This 60 acre property is located approximately 3 miles east of San Gregorio Beach in the San Gregorio area. There is no home here, only a travel trailer on the Upper Meadow. It is very peaceful, quiet and beautiful throughout the seasons. We are 5 minutes away from the San Gregorio General Store and cafe and 20 minutes from Alice's Restaurant. We have great cell coverage for Verizon, AT&T and Visible. Experience shows that T-Mobile does not work here and I don't know about the other internet providers. There are four campsites, each with easy 4WD access. Two of the sites offer total isolation with amazing views while the third site, while in a nice setting, is more useful for a quick overnight stay with no views of the ocean or canyon. Please note that five easy-going cows (no bulls) reside on this property. Dear winter and spring campers, please consider using "Sensible Weather" for your trip protection in the event of heavy rain or even high temperatures in the summer and fall. I have not used this insurance feature but the description makes it look worth considering, available when reserving on Hipcamp.

Red Dot Ranch offers a scenic, regenerative farm camping experience overlooking Pescadero and the Pacific Ocean. About the Land • The Vibe: The hillside has a gentle spirit with a glorious sunset golden hour over the Pacific, and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and watershed. Beyond the scenery, this is a space for curiosity and ecological innovation to remember that we don't just visit nature—we are part of it. • Our Mission: Red Dot Ranch is a working farm and foundation operating as a regenerative field station for food and shelter, moving good ideas from the lab to the land with a strategic focus on water. • Indigenous Land Acknowledgement: Red Dot Ranch is located on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone.

The Campsites and Amenities • The Sites: Open field campsites with sweeping ocean, mountain and valley views. • Parking and Access: Accessed via a steep, newly surfaced driveway with ample parking available. • Restrooms: One ADA-accessible porta-potty on site. • Showers: No showers available.
