Kirby Cove Campground

Kirby Cove Campground offers five tent-only campsites and a day-use picnic area with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay, located in the Marin Headlands just north of the bridge.

Access requires a steep, mile-long walk from the parking area to the cove, with no potable water available—campers must bring their own water.

Reservations are required and limited to 3 nights per season; the campground typically operates spring through fall and fills quickly, so advance booking is essential.
