Ragged Point Hwy 1 pull off

This place was perfect for us. We are self-contained in a travel bus so we didn’t have to worry about using the bathroom anywhere. The view was absolutely spectacular! We got up on our roof and watched the sunset over the waves! We weren’t bothered by the traffic noise, though it was a Tuesday night in March. We always carry earplugs anyway. It’s definitely close to the freeway, but you cannot beat the view!

If you don’t have your own bathroom facility, it might not be a great place to be because there’s no privacy. Also no cell service whatsoever. Which was actually kind of nice!

As others said, right off the side of the highway but still a nice free spot to camp. Pretty cliff side views.

A wonderful Place to sleep.

Very quiet Place with a breathtaking view over the sea

Quiet, not much going on, it's just a turnout. One other van staying there, not space for many more.

Great views but right off the road. Not much space to park or camp.

Spot was great but had to back track about 35 minutes. Highway 1 is closed due to landslide.

Had the best experience sleeping in my car overnight! Absolutely beautiful, with restrooms and food .5 miles up the road!

We stayed there with a RV for one night and it was safe. In the morning drove a ranger by and didn’t say anything. Can only recommend!!

This camping spot is so close from the busy road that we decided to find another one. It can be a good alternate spot and the view is really nice though.

Good choice!

It’s not an official campsite and it has only space for max. 3 RV’s. Wonderful view over the ocean. Public restrooms and Restaurant 2min by walk.

Great for a one night stay. The view is absolutely spectacular! There’s space for a tent and a few cars here but not much else. Very close to ragged point gas station.

Overall the night wasn’t too bad once traffic died down. Lots of road noise during the evening and early night.

I got there around 5pm and there was 1 camper trying to repair something. Then around 8pm another car pulled in. I slept in my car with my dog, the place was quiet and has an area to the right where you could put a tent. Beautiful views.

Great lay off with space for tents! The view is amazing! Just past the gas station at rugged point if you are driving south! Gas at the station is very expensive! No cell reception until you get to the Elephant Seals.

Convenient location! Also much less road noise than we expected! Got in around 9:30pm & left just after 7am. Super easy. Only had one other camper van there & they pulled up after us.

This is a great place to sleep along the one. Quite a few of the counties have no overnight parking or camping signs along the pull outs so this is one of the few nice and legal places to go it! There’s also a cute little breakfast place close by for the morning!

If you venture about an 1/8th of a mile to the next guard rail. There is a beautiful private spot with nice view. Follow the pics for cozy spots

This is a great pull off on Hwy 1! It’s one of the few without a no camping sign, so we were not alone but it had plenty of space for three other car campers! The views are unreal!

Best view of all the pull offs, quite a steep drop off off of viewing area, so be mindful of children and dogs.
