Marin County's most popular camping park sits in a lush redwood canyon along Lagunitas Creek, home to endangered coho salmon. The park offers a perfect blend of shaded forest trails and open grassland hikes, with the paved Cross Marin Trail popular for family biking. Second-growth redwoods tower over fern-carpeted canyon floors, while hillside trails climb to panoramic views of Tomales Bay. The park provides easy access to Point Reyes National Seashore and makes an excellent base for exploring West Marin.
