To learn more about campgrounds in the park, call the Marin Headlands Visitor Center at (415) 331-1540 or visit our Camping Page.

 

The youth hostels at Fort Mason and Fort Berry offer affordable accommodations in spectacular locations in the park. For information and reservations, visit the Hostelling International website.
