In late April 2024 after setting up camp at Wildcat Campground, having hiked in from the Palomarin TH, day-hiked down the beach 1 mi to the beautiful Alamere Falls, visited, and back. Hiked down during the remaining ebb tide and back during the early flood tide, with the low tide in between. Consulted tide charts before the backpack trip to schedule my day hike timing.

Sky Camp was wonderful, clean, well maintained. The trails were all marked well. My only complaint , was that the top of Mt. Wittenberg (don't expect a view) and the loop trail up there, were not marked well, but that was a minor issue. The park is amazing, it is managed and maintained beautifully. Please don't be a "no show" for camping reservations. Cancel if you can't come!! So many people want to enjoy it, and can't because of empty campsites. Just because you paid for it doesn't mean that you should be selfish about it. Cancel!!!!

Unparalleled ocean views, gorgeous forests dripping with lichen. Greatest lighthouse you’ll ever visit. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. An amazing wildness experience!

Having hiked in from the Five Brooks trailhead, I recommend not taking the Greenpicker or Ridge trail as there are sections of mud and largely overgrown parts. On the Greenpicker trail, there is a section of downed trees. Is it not officially marked or updated, but there is a short detour to the right of the downed trees. If you are going to take either of these trails, I would highly advise wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants and checking yourself for ticks occasionally. These trails can get narrow and stinging nettle and poison oak bulge into your path from time to time. Avoid these trails after a day/night of rain. If any Point Reyes personnel reads this, please use the money and send people to cut some invasive plants on these trails.

Site #2 is very close to the restroom and potable water. This site has some privacy but people using the restroom will be able to see your campsite. However, this site is well-shaded unlike #10 which is in the middle of the campground and everyone can see you. Had no issues pitching my tent as the ground was soft. Bear lockers were functional.

Best campsite for a group as it is a little further from other sites. I felt it can fit up to 14 single person tents. New food lockers and concrete picnic tables have been installed. Had a wonderful experience, looking forward to coming back again.

Alternate between Wildcat and Coast Campground multiple times a year. Always a pleasant experience. Same day permitting process is easy for those spontaneous trips. Hiked to Wildcat via Bear Valley > Glen > Stewart trails rather than normal route using Palomarin (*road is under construction so check first!)
Challenging but beautiful hike, up over and down to the ocean.
Looking forward to next time already.

Loved it! Just prepare for long weeds on some of the northern trails, such as the fire trail or bayview
