Easy permitting and clear instructions. I don’t know how, but they need to figure out a better way to ensure permit holders actually use them. We booked the only remaining site at Sky and Coast camps but both had multiple open sites. We were hoping to spend a night or two at wildcat but it was sold out. I’m guessing there were no shows there as well.
THANK YOU!!!

My son and I camped at campsite 7 on a late August Thursday night. The reservation was made about two weeks prior. The day was a rare clear day on the coast. We parked at the Laguna Trailhead and backpacked the 1.9 mi to Coast Camp. The first .5 mi is uphill and then the trail flattens out for a while. The last .75 mi is downhill to camp. It was a moderate hike. I did not take hiking poles but I will next time because of pack. We found our campsite easily and the access to the beach. On this clear day the beach was a big draw. We ate all our meals at the beach. The low tide was at 9:30pm so we spent much of the evening checking out the tide pools at the rocks. There was so much animal life. There was not much drift wood so we were not able to have a fire on the beach. The potable water was very drinkable and I will not bother packing water for our next trip. We had a spectacular time and will be back soon.

I have AT&T and had cell service at the beach and campsite

Stayed at coast one night and glen the other. The camps were nice. As soon as I got home I started planning another trip with my family.

OK, the only reason i didn't give higher stars is at the intersection of going to Alamere Falls or continuing to Wildcat and beyond, has a rock arrow....should have signage there. We took that detour with 30 lb packs and then had to circle back. ALL IN ALL, amazing site and the beach was spectacular.

Horse trail from BV visitor center to Coast camp is FULL of poison oak and very narrow so no way to avoid contact.
The trails and campsites were pristine, other campers quiet and polite.
What a blessing to have this beautiful chunk of nature.

The hike to Wildcat beach is definitely a journey to enjoy and experience, and arriving at Wildcat Beach is the ultimate reward. Ensure you bring sufficient water for your hike. Wildcat campground and beach are pristine and hope that everyone who enjoys Wildcat Beach and Campground keep it that way.

The hike in trails were well manicured. So less worry about poison oak and ticks. I love that the site is so close to the beach! Most campsites are surrounded by brush that gives more privacy.
