I’ve been backpacking at Point Reyes for over a decade and it’s always a new experience when visiting. This is the first time I’ve gone backpacking with my two daughters and we had a blast! Although the conditions were a bit wet, Wildcat Camp was still amazing. We were fortunate to arrive at camp at the same time as three Tule Elk. Because of the rains, Alamere Falls and the pools above it were amazing and the trails were filled with all sorts of critters and mushrooms. Definitely a trip to remember with my girls. We can’t wait to visit again in the summer.

Some really nice updates to coast camp in the last year. New picnic tables, bear boxes, new horse hitches. I really enjoy camping here when I can get a spot.

From Bear Valley visitor center it's about a 6 mi hike into Wildcat camp. The hike is not too strenuous, however there is some up and downhill, and there is a long (~1m) and somewhat steep descent into the campground (that you will go up on your way out). The campground is simple and beautiful. Each site has a picnic table and food locker. There is a water spigot near the pit toilets. From the campground there is easy access to the beach, and ~1m walk to Alamere falls. Elk can be seen wandering in and near the campground, though they don't like to have their picture taken. Sunsets are amazing. Be prepared for cold and wet conditions in the evening. I've been to Wildcat camp twice (both times in Dec) - once was super windy and we saw a fox poop on our picnic table, the other time was wet from the marine layer, but somehow had a clear night, with spectacular stars and Milkyway viewing. There are a lot of little birds that will try to steal your snacks if you are not careful.

There are probably a few other sites in the upper campground that are a little more spacious, but this site was pretty good!

Great experience! We saw harbor seals, harbor porpoises, bobcats, river otters, Tule elk, surf scoters, common eiders, curlews, dowitchers, cormorants, widgeon, turkey vultures, and gulls. Upland birds like Townsend’s warbler and spotted towhee as well. The campground is in a great location for beach exploring and checking out the lakes.

The hike-to campgrounds at Point Reyes are always so well maintained. The trail was trimmed & solid, easy to follow, well marked. The campground @ Wild Cat had a very clean and shockingly good smelling bathroom, running water and each camp site had a picnic table and food locker. This is a lovely space for a "glamping" backpack experience. We camped with a heard of Elk, a bobcat, coyote, 6 fox and countless quail. The views were spectacular. What else can we ask for? <3

We loved this trip!

Wildcat was a little wetter and windier than we expected, but nothing insurmountable. Sites 006 and 007 are awesome because they both feature views of the ocean. 006 has an absolutely gorgeous view.

There was a herd of deer living at the camp on our trip. We didn't notice them since we came in right after sunset, but when we got up in the middle of the night, they were all over Wildcat. It was a fun sight! Just maintain a respectful distance and they seem fine. Closest we had to walk to one was like 10 ft.

For absolute beginners, I still recommend Glen, since it's a seemingly easier hike in, and wind and ocean spray are non-issues there. We got much more damp than we anticipated (though we should have seen it coming lol).

All of the toilets were in great shape, and we appreciated that they've added scented urinal things to keep it more pleasant. Winter temps meant no bugs either!

We saw very few people on trail, and only about half of the sites were actually occupied despite being "fully booked." If you overbook, remember to cancel! We would have loved to see more people there or at least openings for more days. Friends of ours couldn't make it because only Sunday night was available.
