ROUTE INFORMATION:

Wildcat Campground is located in an open meadow on a bluff overlooking the ocean, with a short walk to the beach. One may access Wildcat Campground by foot, bicycle, or horse; not by boat, auto, or RV. It is a 6.3-mile hike from Bear Valley Trailhead or a 5.5-mile hike from the Palomarin Trailhead.
We’re taking the 5.5 mile hike. Expect a Google Map Link of the Route soon.

BACKPACKING RECOMMENDATIONS:

Additionally, here is my Amazon Gear List of a few things that include car camping that I have, in case you are interested. Yes, I earn a commission off these products, but I made sure to only select items I have used, aside from the new Soda Stream (Terra). I have the regular one. https://a.co/dLkywHJ
