About this campground
Perched above the dramatic Pacific coastline, Warren Group Camp offers an unforgettable basecamp for up to 40 adventurers within the breathtaking Salt Point State Park. Here, where ancient sandstone cliffs meet the endless ocean, your group will discover a perfect blend of coastal wilderness and comfortable amenities. The camp provides a spacious shared bathroom facility, sturdy picnic tables for memorable outdoor meals, and traditional fire rings where stories flow as freely as the ocean breeze. Wake to the sound of waves crashing against sculptured rock formations and spend your days exploring tide pools, hiking coastal trails, and witnessing nature's raw beauty.
Warren Group Camp accommodates group camping and tent camping.
Historical SignificanceWalk in the footsteps of the Kashaya Pomo people, who called this rugged coastline home for thousands of years before European settlement. In the 1800s, industrious quarry workers transformed these cliffs into a bustling sandstone operation, shipping building materials to construct growing San Francisco. Today, you can still discover their legacy etched into the landscape—weathered drill holes and rusted eyebolts embedded in sandstone tell silent stories of backbreaking labor and maritime commerce. These historical touchstones transform a simple hike into a journey through time.
Weather and SeasonsThe Pacific Ocean works its magic here year-round, wrapping summer days in mysterious coastal fog that keeps temperatures hovering around a refreshing 64°F—perfect for hiking without breaking a sweat. When winter arrives, it brings its own charm with gentle rains that average in the low 40s, painting the landscape in vibrant greens and filling seasonal streams. Don't be surprised if you experience all four seasons in a single day—the mercurial coastal weather adds an element of adventure, transforming familiar trails with sudden fog banks or revealing stunning vistas when the mist clears.
ElevationYour Salt Point adventure spans an impressive vertical journey from the churning waters at sea level to windswept ridges climbing nearly 1,000 feet into the sky. This dramatic elevation change creates a tapestry of ecosystems—from tide pools teeming with colorful anemones to coastal bluffs carpeted in wildflowers, ascending through dense forests to expansive inland prairies where hawks circle overhead. Each elevation zone offers its own unique perspective of this magnificent landscape.
Natural Features and SceneryWarren Group Camp nestles into a stunning natural amphitheater where coastal bluffs, emerald forests, and golden meadows converge. From your campsite, the mighty Pacific Ocean stretches to the horizon, its moods shifting from glassy calm to tempestuous drama. Coastal cypress trees stand sentinel against the wind, their gnarled branches framing perfect sunset views. In spring, wildflower meadows burst with lupine and poppies, while autumn brings migrating whales visible from the bluffs. Keep your binoculars handy—harbor seals bask on offshore rocks, while deer emerge from the forest at dusk to graze in nearby meadows.
Geological RegionWelcome to one of Northern California's most spectacular geological showcases, where millions of years of tectonic forces and oceanic sculpting have created a landscape of extraordinary diversity. The rugged coastline reveals layer upon layer of ancient sandstone, carved by waves into honeycomb patterns and sea stacks that defy gravity. Moving inland, the terrain transforms through distinct ecological zones—from windswept grasslands dotted with weathered rock outcroppings to mysterious pygmy forests where century-old trees stand no taller than a person. Second-growth redwood groves provide cool, cathedral-like retreats, their recovery from historic logging a testament to nature's resilience.
