The best safari tent rentals 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.

Wildhaven Sonoma is the top-rated glamping spot in the Bay Area. Our glamping experience was designed to provide guests with comfort, warmth, and cleanliness, while still maintaining a close connection to Sonoma County’s stunning natural beauty. Guests check in to extra-large, safari-style tents or cozy cabins, both with comfortable beds (with linens and heated mattress pads), electricity and heaters, WiFi, and all the furnishings needed for a memorable night outdoors. Outside, guests have a personal fire pit, a covered porch with patio furniture, and a large picnic table. Those seeking a tent with more comfort and features can book our Riverside tents with 2-person hammocks, festive string lights, and improved nature views, just a few steps from the Russian River. Then there are the amenities, which are not typically found at traditional campgrounds. These include a clean, central bathroom building, hot showers, an outdoor kitchen with dish-washing sinks and gas BBQs, a store with local treats, and summer activities such as yoga classes, wine tastings, and live music. The highlight of the 10-acre property is the private river access for guests. Wildhaven’s section of the Russian River is calm yet clean and perfect for innertubes from May-Oct. Wildhaven is surrounded by vineyards on 3 sides and is in the middle of the famous Alexander Valley wine-growing region. When it's time to venture out, Wildhaven is just 5 miles from the charming small town of Healdsburg, with its picture-perfect town plaza filled with palm and redwood trees and surrounded by 30+ tasting rooms, book and cooking stores, and ice cream shops. We hope you'll consider trying out a unique night of wine country glamping with us on the Russian River. We're dog friendly! There is a limit of 2 dogs per tent. Please be sure to add the dog fee in extras upon check out.

Weekend Trip to Wildhaven Sonoma Glamping

Wild Haven was a really nice set up. Lot's of creature comforts. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. Loved being able to have a campfire and make smores, loved laying in the hammock, loved the free coffee bar on Saturday morning. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were nice. The one down side to the place I'd say is having to hear traffic instead of just nature. Otherwise it was a really nice place for a quick get away.

The tent was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The person in the camp store was very friendly and helpful. Overall, wonderful experience despite the fact that it was cold and threatening rain the whole time we were there. Would definitely go back!
