Before you go

Local tips

  • 1Target an arrival at The Marshall Store by 13:00 to dodge the peak midday picnic crowd and secure easy shoulder parking.
  • 2The Golden Gate Bridge toll is all-electronic northbound to southbound; pay online within 48 hours or use your rental campervan's toll transponder.
  • 3Cell service drops out intermittently around Point Reyes National Seashore, so download offline maps before heading north.
  • 4Hawk Hill on Conzelman Road is a one-way downhill loop; keep the campervan in low gear on the descent toward Rodeo Beach.

Good to know

  • 1California Highway 1 along the Marin coast has tight switchbacks and sharp coastal drop-offs; observe advisory speeds in an RV.
  • 2Overnight street parking and boondocking are strictly prohibited throughout coastal Marin County and Point Reyes without an official reservation.
