Gas and diesel are for sale at the pier. You'll also find a full service OMC repair shop with four mechanics. The repair shop carries an extensive line of OMC engine parts and NAPA auto parts.

In the boathouse, you'll find a good supply of bait and tackle as well as snacks, drinks and ice to finish up your picnic lunch. Crab nets and clam digging supplies are sold as well as California fishing licenses. Propane and firewood are sold for RV-ers and campers.

The campground is bordered by acres of sand dunes and a long sandy beach. If you're a hiker, you'll find lots of places to wander and bird watching is phenomenal in the winter when the birds take refuge along the shores of Tomales Bay. There are hundreds of seals sunning themselves on the sand bars in the bay as well the tule elk grazing on Tomales Point.

Camping Rules

Camping is provided in grassy meadow areas amongst the sand dunes. While this has proven to be a popular option for group camping, the roping off of big areas has become an issue. In 2005, areas may be roped off with the permission by one of the Landing managers and the space paid for on those nights. (Alternatively: With each space secured, payment will be required.) Check at the gate before you register to clarify these rules.
