrows…a little concerning someone had homesteaded in the Kirby cove battery.

Stunning views, beautiful beach, clean latrines, well maintained roads and trails - just wonderful! There are lots of hikers that come through, even on the weekdays. Beware the road coming down the hill...drive slow so the hikers don’t eat your dust.

I tried to find how far this site is from the parking spot before booking but I could not find any information. So, since it was marked "accessible", I assumed a person with limited mobility will be able to get there from the car. But it was not the case. There is a steep slope walkway of about 0.8 mile from parking to get to the spot. So we had to abandon our plans and return home.

Beautiful location, great way to spend the day or weekend. If you book a spot, make sure you get the parking pass for the Kirby Cove campground and park near the campsites. The road that leads there is a narrow dirt road with lots of pedestrians so you may not think to drive down it but if you have a campground/picnic site you can unlock the gate and drive down it to the parking lot at the bottom.
