Marin Headlands Hawk Camp Trailhead

Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Marin County, California

About this place

This Marin Headlands access follows the NPS Hawk Camp Trail to the park's three-site ridge-top hike-in campground above Gerbode Valley.

Hawk is reached only on foot; carry water because the campground has no potable supply, and use only the reserved site and the park's current stove rules.
