Campground details
Setting
Point Reyes National Seashore features four backcountry campgrounds—Coast, Glen, Sky, and Wildcat—along with 20 boat-in campsites on Tomales Bay. The landscape spans coastal scrub, Douglas fir forests, and ocean beaches. Hike-in and bike-in sites include picnic tables, food storage lockers, vault toilets, and drinking water; Coast and Wildcat offer direct beach access. The primitive boat-in sites on Tomales Bay coves lack facilities, requiring campers to pack in water and portable toilets. No car or RV camping is permitted anywhere in the park.
Getting there: Point Reyes is located approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco and can be approached either northbound or southbound via Highway 101 and Exit 450A/B Sir Francis Drake Highway. Visitors can also reach the park via the longer and winding scenic Highway 1 or the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road. Public transportation to the Bear Valley Visitor Center from San Rafael along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard is available through the West Marin Stagecoach .
