Coast Camp Information

The National Park Service shares the following...

Coast Camp is nestled within a small coastal grassy valley with easy access to the beach and tidepools.

The beach is within 200 meters (200 yards) of the campground.

The shortest approach to Coast Camp is via the 2.9 km (1.8 miles) slightly uphill hike on the Laguna and Firelane Trails, starting at the Laguna Trailhead just past the hostel.

Following the Coast Trail from the Coast Trailhead before the hostel offers an easy, flat 4.3 km (2.7 miles) route and is open to bicycles.

Twelve individual sites and two group sites. Sites 1-7 are in a small semiprotected canyon.
