Grass underfoot, sheep roaming a back section of the property, and sites with no physical barriers between them: Olema Campground has a distinctly open, communal layout that sets it apart from more wooded California campgrounds. The grounds are flat and largely grassy, which matters in wet weather. Reviewers consistently flag moisture as a real consideration here, since neighboring bodies of water push dampness up through the grass. Winter and spring visits can mean muddy gravel back-ins and pooling water, though staff have been noted for proactive communication and operational adjustments during storms.
The campground divides into distinct zones. RV sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, accommodate rigs up to 50 feet on back-in pads. Tent campers have a separate meadow area that tends to be less crowded than the RV sections. Tracey S. notes the sites along the back of the campground have the most space between them, making those worth requesting. Shade is uneven: some sites sit under trees, while the tent meadow gets limited canopy cover. Amenities include hot showers with solid water pressure, a small camp store, firewood sales, laundry facilities, a post office, and WiFi.
Location drives much of the campground's appeal. Point Reyes National Seashore sits close by, with Coast Camp and the Point Reyes National Seashore Campground among the backcountry alternatives in the area. Limantour Beach is roughly a 20-minute drive. The roads in are winding and hilly. That is not the campground's doing, but it is worth knowing before towing a large rig.
Weeknights tend to run quieter, with Friday and Saturday bringing more activity. Reservations are available and recommended, particularly for hook-up sites. Pets are allowed. For those planning a multi-day stay to explore camping near Olema and the surrounding coast, Olema Campground gives solid infrastructure and direct access to one of California's most visited national seashores.
