Please use only main kinda road, I think it's called Stewart's trail. All the other trails go through major poison oak, stinging nettle, and spider web areas.

Great location for a beginner backpacking trip for a group of middle school kids. We enjoyed tide-pooling , playing on the beach, and watching seals or sea lions swimming. The food lockers, toilet, drinking water, and trash made the trip easy. The views were beautiful. Watch out for poison oak!

We loved being able to walk in a short ways to camp overnight near the ocean. The site was a bit lumpy and there were lots of kids around. We enjoyed it overall, it was nice to have potable water, a bathroom, trash, and a picnic table. We saw some wildlife including a Coyote, many birds, slugs, and sea lions.

First time backpacking to Coast Camp and highly recommend the Bear Valley Trail to the Coast Trail if you're a beginner. I appreciated the easy access to the beach and potable water. Site 9 is close to the restroom and where you place your tent is right on desire's path for folks to get to the restroom which was kind of a drag. Definitely plan on having a rain tarp - it's a windy campground and dewy. Even though there were 2 large groups at Coast Camp and it seemed every site was taken, once the sun went down people respected the quiet hour. Lovely sunset, lots of wildflowers on the trail.
