Lovely hike-in to the campground. If you don’t want a strenuous hike in, park at Limantour and take Sky trail. If you’re up for a longer hike, park in Bear Valley and take Mt Wittenberg-Sky trail. We especially enjoyed early morning hikes on Sky trail when it was foggy. Don’t expect the scenic views in spring/summer (we were lucky enough to have 1/3 nights clear). But it is still gorgeous in its own way with the fog. Sites themselves are on the smaller side, but nice and clean. Great, new picnic tables!

Wildcat, Coast and Sky camps in that order were great. Trails were well marked. High chaparral in sunny areas but trail always visible. A gang of Elk stood guard all night at Wildcat. Riders and backpackers all very friendly.
Vault toilets clean and supplied. Designated camp sites were clean and well marked. Trails, terrain and views were fantastic. Got something different on each hike- overall a great backpacking loop.

This was my inaugural backpack trip after a nearly 3 decade hiatus. The Stewart trail from Five Brooks trailhead to Wildcat campground was pretty, but it was a dirt road and the Greenpicker trail I took back after a detour to Glen campground was prettier though overgrown with vegetation. The camping facilities at Wildcat wee great with privacy, potable water, nearby beach and pit toilets. I also loved my extra day hikes to Alamere Falls along the beach and then to the upper falls via the Ocean Lake Loop. The hiking in and out would have been more enjoyable if I left earlier both days so it wouldn’t have been so hot.

12 campsites, all nice except #10. Other campers need to walk-thru site #10 to get to bathroom, water, garbage, ingress/egress.

Great campsite at Wildcat. Some trails in serious need of trail maintenance due to overgrowth. I know they have been dealing with alot of havoc from the Woodward fire and then the heavy rains last year felling many trees. I am very sensitive to poison oak and the trails are really overgrown to the point you can’t avoid touching it. I feel bad for any kids hiking through it. I came prepared with alcohol wipes and used them to wipe down any exposed areas and my hiking poles.

Beautiful park, and great scenery. There was a variety of trails, but almost all the internal ones were overgrown pretty badly. Coastal trail is in better condition. Sky camp was gorgeous watching the clouds cover the treetops below you. Def coming again
