We welcome groups!

The Marin Headlands Hostel welcomes groups of all types, and offers both overnight accommodations and meeting/event space for weddings, conferences, retreats, reunions, and other special events.

The hostel is also a popular destination for school and youth groups, many of whom take advantage of the range of outdoor and intercultural activities provided by our Hostel Adventure Programs staff.

Housed in historic officers' quarters in a National Park setting, the hostel is a unique and affordable option for your next group excursion, meeting, or special event.

Group accommodations

The hostel provides both shared and private rooms in two large historic homes--the Main House and the Annex--built in 1907 as officers' quarters in what was then Fort Barry.

Groups of all sizes from 10 to 105 can be accommodated overnight.

Meeting and event space

The hostel has two rooms available for meetings, workshops, or special events. For outdoor events, groups can take advantage of an enormous, open lawn area as well as a shaded patio with picnic tables and barbecue.

Maximum capacity for an indoor/outdoor function is 130.

Some equipment is available, including a chalkboard, projection screen, and recreation equipment for indoor and outdoor games.

Group dining

Both of the houses--the Main House and the Annex--have fully equipped kitchens and dining rooms. For outdoor dining, a shaded patio with picnic tables and barbecue are available.

Groups may choose to bring groceries to prepare themselves, or hire a caterer.

Youth programs

Tailored programming is available to youth and student groups, from outdoor wilderness adventures to intercultural activities like World Travel 101, Cultural Kitchen, the Community Walls mural project, and Girl Scouts badge work. For details, please see the Programs section of the Golden Gate Council website.
