Have been to Wildcat campground probably a dozen times. Never tire of it.
Hiked in from Bear Valley. Highly suggest taking Bv > Glen > Stewart.
**Avoid Coast trail which is significantly overgrown with poison oak 😬 **

We backpacked in from the Five Brooks Tailhead. The hike was moderate. We stayed at Wildcat campsite 4. It was nice and perfect for the 3 of us. Potable water is available and plenty of toilets paper in the bathrooms at all time. If you plan to have a fire on the beach, don’t forget to print out your fire permit.

Clean vault toilet, potable water, bear box - recommend long pants to get to your site in the spring, as everything is green/growing so the path (at least for site 12) will be overgrown!

Campsite #5 at Glen was incredible. Glen is such a sweet location and the bird’s singing was magnificent in the morning.

Staying at Glen campground was great. Site 4 had a bit of a hard tent area, almost like concrete, but the sites were well distributed and it was nice being close to the bathroom but not too close. All the amenities are great - Bear Box, trash, picnic table, toilets, and water.

I camped in sites 006 and 007. Both were very private and quiet. The bathrooms were about an 6 min walk. Bear lockers were new and worked well. Evenings and mornings were quite cold with the damp air, I brought many layers including a puffer and fleece and was glad to have them.

Love this place! It would be helpful to run a mower or hand cut the paths at Wildcat Camp. There is a nice wide path cut that goes to the bluff, bit the others are overgrown and everyone walks through campsite #3 (which can be awkward walking directly through someone's campsite) to get to the bluff. Thank you!!!

Point Reyes is probably one of my favorite places to go. Beautiful hiking trails and places to stop. The campgrounds are really nice with potable water and restrooms.
About 7:30 when everyone was awake packing up and making breakfast. One of the rangers came flying down the hill to clean the bathrooms and take out the trash. She wouldn't let one of the the campers use one of the restrooms until she was finished. Just a little weird having a nice quiet morning interrupted in such a way. With everyone staring at the poor lady dancing while waiting for the ranger to be done.

The facilities at Glen CG (water, toilets) were fine. However, many of the trails, including the major Coastal Trail from Palomarin to Wildcat, are getting very overgrown with brush, poison oak, stinging nettles, and some invasive plants. Even some of the campsites at Glen Camp are starting to get overgrown. Some serious cleaning of the brush is needed.
