Haypress Campground

Haypress Campground offers a unique, primitive escape nestled within the coastal scrub of the Tennessee Valley. Located in the Marin Headlands, this site provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, far removed from the noise of modern life. The surrounding landscape is defined by its rugged beauty, featuring coastal vegetation and nearby trails that lead directly to the dramatic geology and colorful sands of Tennessee Cove.

Because this is a primitive site, visitors should come prepared for a remote experience. The campground is accessible only by a one-mile hike from the Tennessee Valley Trailhead, meaning it is strictly for tent camping and not suitable for RVs or vehicle-based camping. Basic amenities are limited to vault toilets and picnic tables, ensuring a minimalist stay that highlights the natural surroundings.

This campground is best suited for hikers, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a walk-in experience. It is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude or a basecamp for exploring the extensive trail network that spans the Marin Headlands. Please note that this is a year-round federal site managed by the USFS.
