Overnight Kayaking and Camping

Sleep under the stars ... enjoy the tranquility of Tomales Bay!

Imagine camping on a beautiful beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore - one that can only be reached by water. Tomales Bay has a number of these remote beaches where camping is permitted and which are located within a short paddle from Blue Waters.

We offer a variety of services to help make your kayak camping adventure a success such as guide services, catered camping trips, motorboat support (where we motor your gear to your campsite), and also a do-it-yourself overnight or weekend rental. Our kayaks have storage for your camping gear, sleeping bag, clothes and food.

OUR MOTORBOAT SUPPORT POLICY: Motorboat support is available to transport camping gear, equipment, and food from our MARSHALL site to your campsite at Marshall Beach or Tomales Beach and back. The fee for this round-trip service is $25 per person to our rental customers, $35 each to non-rental customers, with a $150 minimum. If you want to go to a beach further away than Marshall or Tomales Beaches, then we will negotiate a separate price.

NOTE: One motorboat load usually accomodates 6 campers. One loead in volume is approximately 4'w x6.5'l x2.5'h, 65 cu ft, (about a small pickup truck load), and is up to 600 lbs. in weight. BWK reserves the right to charge extra for loads exceeding these guidelines.
HAPPY CAMPING!
