This campground was nestled in an opening surrounded by trees but little to no shade when the sun passes overhead. We stayed at site 9, it was pretty tight but perfect for two- 2 person tents and very flat and level. Bathroom and water supply were sufficient. Overall it was a great stay, would recommend!

Point Reyes National Seashore is absolutely beautiful! I did an one-night backpacking trip starting at Palomarin Trailhead. I did a loop following the Lake Ranch Trail, stayed at Glen Camp, and then followed the Coast Trail back. The highlight of the trip was the coastal views, especially at Wildcat Camp and the Ocean Lake overlook. The weather was great for November, just be prepared for wet vegetation and mud in the rainforest section. This stretch is a little overgrown. There's lots of wildlife in the park--banana slugs and newts abound so watch your step. Next time I visit I'll stay at Wildcat Camp and explore more of the coast. I wanted to hike to Alamere Falls, but the tide was rising when I reached the beach. All in all a must-visit in NorCal!

This was fall camping at Point Reyes National Seashore, and the slower season made the whole experience wonderfully peaceful. The ocean air, long quiet stretches of shoreline, and time spent unplugged felt genuinely restorative. The campsites themselves were spacious and well spread out, although that wasn't a factor for me as there were only a few other overnighters. My only disappointment was the condition of some of the trails, badly eroded in places, which seems like a clear result of ongoing underfunding of the National Parks system in our current political climate. Even so, the beauty and calm of Point Reyes made the trip more than worthwhile.

For $40 they don’t even provide a smooth level pad to pitch your tent on.
Surely that’s the most basic thing one would expect - a level piece of ground!
Also, the booking system is dysfunctional. You have to book months in advance and once you arrive a quarter to 1/3 of the sites are empty with no-shows. There must be a better way to make sure that all sites are available!

Beautiful camping spot on the ridge with views out to the beaches of Pt. Reyes. Campsites are well located with some visibility one to the other but spots of privacy as well. Exposed to wind. Great spot to launch longer hikes from.
