Point Reyes National Seashore Campground

About

Point Reyes National Seashore provides a unique backcountry camping experience on a rugged coastal peninsula about 50 miles north of San Francisco. The park operates four hike-in/bike-in campgrounds: Coast Camp (12 standard sites plus 2 group sites), Sky Camp (11 standard sites plus 1 group site), Glen Camp (12 standard sites), and Wildcat Camp (5 standard sites plus 3 group sites). Additionally, thirteen boat-in campsites are available along the west shore of Tomales Bay. Hike-in campgrounds offer vault toilets, potable water faucets, picnic tables, and food storage lockers. Campfires are strictly prohibited; only gas stoves may be used for cooking. The boat-in sites are more primitive, with vault toilets available only at Marshall and Tomales beaches, no potable water, and campers must bring portable toilets and bear-resistant food containers. Camping is available year-round and requires advance reservations through Recreation.gov. Standard sites accommodate up to 6 people at $30/night, while group sites for 7-25 people cost $90/night. Camping is limited to four nights per visit and 30 nights annually. Pets are prohibited in all campgrounds and on Tomales Bay beaches. There is no car or RV camping anywhere in the park.
