The camp itself is well maintained. My only complaint is that the reservations were very hard to make. I had to stalk the website to get the first night, and then the day we were leaving I was able to get a second night. We hiked into camp fully expecting a loaded camp ground. Instead we found only two other campers and on the second night only one other camp site was occupied. It would be wonderful if people had the common courtesy to cancel their reservations when they know they're not coming to make it available for others.
Other than that, the trail was beautiful, the weather was great and it was an overall good experience.

Had a very nice trip to Coast Camp. Stayed at campsite #4. If you book #4 it only has space for two tents. It worked for us since there was only two of us staying there.
The new raccoon boxes are better than the old ones which were not rodent proof.
Take a short side trip to the volcanic outcropping south of camp off the Coast Trail. Awesome views from up there.

It was the best experience for my first backpacking trip and the beach is the best beach I’ve ever seen. This place is the best place for backpacking

I had a great time, as always. There was an air of fear though. With the recent storms and the wind on the coast it felt extremely dangerous. Branches were falling and flying all around me. It made sleeping through the night next to impossible. Just loud cracking and crashing noises everywhere. On my hike out a huge tree had fallen over the trail overnight. I feel like they should’ve blocked off this particular camp off (Glen camp) until the soil had a chance to stabilize.

Site 6 seems to have been graded badly at the tent area. I'm not sure if this was because of the recent rains, or some other factor. It should not take too long to level.

Beautiful campsite. Be aware of coyotes, spotted 3 on 3/2/23 within the campground near the pit toilet and near the campsite. Ran off when I talked loudly to them, but they're around. Very chilly and windy but worth it for the view of the sunset.

Breathtaking. Geologically tumultuous. An elaborate array of fauna and floral. Kind and courteous staff. DO IT.

We spent one night at Wildcat Camp and one night at Sky Camp. Wildcat is always busy--it was busy this time too, with most of the sites occupied, and the site nearest us occupied by a large group of college-age boys who had clearly brought in some beer! So it was a little noisier than we'd have liked. But the setting is spectacular and the amenities are great. Clean bathrooms, running water, and even garbage so we don't have to pack out our own. We had a beach fire the first night since we'd gotten a permit for it (which you have to get at the visitor center the day of your fire). Sky Camp is my favorite of the camps in Point Reyes. The views are so beautiful from all the sites, and for whatever reason it is always less busy. We had only two others in the whole campground! It's windy, and the bathroom's a bit farther, but the solitude makes for really lovely camping.
