Why it's hard to book

73 backcountry sites for the entire Bay Area.

Point Reyes National Seashore has just 73 reservable sites spread across four hike-in campgrounds (Coast, Sky, Glen, and Wildcat), plus Tomales Bay boat-in sites. There are zero walk-up nights and zero drive-in options: every single night requires a Recreation.gov reservation booked up to three months ahead.

With 7.7 million Bay Area residents living within roughly an hour's drive, demand is overwhelming. When a cancellation appears, it evaporates within minutes, often faster, before most people ever notice it existed.

Recreation.gov cancellations post in real time at any hour of the day or night. Dibs on Dirt monitors the full Point Reyes inventory continuously and emails you the moment a site matching your dates becomes available.
