Wildcat Camp has 7 primitive tent-only (walk-in) campsites and 3 group sites. The campground is located in an open flat meadow on a bluff overlooking the ocean. The short walk to the large sandy beach offers spectacular views of the coastline. Wildcat Lake is also a short walk from the campground. Parking for day and back-country use is at the Bear Valley Visitor center.  Exit Bear Valley Road (west) from Highway 1.

Amenities include potable/drinking water and vault toilets. Each site also has a table, food storage cabinet, fire ring and BBQ pedestal. Our favorite Wildcat campsites are 5, 6 and 7.

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 are 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, Glen Camp, and Coast Camp.
