A quiet corner of Marin that the fog remembers
Haypress Campground sits on the bluffs above the Golden Gate, where the old military roads of Fort Barry still wind through coast live oak and Monterey cypress. It is not a resort. It is not a hotel. It is a place — simple, open, and honest — where you sleep under the same sky that sailors and soldiers have watched for over a century.
Set within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, our campground offers a rare combination: the solitude of coastal woodland and the convenience of just minutes from Sausalito and the San Francisco ferry.

Perched on the northern tip of the Marin Headlands, Haypress Campground commands views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the open Pacific. It is one of the few places in the Bay Area where you can fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake to the fog rolling over the ridge.
The campground is within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Nearby you will find the historic Fort Barry buildings, coastal hiking trails, and the quiet beaches of Marshall's Beach and Baker Beach.

Coastal Hiking Trails
Dozens of miles of trails crisscross the Marin Headlands — from easy coastal walks to steep ridgeline hikes with panoramic views of the Bay and the Pacific.
Golden Gate Views
Wake to the bridge emerging from the fog. Haypress puts you close enough to feel the wind off the straits and far enough to hear nothing but the surf.
