Point Reyes National Seashore Campground

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 mi to Coast Camp. The first .5 mi is uphill and then the trail flattens out for a while. The last .75 mi 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!!!

Beautiful

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!

Great area, but beware of trash and debris on beach.

The site is very secluded and yet well-kept. Solid vault toilet, water, storage lockers and tables. The elk kept us awake but their calls are ethereal. The short cliff overlooking the beach and the beach itself were beautiful. Hard to believe you are <2 hours from SF, let's keep it on the DL (:

Awesome campsite, this one is the closest to the ocean. All you hear is the ocean and the wind it's beautiful. Beware that all morning you'll be inside dense fog so everything gets wet

Hike is less than an hour on a flat gravel road. Water tastes good and campsites are very nice. Our campsite and the neighboring one had separate trails to go to the bathroom which is nice. Beach is beautiful with lots of tide pools and rocks to the south.
