Wildcat has many sites spread across the top of a cliff overhanging a sandy beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There are vault toilets, running water, and plenty of space between sites with some low growing bushes for a medium sense of privacy. The ocean waves are very mild background noise due to the cliff deflecting the roar significantly. I saw sea otters down the beach among the kelp. There are some rock formations along the beach for exploring. Never turn your back to the sea. If you get caught in a sneaker wave, don't try and move your limbs out from the sand, but try and anchor yourself until the wave washes back out to the ocean, then make a dash for higher ground. The waves can get massive and come up to the foot of the cliffs so I'd advise observing the surf when atop the cliff before taking the trail down to the beach.

Such a magical place!! We biked in and camped out for 2 nights. Easy 2.8 mi ride going back was a little harder because of the uphill. But will definitely be going back soon!

Beautiful area. Bathroom was very clean and well stocked, regardless of a very large group camping there at the same time. Trails well maintained. Camp site very clean. Even had a large rock there for tent stake pounding. Thank you for keeping this area in such great shape!!

Stayed in site 6, very nice clean campground. Site 6 is completely shaded so it was a bit chilly when we were there but would probably be lovely when warmer. It is the farthest site from the bathroom and you do have to go up a small hill to reach it.

Stayed in site 7, it is a beautiful site up on the bluff. New tables and bear boxes are so nice! Access to the beach is a bit of a scramble when we were there, looks like there was a bit of rock slide/errosion.

This was my first time staying at this campground, I usually use wildcat. This place is amazing the sites are well secluded and access to the beach is easy. Tons of wildlife. Site 6 is pretty far from the bathroom but that didn't bother us.

Be sure to check the high tide times so that your mile walk down to the waterfall is as 'dry' as possible. :_)
If rain is in the forecast Wildcat Camp it is a good idea to have rain tarps, but more importantly practice setting up a tarp without any trees.

Just make sure for campsites 1-7 to pack something to sleep on or else you will feel rocks on the ground through the tent. Other than that, it's awesome

The trail was basically a road, easy to follow on foot or bicycle. Campsites were clean and cared for. Each campsite from #1-7 had an abundance of poison oak on the perimeter, but that is natural. Restrooms were clean and well-stocked with toilet paper, even in the face of federal budget cuts for the national parks. Overall, a wonderful place to recreate.

The visitor center staff were friendly and helpful. I always check-in to see if there are any trail conditions I need to know about. The trails and campsite were well maintained. This is a heavily used campground and it looked well cared for. Though signage for the specific campsites was hard to find.

Alamere Falls is a short beach hike from the Wildcat camp. But make sure to check on the tides as you cannot get there at high tide.
