Point Reyes National Seashore Glen Camp Campground California

Point Reyes National Seashore Glen Camp Overview

Point Reyes National Seashore Glen Camp 010

Glen Camp has 12 primitive tent-only (walk-in) campsites and 3 group sites in a wooded valley protected from ocean breezes. The hike to the campground is through a dense forest. The easiest approach is 4.5 miles via Bear Valley Trail (Five Brooks Trailhead) and Glen Trail. To access Glen Camp by bicycle, start at the Five Brooks Trailhead, follow the Stewart Trail to the Glen Trail, then north to the Glen Camp Loop, and finish by descending to Glen Camp. This is a strenuous 10 km (6 mile) bike ride.

Our favorite Glen Camp campsites are 2, 5 and 6. Amenities include drinking water and a vault toilet. Each site also has a table, food storage locker, fire ring and BBQ pedestal.

All four back-country campgrounds can only be accessed by hiking, riding bikes or a horse. There is also a boat-in campground available on the westside of Tomales Bay.

Point Reyes National Seashore is located about an hour’s drive north from the San Francisco Bay area. The Seashore offers spectacular hiking and biking trails through dense forests and grasslands and along expansive sand beaches and coastline. There are also scenic drives to vistas with beautiful views of the rugged northern California coast. The Seashore has a visitor center, several historic sites – including the Point Reyes Lighthouse. There is also 150 miles of hiking/biking trails, several beaches, and amazing wildlife viewing.

The three other back-country campgrounds at Point Reyes National Seashore are: Sky Camp, Wildcat Camp, and Coast Camp.  Point Reyes National Seashore Glen Camp
