Point Reyes offers a plethora of landscapes to explore. There are miles of sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Sleep next to the ocean with a camping permit for Marshall Beach and Tomales Beach. Hike-in or kayak-in to get a prime spot for backcountry camping in the surrounding hills.
Be wary of the tides. Some beaches only allow camping during low tide. Otherwise, your tent might get washed away.
If you love history, a visit to Point Reyes Lighthouse is a must. You can't miss the red roof of the iconic lighthouse and the keeper's residence. The lighthouse has been there since 1870 before automation put it out of service in 1975. Foggy nights merely add to the ambiance and mystique of this gorgeous coastal area.
Once your water-based adventure is done, head inland to sample some of California's

Once your water-based adventure is done, head inland to sample some of California's best wines. Several nearby vineyards offer tastings and tours almost any time of year.
Coast Camp is…. well it’s by the coast (this is a good thing). The camp is nestled in a wide open grassy valley and is a very short distance (about two football fields) to a quality stretch of beach. Sites #1-7 are best and offer the most privacy. This is a popular campground, but due to a solid design, it still feels secluded. Each site has a cha Read more...
Glen Camp might not be the most popular kid in class, but it is the most protected. Most campgrounds in Point Reyes get lots of wind since they are close to the coast, but not Glen Camp (which also explains why you can actually make an easy booking here)! The campground is tucked away in a wooded valley and it is nice and secluded. Half the sites Read more...
1,025 feet up Mt. Wittenberg lies Sky Camp. It's true to its name and offers spectacular panoramic views. You'll have to earn them with a “moderate" uphill hike from the Sky Trailhead.
On a clear day you can see Point Reyes, Drakes Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. At Sky Camp, you are a ways away from the beach, but the views make up for it. If you a Read more...
Ever wanted to kayak into a remote campground? Here is your chance! Tomales Bay is…well its awesome. If you're wanting to camp here, you must reach the campsites by boat (which really does add to the magic of the experience).
If you need a boat, no problem! Check in with our good friends at Blue Water Kayak in Marshall; they'll get you all set u Read more...
It sure is nice to be so dang close to the ocean! Wildcat Camp is in an open meadow that is just a hop, skip and jump away from the mighty Pacific Ocean. Another great thing about Wildcat is that it’s also the closest camp to Alamere Falls (one of only two waterfalls that fall directly into the Pacific).
The hike is an easy 2-miler along the bea Read more...
