Great experience! I have been backpacking and camping at Point Reyes for 50 years and it never gets old.

Excellent campsite! It has the perfect amount of amenities to be comfortable while still feeling remote. Campsites are nicely spaced and we woke up to wild elk in camp! Bear valley to wild cat was a good climb/decent but friends hiked in from Palomarin and it was easy enough for young kids to do.

Wildcat camp is wonderful. Pretty clean overall, given the huge demand and large number of people using these sites (Kudos to the service staff!). A few wild campers. I have mixed feelings about them. They put demands on the limited services without contributing. But I understand the frustration with having to book it months in advance. But for those who play by the rules, it's a little disheartening.

Our particular campsite (Site 10) happened to be upwind of the outhouse and was a tad smelly at times but it was a very beautiful campground.

Beautiful place! Easy backpacking with clean water, vault toilets, and bear boxes at every site. Toilets were smelly but clean and well-stocked with toilet paper. Glen was extra damp and Sky was a bit windy, but both were beautiful and very safe feeling (it was my first solo trip, so that was a plus). Sky site had more teens and kids and a big group and was louder. Moisture levels were quite high everywhere in the evening and my tent got sopping wet (as did everything else), so recommend proper wet-weather gear even when the sky is clear.

Such a beautiful campsite and view! It was my favorite site hands down ever. The surrounding area was gorgeous, site #5 is the best, high on the hill, great view, lots of shade and trees. Would highly recommend!
