Coast Camp: Better than a hotel pool

This is Santa Maria Beach, the beach that is right next to the Coast Campground. It's a wonderful beach - uncrowded, wide, with perfect sand. You can walk for miles in either direction. The Coast Campground is on the other side of the bluff you see on the left in this picture.

Sky Camp: Or sleep on an upper floor

If you prefer a campsite away from the sometimes severe conditions of the Northern California coast, a good option for you is the Sky Campground. This campground is located on the western flank of Mount Wittenberg at an elevation of just over 1000 feet. On a good day, you'll be rewarded with spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and local beaches. This is also a walk-in campground. The trail to the campground is a little less than a mile and slightly uphill.

You must make a reservation. Campsites may be reserved up to three months (to the day) in advance. Call (415) 663-8054 between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Unique Quality: 12 campsites, and one group campside. Several campsites are nestled in trees. Some have gorgeous views. For the best view, try to get campsite No. 10 or No. 11, although they are less protected than other campsites. Each campsite is large and private. An absolutely gorgeous campground.

Coast Campground: Soothing surf

If being next to the pounding surf is your idea of a great place to spend the night, you'll definitely want to stay at the Coast Campground. This is a walk-in campground, but you won't need to backpack all the way from the Sky Trail trailhead. See directions below for easier access.

Unique Quality: The campground is secluded, tent only, walk-in with pit toilets and potable water. The trail to the campground is an easy, flat mile and half walk. Camping is by permit only and permits must be obtained from the Bear Valley Visitor Center before starting your trip. You must have made a reservation in advance to camp within Point Reyes National Seashore. No first come, first serve. No campground attendant.

Campsites may be reserved up to three months (to the day) in advance. To obtain a reservation, call (415) 663-8054 between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday. You may also make reservations in person 7 days a week at the Bear Valley Visitor Center.

Coast Camp: Camp spot

Here's the cozy little camp spot that Yubert and I shared. Oh, did I mention that Yubert and I had a little mini-VT meeting, back packing in Pt. Reyes? Excellent! Hoping we can have a bigger event like this sometime. Anyone interested, please do let us know!!

Coast Camp: Camping is the way to go!

Coast Camp is a relatively easy hike from the Point Reyes Hostel parking lot. By the Laguna Trail, it's 1.8 miles. By the Coast Trail, it's 3.1 miles, more or less.

The camp sites behind some cliffs, thus blocked from much of the coastal winds. A gentle upslope provides plenty of flat spots for tents, and each camp site has a picnic table with benches, a charcoal grill (no wood burning allowed) and a food box for food and other smelly items that might attract scavengers.

The site also has:
* water spigots for drinking and washing.
* Bathrooms (no electricity - bring a flashlight or headlamp)
* Dumpsters, including recycling for bottles and cans!

The Inverness Valley Inn: POINT REYES JEWEL

Cabins have very comfortable beds, a kitchenette with microwave, a fireplace and even a barbecue. Outside is a swimming pool, a hot tub and two tennis courts.

Ask about staying three days and getting the fourth night free. Stay to visit fishing villages and small towns on the coast. Several great restaurants are located nearby.

Unique Quality: Prices are $115 a night, plus tax, Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights are $130.
