The best private sites RV parks near Point Reyes Station, California

The old railway town of Point Reyes Station is more than just a cool stop north of San Francisco. It serves as the gateway to Point Reyes National Seashore—a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts in Northern California. Craggy ridges, foggy meadows, and sandy beaches all meet in this unique coastal landscape.

The park itself boasts a jaw-dropping 150 miles of hiking trails, 80 miles of shoreline, and several quiet bays for kayaking. You might even spot elephant seals sunning themselves in the spring and winter. Keep an eye out for herds of Tule elk near Tomales Point if you're camping in the fall.

Keep in mind there are no developed campgrounds in this national park. On the other hand, the secluded hike-in and boat-in camps deliver an unmatched wilderness experience. The hikes range from 1.8 to 6.3 miles, all starting from trailheads at the Bear Valley Visitor Center.

Sky Camp is nestled on the hillside of Mt. Whittenberg, featuring single and group sites. Meanwhile, Wildcat Camp (horses welcome) is just a short walk from photo-worthy Alamere Falls. If you want to camp in a Redwood Valley, Glen Camp is your go-to spot.

Looking to sleep near the ocean? Coast Camp is steps away from remote beaches and tide pools. Camping on Tomales Bay is boat-in only, and the rustic sites are strictly pack-in, pack-out. Pro tip: all camps require a reservation, and they're wildly popular. Secure your spot well in advance to beat the rush.

For a more laid-back camping experience, a number of private campgrounds near Point Reyes Station offer tent and RV camping. you can also check out the state parks in West Marin, including Samuel P. Taylor State Park.

Like other spots on the California coastline, Point Reyes has great camping weather year round. Bring a windbreaker for unexpected foggy spells, and pack sturdy hiking shoes for the rugged terrain. If you're beach camping, keep your eyes on the tide—you don't want your gear getting swept away.

Excellent Group Site! We only host one group at a time so you can be with your family and friends in a large, flat and private space. We listed the site for up to 12 campers but feel free to reach out if your group is bigger. Please check out the newest addition of our cabin bunkhouse. Take a look at the pictures - you can add it to your stay as an extra when you book! The land was originally purchased in the 1980's. Since then, it has been used by four generations of the family as a place to gather, relax, camp and even celebrate. I had my wedding on the property in 2010. For a few years we held an annual music festival with the very inventive name of Samapalooza. Up to 400 people would attend the day filled with live music, food and drinks. You will still find the stage and bar we built as an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Around 2008, my father and I planted our first olive trees. Many have been planted since which has gifted the land the timeless sense of purpose it deserves. My father dedicated his last years to tending the young trees and now I have taken the mantle to carry the farm forward. 'The Property', as it is known amongst family and friends has always been a place to camp. I have sat around the same fire ring for decades, rain or shine. I hope that fellow hipcampers can find the joy that my family and I have experienced here. This is a very private camp on a small olive farm. Geographically close to highways and the town of Novato, Sonoma and Napa wine country, this camp feels remote and secluded. Only one camp on the property to keep it private and special. You basically have your run of the land. We have just updated the land and made some nice improvements. Located on ten acres, you will drive past a small olive grove before reaching the spacious and open campground. Just up the hill from the camp is a private pond where you can fish, take out a small boat or just sit and watch the birds. It can be great swimming on hot summer days. This spot has been used by the family for decades and is now open to share with fellow nature lovers. Just a note: While the majority of the time you can expect complete privacy, this is a working olive farm. From time to time you may run into me (Sam) or someone else associated with the land. We will always do our best to respect your space.

Really cozy and private area but not too far from shopping and food. Plenty of space for multiple tents and lots of seating as well. The outdoor toilets were clean and didn't smell bad. The cabin was also very nice and included some board games. Sam was an excellent host and answered our questions quickly.

We came with a group and our dogs! It was nice to have the pond to paddleboard in. And the string lights and fire pit to enjoy night time activities. Sam was quick to communicate with us and the site was secluded enough but still close to town to grab supplies and eat out if you wanted to. Winter camping is chilly so come prepared! The amount of picnic tables were great and the port a potties were clean. If with furry friends make sure they’re on flea and tick, as with any outdoor adventure some hitchhikers are bound to jump on. We had no problems when on the gravel and wood chips, just keep an eye out if your dog likes to roam into brush (tall brush is always fair game for ticks most anywhere in the Bay Area) 😉

This place was perfect for our group, very private and large; we had plenty of room for our four tents to spread out. The photos and description are accurate. No surprises! This is an easy drive from SF, which makes this a place we will definitely come back to.

The olive camo was perfect! Sam was super nice and responsive. It is very private and had very well kept ports potties, convenient lights on solar, a great outdoor kitchen setup and a cute lake. We added the cottage and it was great! I would highly recommend this site for groups. We loved it.

We had a great stay on the olive farm! It felt so open and serene. So nice to have the whole area to ourselves! Having the sink area to wash dishes was nice. The ground was nice and soft too which made pitching our tent easier. We would definitely stay again.

Second time staying at Olive Farm Camp with a group of 8-10, mix of adults, kids, and dogs. We always rent the cabin. Love this site because it's close to SF/Oakland, private, and well-maintained. We will be back next year.

As soon as we exited onto Atherton, our dog stuck his head out the window and started sniffing non-stop. The Olive Farm is his favorite place, and he ran and ran and ran during our stay. It’s so much fun to watch him. Mother Nature made this visit more challenging than usual, but our tarp and tent pulled us through. Sam’s property is truly amazing, and we feel very lucky to be able to visit it.

The Olive Farm is a hidden gem! It's a perfect getaway destination for us as we are locals, so we don't have to drive too far for a nice, relaxing getaway. The flexibility of the camping area (lots of space to set up tables etc.) and cute little stage/ prep area is perfect for just two or small groups. Definitely would book again!

We love it, this is our second time booking and have made it our tradition to come at least once a year. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy time with your family and also your furry friends without having to worry about others. We love the privacy to enjoy nature in peace.

Weekend Trip to The Olive Farm

The Olive Farm was perfect for our needs. We had a large gathering that needed a lot of private space which is very hard to find in the Bay Area, so discovering this Hipcamp was finding a gem. Tons of parking, lots of space for tents, picnic benches, and even a small cabin for a lucky few. Not to mention it’s also really pretty being surrounded by the hills and oak trees with a very refreshing pond to dip into. The host was responsive with questions too.

I really enjoyed having the space to ourselves for my group of 6. Appreciate that the main area is mostly level and spacious for us to fit 3 cars and to spread out with our respective campsites. The camp tables was under a beautiful oak tree, providing ample shade. Not sure if this is a seasonal thing, but there were few wasps circling in the camp area, so just make sure to store / clean food appropriately.
