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.

Very peaceful. The drive is roughly 20 mins from town but worth it. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had. We will be staying here again in the future.

Beautiful camping experience
I loved this place, it was a flat land that was private. The host was great and friendly to interact. It felt far away from the madding crowd in the Bay but so close to everything.

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!
