Made for a great first backpacking trip. Saw lots of whales. Skunks lurk in the evening, so beware. Deer and rabbits, too. Two water faucets. Nice privacy in the two rows of sites up from the beach. Nice beach access, too, and hiking down the coast trail is fun. Would definitely return

My son and I camped at campsite 7 on a late August Thursday night. The reservation was made about two weeks prior. The day was a rare clear day on the coast. We parked at the Laguna Trailhead and backpacked the 1.9 miles to Coast Camp. The first .5 miles is uphill and then the trail flattens out for a while. The last .75 mile is downhill to camp. It was a moderate hike. I did not take hiking poles but I will next time because of pack. We found our campsite easily and the access to the beach. On this clear day the beach was a big draw. We ate all our meals at the beach. The low tide was at 9:30pm so we spent much of the evening checking out the tide pools at the rocks. There was so much animal life. There was not much drift wood so we were not able to have a fire on the beach. The potable water was very drinkable and I will not bother packing water for our next trip. We had a spectacular time and will be back soon.
I have AT&T and had cell service at the beach and campsite

Point Reyes Crater was amazing!
We made it on our first try. I tracked the tidal charts for weeks before planning this trip. This was our first time making it to this side of Point Reyes National Seashore and it did not disappoint.
To make the trip to the Crater convenient, we camped out at the Coast Campsite which is literally just a little over a mile from the Crater. To make it without getting wet as much as possible you need to go at the lowest tide. For us on this day it was 6:30 am at -.02. Once you’re there you get 20-30 minutes to explore before the tide starts coming back in. Water shoes will make a big difference.
On the way in you’ll pass a refreshing waterfall and Sculptured Beach which is stunning. Again, the only way to get into Sculptured Beach is at low tide or swim. There are lots of sea caves to explore and sea delicacies you can harvest from the rocks; muscles, scallops, etc. If you like crab I recommend bringing a few traps while you explore the area. There are crabs everywhere. Make sure to pay attention to the California Fish and Game website for harvesting restrictions. Especially for shell fish.
There was lots of wildlife in the area. Mostly deer and quail. No whales on this trip but we were able to see them on our first two trips out here. There was a skunk that kept trying to bully us in camp at night but it just walked around like it owned the place then went on its way.
The Coast Campground and trail are definitely for backpackers. DO NOT bring a bunch of gear! I made that mistake by bringing a couple of carts worth of stuff and added a layer of complexity to our trip. Fully loaded wagons/carts will not make it down these rocky trails. There are lots of steep elevation changes.
We parked at the Laguna Trail Head. The trail is .8 miles then connects to the Fireline trail which is another 1.2 mile hike to the Coast Campground. Because of our wagons we were told to go the other way around because the Laguna Trail would’ve eaten up our carts. And they were right. We had to take the other way around which starts right in front of the Point Reyes Hostel. Then from there it’s a 4.5 mile hike to the Coast Campground.

Good first backpacking experience. If taking the Laguna/Fire trail route, 1.8 miles, beware that it is currently covered in tall grass so take precautions for ticks. Or go the longer route on Coast Trail.
Site 6 was not close to the bathroom or potable water. About a 5mn walk.
Did not end up staying overnight due to the 19mph wind, but it was a really fun day hike with gorgeous views!

Perfect beginner’s backpacking trip for families. Three flat miles in via Coast Trail and two miles out via Fire Lane/Laguna trails. Beautiful beach, potable water from two faucets, relatively clean pit toilets. I would recommend groups and campers with kids stay in sites 8-14. While they are less private, they are flat, close the water/bathrooms, and mostly on grass instead of dirt (which gets everywhere with kids).
