Slide Ranch Dome Campsite

Best campsite ever

The views were beautiful and the dome was so cozy. A relatively private spot with some visitors throughout the day. If you’re looking to get away from the city for a few days I’d highly recommend going to Slide Ranch!

Slide Ranch Dome Campsite

1st time camping here for one night and my wife and I loved it. 10-15min semi flat hike to the site. Shared some for cooking and stuff. 5-10 walk to the beach. Beware of the poison oak and ticks. (Had one on my back when I got home) . Has a wonderful farm with all kinds of farm animals. Great place for youth. Best of all it’s a non-profit with proceeds going towards education. Two thumbs up.

Slide Ranch Dome Campsite

The campsite is a meadow looking out over the Pacific Ocean. To reach it, you need to bring your gear by wheelbarrow down a fairly long and somewhat hilly trail. Depending on how heavy your equipment is, this could be a lot of exercise, but it also means you get lots of privacy from the rest of the grounds. On a Friday night in June, we were the only campers. I hope to go back again soon. It's a great find so close to San Francisco.

Slide Ranch Dome Campsite

Very scenic, easy to find with instructions, and surprisingly not crowded. The dome structure / communal space was helpful, but having my own tent was needed. I wasn’t totally clear on that when booking, but luckily had one. Overall a great place to camp, hike / explore!

Beautiful and quiet site that is close to the city! The dome site makes it easy to cook even though campfires aren't permitted.

Falling asleep to the Ocean & Owls!

Loved. Loved. Loved this site! Quiet with only the sounds of the ocean and local owls. The Bone Grove was a special place to feel the energy of the sunrise and the dome kitchen was perfect for making a quick meal. Will be coming back for sure.
