Horse trail from BV visitor center to Coast camp is FULL of poison oak and very narrow so no way to avoid contact.
The trails and campsites were pristine, other campers quiet and polite.
What a blessing to have this beautiful chunk of nature.

OK, the only reason i didn't give higher stars is at the intersection of going to Alamere Falls or continuing to Wildcat and beyond, has a rock arrow....should have signage there. We took that detour with 30lb packs and then had to circle back. ALL IN ALL, amazing site and the beach was spectacular.

Stayed at coast one night and glen the other. The camps were nice. As soon as I got home I started planning another trip with my family.

My son and I camped at campsite 7 on a late August Thursday night. The reservation was made about two weeks prior. The day was a rare clear day on the coast. We parked at the Laguna Trailhead and backpacked the 1.9 miles to Coast Camp. The first .5 miles is uphill and then the trail flattens out for a while. The last .75 mile is downhill to camp. It was a moderate hike. I did not take hiking poles but I will next time because of pack. We found our campsite easily and the access to the beach. On this clear day the beach was a big draw. We ate all our meals at the beach. The low tide was at 9:30pm so we spent much of the evening checking out the tide pools at the rocks. There was so much animal life. There was not much drift wood so we were not able to have a fire on the beach. The potable water was very drinkable and I will not bother packing water for our next trip. We had a spectacular time and will be back soon.
I have AT&T and had cell service at the beach and campsite

Easy permitting and clear instructions. I don’t know how, but they need to figure out a better way to ensure permit holders actually use them. We booked the only remaining site at Sky and Coast camps but both had multiple open sites. We were hoping to spend a night or two at wildcat but it was sold out. I’m guessing there were no shows there as well.
THANK YOU!!!

Pleasant hike-in campground with nice amenities (potable water, trash disposal, bear lockers, restrooms) right near Alamere Falls and chances to see plenty of wildlife like elk and beach borbs. Site 05 is decently private and closest to a nice viewpoint a short walk away. Started from Palomarin trail which is busier with day hikers but in decent condition. Seems like the Ocean Lake loop section near the camp was recently maintained but overall no severe overgrowth like the nearby Coast trail near Stewart trail the last time I visited the Alamere

Comfortable campground just a short-ish hike (a mile and a half) from parking. Great place to start your trip! Bathrooms and trash are in good shape and more than adequate for the small campground. Water is a little tricky to find after dark. But it's there, I promise!
