About Highlands Ranch
Highlands Ranch Hip Camp sites are located half way between Atascadero and Morro Bay. The weather at Highlands Ranch is more like the inland Atascadero side hot in the summer months and cold in the winter months. We have 4 terraced, no hook up, spots available all of which can accommodate 2 or 4 wheel drive camper vans, trucks or cars. One of the sites can be used for fifth wheel, small motorhome or multiple camper type vehicles and of course tents can be set up on all sites. Sites range from small to extra large, that are quaintly studded with oak trees and native greenery for a peaceful camp off the road. Also, from our sites available, there is only a 5 minute walk to the local, off the beaten path, restaurant called the Half Way Station (great food, beer/ wine, sweets and live music) open Thursday through Sunday, which you can find on Facebook or Instagram. You may also like, a drive, further west is the Morro Creek Ranch Country Store (Snacks, Oils, Avocados, and more), which you can find on Facebook as well and of course further west with tons of ocean fun is Morro Bay. Thank you, we look forward to meeting every Hip Camp adventurer .

[hipcamp aggregate summary]
This place is exactly as advertised, so there were no surprises. Host was very friendly. Dirt and steep roads but only for a very short distance.
This was an amazing spot! The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, we arrived super late at 12:40 AM, and they stayed up to make sure we found the site without any trouble. The porta potty was honestly the cleanest I’ve ever seen, and the location was perfect, just a short drive to Morro Bay. Highly recommend staying here!
Great spot close to the coast but hidden amongst the trees and nice and quiet. Nathan and his partner were super helpful with lots of communication, directions and even came out to the main road to show us around. Our campsite was flat and even had Astro turf laid to give us a comfortable space. We had a toilet, shower and drinking water. Couldn’t ask for more!
My partner and I loved this spot! Nathan and his partner were super welcoming and helped us get situated with ease. The campsite was clean and we could see the stars at night which I loved. Also the restaurant down the road is awesome!! And the location Morro Bay was great.
I loved the tent camping here! Directions were good and they were waiting for our arrival. Everything was just perfect!
