Private Ranch Glamping
Beautiful land with spectacular views, birdsong and lovely farm animals. We were in nature but all essential amenities were thought of, and there were tons of games and activities for the entire family. Beautiful trails on property. Brendan was warm and welcoming, and visited the farm animals with our 5yo which he loved. We'll definitely be back.

This property is pure magic. Brendan the owner has really dialed in the fun factor with a one-of-a-kind campsite that has its own private wiffle ball stadium, soccer field, cornhole set up and pitching area all while overlooking the ocean and beautiful canyon that leads to the Purissima Creek preserve. Dining and social time is also terrific with bocce ball, darts and ping pong with a nice BBQ area and only ~50ft from where you park your car. There is also a fridge and BBQ.
Brendan is super friendly and accommodating and genuinely enjoys the guests stories/memories created while visiting his property.
We hope to be back again soon!

We had an amazing time at Brendan’s place! There were so many activities to do on the property and Brendan was very accommodating in carting our stuff up to the campsite. The views were beautiful and I would definitely recommend to others looking for a weekend getaway from the city.

Branden is an awesome host. Was very responsive to all our requests. The hang out spot had games and a barbecue grill which made it very convenient for our dinner. The campsite is very well maintained, had great view of the surrounding and full of activities. Thank you Branden for hosting us.

Brendan's property is magical! We had a really nice time staying there, unfortunately it was too short! I would like to go back for a few days and really take advantage of all the fun activities and accommodations!
Brendan and his family are exceedingly gracious and accommodating.
A few things of note:
- the camping area (also where the mini baseball diamond is in the photos) is about a 10 or 15 minute (beautiful and pretty steep) hike up from the main hangout / picnic area
- Brendan is awesome and will cart your gear to and fro with his ATV buggy thing
- there are goats, they are friendly, if you ask nicely you can hang out with them - this is a highlight!
- definitely stay more than one night so you can really enjoy it!
- the views from the camp area are absolutely stunning, you won't want to leave!
- it's pretty cool how remote it feels and only 50 minutes from San Francisco
We did a short supported bike tour down the coast and this was the first stop along the way and it was an absolute dream! Works kind of perfectly for bike glamping. I'll definitely be staying here again. Real summer camp vibes!

The hospitality was incredible from start to finish. Brendan and his family have a truly unique property that can accommodate most sized groups with amble opportunities to recreate and enjoy your surroundings. Very impressed with our stay.

We had a great time camping at Moon Crest Ranch. The campsite has an amazing view of the valley and the ocean beyond. The ranch has no lack of activities and our kids enjoyed the soccer field, the baseball diamond, playing darts and making s’mores down by the barn. Brendan is a wonderfully thoughtful host who had everything we might need handy before we even asked. Everything was well maintained and very clean. We will definitely be back.

Brendan's property is a dream! Only 15 mins from Half Moon Bay (we stopped at Sam's Chowder House on the way in), stunning views, miles of beautiful trails, and more activities than I've ever seen at a Hipcamp. He's an incredible host, providing little touches like hand warmers, a speaker, and more, and was very responsive when we needed anything. He even shuttled our gear up to the tent spot, which was much appreciated with the mud! Bonus: meeting his Pyrenees guardians-in-training was a huge highlight :)
