I don’t necessarily want to encourage everyone to get out there because that may make it harder for me.
And this is the first time I have seen so many people bike camping- which is definitely doable. So maybe the influencers have figured it out.
But, I think it is a magical place. And it is as billed.
There is running drinkable water and bathrooms.
And the sunsets can be epic.

Great spot! Took my 9 year old daughter on her first backpacking trip and it was a perfect level (moderate uphill, less than 1.5 mi) and gorgeous. We had a great time

Such a beautiful campground! Saw whales spouting from our site, plus deer, quail and (eek) a pair of skunks. Poison oak is plentiful. FYI the toilets have toilet paper and there are trash cans. A big thank you to Darlene and the chief park ranger for their kindness and assistance as we were leaving!

Great location. A weather check is a must. Don't underestimate the wind-chill factor when determining what clothes to bring and how to orient your tent. What you choose will make a difference.

It was my first time here. I was backpacking alone for the first time in many many years and this was a great place to go to start getting back into it. I hiked the shorter way in and one of the rangers recommended I take the longer road out which was fantastic. I had an elk bugling by my site all night which was awesome too.

Coast campground is a gorgeous place to introduce folks to backpacking. Our neighbors were messy so their camp was raided by critters and they were extremely loud in their attempts to deal with it. Also the water stopped working in the evening and the rangers did not seem to care at all.

I love point Reyes and my favorite backpacking camp is wildcat. The only problem I had was that the potable water was yellow in color. It tasted pretty bad. I then hiked up to sky camp, where the water was nice and clear and tasted good.

Easy and flat 2.8 mi hike on the coast trail to a lovely site. We saw whales, elk, quail, bunnies and bats! Super close to the long sandy beach and water access. Remember to put all your things in the box at night to protect them from critters and the morning dew.
