Directions
There are multiple routes to get to the Glen Campground. The shortest route would be from the Bear Valley Trailhead, hiking 4.6 miles. Bicyclists may start at the Five Brooks Trailhead to ride 6.7 miles via the Stewart and Glen Trails to Glen Campground; this is the only route to Glen Campground that is open to bicycles—it is considered strenuous since it requires climbing up and over the 1,300-foot-tall Inverness Ridge. Campers must hike or bicycle to get to the campground; horses and autos are prohibited.
Weather Notes
The moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean creates a climate with no great extremes of heat or cold. Any season can bring interesting weather during your visit to Point Reyes National Seashore. Come prepared! You can check the National Weather Service forecast for the Glen Campground at http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-122.79&lat=37.99 .
Permit for a Regular site
Regular sites accommodate one to six (1 to 6) people. We do not allow groups of more than six people to split up into multiple regular sites within the same campground. Groups of more than six are restricted to group sites in Coast, Sky, or Wildcat Campground only, and, similarly, may not purchase more than one site per campground. Everyone associated with your party at a given campground must stay in the same, single campsite.
