Point Reyes National Seashore Campground

Great time, incredible scenery. Absolutely fantastic destination for first-time backpackers with vault toilets, running water, and trash cans. Not much elevation, campsites are set far apart. The other amazing thing is my friend lost his Oura ring and Ranger Fiona emailed AND texted to me to tell me that they found it in on picnic table at the Glen campsite we stayed. THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND. Only downside was Fire Lane Trail connector from Sky to Coast was compeltely overgrown and I had a massive patch of poison oak rash on my lower leg. Good times!

Tule Rule!

Epic as always. Get there folks.

Camped 1 night at Wild cat . Site was surrounded by thistle with barely a path leading to it . Bathrooms were clean and well serviced . Trail from Bear Valley was overgrown and full of stinging nettles and thistle so we went on the stewart trail so we could see where we step. Sites in the past were cleared out and paths were discernable. Overall it was fun.

Probably my favorite beach-side campground in the Bay Area. I’ve stayed at another campground along the coast in Watsonville but it was far too windy and hard to get to the beach. At this campsite, I was only a 3 min walk from endless coastline and the tall flowers blocked virtually all of the wind from rattling my tent.

Beautiful nature 😊🌊🌲

Such a great campground. We stayed in site 04, which has a view of the ocean and space for two backpacking tents. We saw deer, rabbits, and (beware!) a chill skunk. The potable water genuinely tastes good, and the beach is so peaceful and accessible by a short path from the campground. Bear box was and picnic table were clean and well-maintained. We hiked in from Laguna trailhead, which was a 1.9 mi hike on a well-maintained trail with a small amount of up and down. Perfect for a first backpacking trip with kids. Highly recommend - can't wait to go back.

30 minutes uphill from the Sky parking lot to the campsite. The trail is wide enough for service vehicles to drive through, so it's feasible for a determined person to pull a wagon up to their site. Site 4 is a bit higher in elevation than Site 3 so you can look into their campsite but they can't see yours. Site 5 is close enough that normal conversation carries between the two sites but there's high vegetation obstructing the view.

Standing on the picnic table bench gives you a really nice view of the ocean. The bathroom is a two minute walk downhill from the site. Takes about 1.5hrs to hike between the Sky and Coast campgrounds following Sky/Woodward Valley/Coast trails. Large sections of the Coast Trail were overgrown so I recommend wearing pants.

No service with Verizon at the campsite, but 0.5 mi following the Sky Trail we were able to get two bars at the intersection the Mount Wittenberg and Meadow trails.

A beautiful park, but come prepared for strong winds.

Well-kept campgrounds and trails. Sky Campground is centrally located for hikes to beaches. Bear lockers provide a place to keep your gear out of the nightly fog.
