Beautiful view from the quiet camping spot. Picnic table and porta potty. Dog friendly. There is only one big camp spot. Quiet and private. Four miles to hwy. 1 and the beaches. Close to Open Space trails. 20 Minutes to historic little town of Half Moon Bay. 30 Minutes to the harbor. Fresh fish, fresh local vegetables for sale. Moderate temperatures at 700 feet, sunny skies cooled by the marine layer below. But watch the weather report for winter storms.Spectacular spot for dry camping. Drive to a large, flat, with views of forested redwood ridges. Very private and quiet. Close to Open Space trails and the beaches. Wi Fi calling and high speed internet via radio tower available near the cabin at the entrance to the Ranch. 45 minutes from the hustle of the Bay Area, this spot feels like you are in the middle of a great big wilderness.

Peace and quiet
Lovely level spot with views of the rolling hills. And so quiet. Hard to find that kind of quiet camping in the Bay Area. Appreciated the privacy with no other campers. Also appreciated the clean porta potty. The road in is winding with many blind turns and sometimes single lane but fortunately it's well paved and not very travelled. Go slow and be aware. Rebecca was very communicative before the trip as weather was a little unknown. But it all turned out perfect. Would definitely return.

We loved this site for our last minute Thanksgiving weekend. The place was easily marked off the road, accessible outdoor restroom. Huge space to spread out, and incredibly quiet. We’ll come back again.

Private and peaceful retreat
I had such a peaceful stay at Lobitos Creek Big Flat. The camping area is massive and incredibly private—you're the only camper here! Quite enjoyed watching the deer, rabbits, hawks, and more. I would certainly camp here again!

Nice private space
The big flat is a really convenient place to set up camp. The view was nice, the space is private, didn't see anyone all weekend. Getting up the hill before the property is a bit steep. Wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a short base sprinter van. Otherwise an excellent place to get out of the city and feel like you are in the mountains.

Peaceful nature escape
We had a fantastic stay at Lobitos Creek. The peacefulness of the area, coupled with the stunning views of the redwood ridges, made it a perfect spot to unwind. Being surrounded by nature, with no distractions, allowed us to fully enjoy the tranquility. The site itself is very private, spacious, and dog-friendly, which we appreciated. The proximity to the coast and nearby trails was ideal for some light hiking.
