Coast Camp

Coast Camp is on the scenic, remote Point Reyes coastline. The entire camp is in open coastal scrub with no shade.

Getting to the camp

---

Most people walk in from the Laguna tralhead, from which it's a slightly hilly two-mile walk on the Laguna and Fire Lane Trails or a flat three-mile walk on the Coast Trail.

It's also possible to start from the Limantour trailhead and walk a mile and a half along the beach to the camp, optionally cutting over to the Coast Trail after the first half-mile. This route is much more scenic, but it’s not an official trail and could potentially be cut off at high tide.

Each site has a picnic table and food locker. Although this area didn’t burn in the 2020 Woodward Fire, after the fire the charcoal grills were removed, the wooden picnic tables were replaced with new cement picnic tables, and the food lockers were replaced with much larger lockers.

Wood fires are not allowed in the campsites, but you can get a free permit for a beach fire; however, the beach has been picked clean of driftwood. The food lockers keep the aggressive raccoons out, but mice often manage to get in. There's a vault toilet and potable water.

Sites

Sites 1–7 are on a scrub-covered hillside. They’re the most popular sites, since they're well-separated and the dense scrub provides good privacy. They're all pretty similar, except the lower-numbered sites have partial ocean views: the lower the site number, the better the view. On the other hand, sites 6 and especially 7 have the most privacy.
