One night at Sky Camp

For someone who almost never has a chance to hike and stupidly overpacked for a one night stay, the ~2 mile trail to get to Sky Camp was pretty nice! The trailhead is impossible to miss from the camp’s parking lot that’s immediately off Limantour Road, which was almost empty on the Thursday I arrived on. The trail begins with a steady incline before mostly leveling out after half a mile or so, then ends right at the campground. Vault toilets and trash disposal are on the left, and a map of the campground is on the right so you can easily locate the site at which you’re staying. I personally wouldn’t reserve sites 1 or 2 due to odors that drift over from the toilets. I stayed at site #12 and felt that it and #11 were the best ones there because they are surrounded by lush vegetation and have trees that provide shade and protection against the wind. It also had a good view of the gorgeous coastline! Everyone there was quiet, friendly, and respectful, which made for the most peaceful campground experience I’ve ever had. The only sounds I heard as I fell asleep were distant, crashing waves and calm winds rushing through the trees. I really want to revisit Sky Camp, but only if I can reserve a site under the trees since everywhere else was open with just some shrubs around the perimeter.
