Olema Campground in Olema, CA | Point Reyes RV Park

We camp for ours first time here for one night with my hiking group, we had a very upset situation, we left our stove grill on the table and went for a hiking, when we get back someone took our grill just the grill. When I went to the office the owner said we should use our common sense not leaving things out, she was very rude, never come back here.

I liked this place until it's 5 o'clock and they don't let you listen to music and I rented 6 spaces and it's not the first time we came, it wasn't strong, I don't like it anymore 😕

We had a wonderful group camping trip at Olema Campground! Our scout group booked campsites 1–15 and had plenty of space for everyone — the area is open, clean, and perfect for kids to run around and play. The campground is well maintained with flushed toilets and free hot showers, which made the stay very comfortable.

The air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and it’s an ideal spot for families or large groups who want to enjoy nature without giving up basic comforts. We loved how peaceful and spacious it felt. Highly recommend this campground for your next group camping adventure! 🌲🏕️

I love it here! Came here in August and it was perfect weather, I went to the beach and had so much fun! There’s RV hook ups, children’s playground and a little gift shop! My new favorite camping spot! Will be coming back!!!!

My daughter was part of a larger group of 4th graders and their parents who recently went to Olema Campground over the weekend (two nights, two days).

Overall, she had a great time, but that isn't the focus of this review.

One of the boys in the group, a child of color, was targeted by the campsite manager, falsely accusing him of throwing rocks at cars and people. Her behavior was wildly inappropriate: yelling, very confrontational, and racist. Other parents witnessed this and managed to deescalate the situation, but this doesn't change the fact that it happened.

My daughter, her mom, and I are all people of color, and we will not support any business that employs people who are comfortable behaving like this manager did.

Is the campsite nice and pleasant? Yes, but the manager was the polar opposite, and for that reason, we are never coming back here again.

We weren’t sure what to expect with this campground, but we were warmly greeted by a gentleman in the office, which set the stage for our overnight stay. It had been raining, so there were some puddles around and there weren’t very many other campers there. The campground is grassy with a few tall trees dotted around, with gravel pads. It is well laid out with a series of cul de sacs with 8-12 campsites in each one. The bathroom and shower in our area was older, but clean and well maintained.
My husband wandered around and saw sheep grazing in the large area set aside for tents - including twin lambs just born the day before, which was quite a treat.
In all, Olema campground was a great place to stop overnight on our coastal vacation.

Not very far from San Francisco, good amenities (hot water, good toilets, shower, water taps everywhere, WiFi). There's a big meadow great for groups, with a road around it that kids can bike on. Very wet at night but dries up with the sun in the morning.
We didn't do much exploring in the area, but it's definitely not wilderness camping.

Been coming here for many years. Big problems here are DUST, poor maintenance and terrible internet.  UNBELIEVABLE DUST from powder dirt roads and inconsiderate campers speeding around roiling up huge clouds of dust. Hey- where are the speed signs?  Why not oil these dusty roads? You’ve been in business since 1969, for heaven’s sake!!!   MAINTENANCE is poor. There is a kid’s play area and all the little ones make a bee-line for it!  It has one of those wooden play structures with a climbing wall, slide, etc. This thing is all broken, rotten and literally collapsing!  VERY DANGEROUS!  Yet, no repairs, ever. Personal Injury attorneys should see this- it’s a major lawsuit just waiting to happen….some poor child will suffer.  INTERNET: There is park WIFI…but it is useless- almost zero bandwidth. 5G is nil.
You will be out of touch here during your stay.   This place is NOT cheap!  It should be better. It looks like the original operators set it up real nice, but the current owners just milk it for all they can without fixing anything. We only stay here due to the location and may cease doing so going forward….

The campground is in a good location. The site we were assigned to was very narrow and we were too close to our neighbors. Both the bathrooms and the laundry room need some attention, especially the restrooms, which have bird nests inside. There's a note on the bathroom door asking people not to close the door for that reason. Doors should be closed, and no birds/animals should be allowed inside restrooms. Most of the time you find bird droppings inside the restrooms which is totally unhealthy.

This is a great location and with spacious campground so close to Pt Reyes National Park. Great well marked hikes through lush dense forested areas just a short distance away. Older campground but repairs and work in progress all the time. Staff is great. Heavy rains have caused flooding in the past but they are on it. Still a great place to camp. Weve been going there for 30 years!

I liked it, had blackberries all around the place, the only main problem for me was the bathroom🚻 it had many spiders and I really don't like spiders, they creep me out, other then that, great place! I saw a mama  bird and her baby's! Very cute! I really wanted to hold one

They could make it really nice, but they are reactive and not proactive to the care of the place. Road's and spots for your rv are a muddy mess!

Loved the campgrounds,  very pretty and friendly.  Excellent spaces.

No flush toilets, only porta potties. If they had flush toilets, it would have been fine as an RV camping site.
