Beautiful spot. If you cannot make your reservation, please cancel it!!!!! I noticed many empty campsites that recreation.gov had shown as booked.

We cycled along the Coast Trail from Laguna Trailhead to the Coast Campground in January. The trip is lovely, easy and flat, and we saw a little group of Tule Elk along the trail. The Coast Campground is in a wonderful location, and the campsites are generously sized and fairly flat. Our only complaint was that the drainage at the spigot was poor, and so it had kind of a swamp around it.

Awesome 3 day 2 night trip. Great campgrounds, major plus for water at each campsite. Took the bear valley to coast to Glen route. Would do again for sure, maybe turn it onto 3 nights and add sky camp.

Great views, short trip to Allamere falls. Was lucky enough to see one coyote and ten Tule Elk passing through camp during the two days I was there. Clean toilet, running water, garbage pickup, picnic table, food storage locker -- really nice facilities for backpacking!

Amazing as always! Love that it’s a short enough distance that our 4 year olds can easily hike there themselves. Definitely recommend getting a fire permit from the visitor center so you can have a fire on the breach!

Good weather for January but got cold at night. Bathroom and potable water a plus. There are miles of beach to explore. Did some day hiking and watched the sunset before lighting our beach fire. Awesome place.

Easy to get the permit, rules are well-posted and not extraordinary. We saw a volunteer and a ranger checking permits on the trail. Good encounter. We saw a restroom/trash service worker both days we were at Wildcat. Restrooms were clean, lots of toilet paper.
