A very nice California State Beach but basic in that there are no hookups. Beautiful views and easy beach access. We had some stiff winds while we were there that inhibited a lot of outside time. Otherwise it would have been a great. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for one night in to our rented motorhome. Good campground, quite spacious even though very busy. Recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our favorite campground on a recent trip up the California coast. The sites are spacious, clean, and level. All sites have a view of the ocean. There was a flat walking/biking trail following the coastline that went through the park. The personnel were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was that they did not enforce the generator rules. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park but somewhat expensive for no hookups (and typical of CA state parks...). Easy back-in site to get into. Friendly rangers, great location - right on the beach, and Half Moon Bay is an awesome little town. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place should be a 10 for a no hookup park. But the reservation systems is wacky. Online you can book 3 nights in advance, not tonight or tomorrow which is fine. But when you arrive and the site is open both nights you can only book tonight, then go back after 9:30 am to book the next night. As a result, people who come in during the week with no reservations are jumping from site to site. Way too much moving around for no reason at all. Weekends are booked solid. $7.50 to book online, worth it if spending several nights, but if passing through and would like to spend a couple of weekdays, beware. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great place! We (Husband/Wife and kids 17/12/4) camped here 2 nights at the recommendation of a friend - we will be back! Only problem was the not so friendly female ranger. I went to ask if we could move from our mid-row site to one that backs up to the ocean - she just kept saying, "its important to keep the site you signed up for" ok, but if the other sites aren't reserved she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Everyone friendly, bathrooms clean, warm showers, (50 cents will do it) close to town, very friendly camp hosts. Firewood is $8 a bundle. Kids loved the water. Rented boogy boards in town. We will be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wide open spaces. Ocean view from some. A very clean beach. We drove to San Francisco about 30 miles north. Like San Francisco, this area tends to be cold and windy, so bring extra blankets. Were able to get excellent broadband and cell service. The town of Half Moon Bay was delightful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great place to stay if you are touring on California Highway 1 and would like a clean, safe, ocean-front place to stay. All of the campsites were recently renovated to include paved parking spurs with room for a recreational vehicle and a tow vehicle along side. Sites are well spaced but there are few trees or shrubs to provide privacy. Ocean-front sites have a relatively unobstructed view of the water with only a few trees and shrubs to contend with. Picnic tables and fire rings provided but you must back in to the ocean-front sites for these amenities to be on the curb side of your rig. It was quite windy during our stay which discouraged us from cooking outdoors or using the fire ring. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our new favorite park. Just a stones throw from the beach and the trails along the bluffs are spectacular. Lots of birds and flowers and walking distance to town. A bit crowded traffic-wise during the weekend. I understand this park was refurbished about 3 years ago to accommodate the new, larger rigs. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Sites are well spaced and most provide a decent view of the ocean. Long stretch of beach that is easily walkable. Long bike/walk trail that runs along the coast for a few miles. Bathrooms adequate. We were unable to get any signal with WIFI but didn't really put a lot of effort into troubleshooting it. I can see no reason that there shouldn't be electric hook-ups. Water is available at many locations throughout the park. Campground is patrolled often and we felt safe. I would camp here again in a heartbeat and stay longer if there were electrical hook-ups and WIFI. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Like most California State Parks, this one does not have hookups. The climate is such, however, air conditioning is not needed. Not many sites have shade. Sites are paved and level, with a good distance between sites. Not much privacy though. WiFi good but at a cost of $7.99 per 24 hours through AT&T. Biking/Hiking path paved and runs more than a mile south before becoming a dirt trail. At least a mile to the north. I've been here before and do not recall the number of tenters as experienced this time, close to 40% of spaces filled with tenters. Two sites next to me had seven tents and four cars and untold number of adults though they were quiet neighbors. I could easily rate this a 9 or 10 were WiFi free and tenters were assigned to their own areas. About a mile walk into town of Half Moon Bay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I will go back, this was a nice campground. Hookups sure would have been nice, but the proximity to the beach made up for it. The showers were very clean, as was the entire park. Great bike trail that runs through the park. Very weak WiFi signal, and if you have a water thief you can fill up there. Sites were good sized with paved driveways. Grass picnic areas in most sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Do not understand the bad remarks, this is a great campground with nice and helpful people. We came in on a Monday when the first big storm was coming in from Japan with rain and wind. The guy that checked us in came right out and helped me back in and get hooked up in the rain. We had no problems with a 34-ft motor home with a car. Stayed here 3 nights and would stay again. The walk to the beach is great and the showers and laundry room where very clean. This is not a resort: it is a great family campground. There are full time units here but everything is clean and there's no trash. If you need a great park outside of San Francisco, then stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Was shocked by negative comments. Have been here several times and staff most helpful. A bit controlling re guiding you in space but they do it well and just strike an attitude. Sewer hookup was too small this time but they were great re providing an adapter free of charge. Who could be unhappy in this beautiful ocean view next to Ritz Carleton? It's breathtaking. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here several times over the years and when planing our latest trip we read the reviews and were shocked at the negative comments. We figured things had really changed. We almost did not come here, but we had business close by so chose to take a chance. Much to our surprise the folks in the office were extremely helpful and cheerful. There do seem to be some new rules that are a little weird - where you can and cannot park with our size rig, in spite of being willing to pay the additional fee, but we did get a nice spot with an ocean view. It is a little pricey when compared to some of the other places we have stayed on our most recent trip, but we do have an ocean view (at least until another rig moves in next door)! Unless things change over our stay we will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Motorcyclists beware ! This park is NOT! motorcycle friendly. Having stayed here before in our travel trailer, i decided to try the park while on a Christian motorcycle ministry trip. I tow a kwik kamp trailer that is similar to a pop up tent trailer and have never had a problem with any RV park taking it. I was told they didn't allow anything that could be towed with a motorcycle. I advised them that we were ministers and riding Gold Wings that were very quiet. They didn't care, they weren't about to rent space to anyone on a bike. So, if you are riding a bike, "Keep moving" We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a small, quiet park conveniently located next to 2 golf courses and the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention a Ritz-Carlton within walking distance. We had spot 56, while not terribly big, it was bigger than many that weren't on a corner as we were. We have 2 small children, and while there isn't much to do at the park for them, the beach is a short walk and worth visiting for the day. We camped here in a Class C, and we really enjoyed listening to the ocean at night with our windows open. You can't see it, but can definitely hear it. We did have a golf course view from our spot which was nice. We particularly like to visit in October when the weather is sunny and during Pumpkin season. Although this time we will be trying Costonoa and I will be eager to compare; however, I would return to Pelican Point as well. The price seemed a bit steep, but probably because of it's proximity to the ocean, very close! We camped here in a Motorhome.

As much as I hate to give any park a bad rating, I just cannot help it this time. This is a nice, clean park, but that is the end of it. The cable t.v. has a few local channels, most are California channels that do nothing but play infomercials. No internet, no WiFi. The spots are very narrow and you have to back in, (no small job) onto a narrow piece of concrete. Then you must park next to your rig. That leaves just about enough room to open the truck door and leave dents in your trailer. This is one of the parks that are so common now days. It was built way back in the days before slide outs. Back when we towed narrow trailers with half ton trucks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Pelican Point RV Park, in Half Moon Bay, California, is within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean and is located 30 miles south of San Francisco on California Highway 1, about 50 miles north of Santa Cruz. The park, originally constructed in the 1970s, is clean and well maintained, but not for everybody. For adults looking for a quiet place to spend a week-end or short vacation, it provides a great place to stay. Like many coastal locations the weather is usually over-cast and comfortably cool, with clear cloudless sunny days a rare event. August through November will provide the sunniest days. The park itself is also located next to two golf courses, and the area has many paved paths that provide nice bike riding or hiking opportunities. The nearby town of Half Moon Bay offers some good restaurants, and some nice little shops along Main Street, although the park is about three miles south of town and transportation can be a problem. There is a public transportation (Route 17) which stops a short half-mile walk from the park. (Use the path that starts at the south-eastern corner of the park; it’s flat, just turn left at the second bridge and walk to the office of the neighboring Canada Cove Mobile Park where the bus stops.) Pelican Point does offer cable TV and phone hook-up, but unfortunately no wireless internet access is available. But for families with kids, be warned, there are no playgrounds, swimming pool, or other activities for kids except horseshoes. The near-by public access ocean cove is small, and unfortunately has a strong under-tow that would make swimming dangerous. There is no movie theater in Half Moon Bay. During our stay the staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities included two showers for the men and three for the women. They were clean and quite adequate. The sites were all back-in with full hookup. They had small picnic tables, but no fire pits. The only problem we faced was the site disposal dump tube was smaller than the standard size, and we had to borrow an adapter from the office ($10 deposit). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean park. We only stayed one night but it was quiet, even with a few small dogs and some children. Checked in after the office was closed and paid in the morning. Sewer connection in our spot had an undersized receptacle so we had to use the main dump site, no big deal. Small store, people were friendly enough. Looks like they are doing some renovating with a few spaces being rebuilt. There are, what looks like, some full timers but things were pretty clean. Concrete pads, picnic tables and an ocean view. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Little difficult to get into, but worth the effort. This is a beautiful location on the Pacific Coast that shouldn't be missed. Nice walking trails. Couple of nice cafe's in the area for breakfast. Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean and quiet RV park. We were the only trailer with children. We loved the short walk to the beach. Some sites have great views of the golf course and/or ocean. Staff and fellow neighbors were very friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Friendly staff. Paved streets, concrete and grass sites with picnic table. Small store. Very quiet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some sites are narrow if you have slideouts. Sites are level and deep. They charge extra for each person beyond two people. If you have a friend come and visit you during the day, they charge a visitor's fee of $2 per person and $3 per car. Beautiful views of the ocean. Walking distance to beach access (which entails going down a 55-stair walkway). Adjoins the golf course owned by the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel nearby. Golf cart paths are also good for taking a walk along the shore (about a 50-foot dropoff down to the water). We camped here in a camper.
