Well taken care of, the campsite had a picnic table and and food locker. Plenty of space for a one-person and a four-person tents. We hiked the trail from Palomarin and stopped at Bass lake. Swam across the lake. The water was significantly warmer than the ocean, comfortable enough to stay for a while (this was end of May). We were planning to bike to the campground but ended up hiking. We didn't know if there were any structures to lock our bikes to besides the horses poles that a ranger had suggested. However, near the toilets we found two structures ("arches") that seem designed to lock bikes to.

Coast Campground site #1 is well-protected from the wind, which was nice. Water and bathroom isn't too far of a walk, and beach access is great. The site is small, and is advertised as fitting 6 people. There were 6 in our party and it was very tight fitting 3 backpacking tents. It really should be advertised as fitting 4 people.

Very lovely trail with beautiful coastal and woodland views. The best part of the trip was when a herd of elk came to graze in the meadow by the campground at dusk. Lucked out on the weather and the side trip to Alamere Falls is well worth it.

Campgrounds were clean and amazing! Unfortunately almost all of the trails were in pretty rough shape… completely overgrown along with tons of poison oak and stinging nettle hanging into the trails so cover up!

Really nice hike in to the campsite. Lovely spot to camp, except for one thing...Site #1 is too close to the bathroom. Worst smelling bathroom ever. Like Guinness book of world records worst smell ever.

Such a lovely location, I’ve backpacked here for years. The visitors center and staff are so friendly and helpful. Sad to see that common courtesy in the campsites is less common now. We stayed at Glen camp with a small (extremely polite) scout troop and a group of mountain bikers (who had booked several sites) stayed up shouting and talking loudly until midnight. They also peed all over the bathroom to the point I had to throw bowls of soapy water to rinse things down so that my girls could even use the toilet. Another group was playing music on a portable radio during the day. I do not understand the lack of consideration for others who presumably picked this location for its natural beauty and peaceful setting.
