Pillar Point RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Highway 1 runs close enough to Pillar Point RV Park that road noise is a consistent presence, day and night. That tradeoff comes with direct access to the Half Moon Bay coastline, putting surfers, kayakers, and anyone who wants to walk the waterfront within easy reach of their rig. The park sits in a compact footprint, and when sites fill up, spaces get tight. Front-row sites face the water and carry views of the open Pacific; interior spots are more sheltered but offer less to look at.

Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections make this a functional stop for RVs up to 40 feet. WiFi is available on-site. Campfires are allowed, and pets are welcome, though at least one reviewer noted that off-leash dogs have been an issue depending on who is hosting. Rates run on the higher end, which fits the general cost of camping along this stretch of the California coast.

The surrounding area is walkable. Restaurants, shops, and bike trails are all within reach on foot, and the beach itself is accessible without driving. "Surfing, walking/bike trails, kayaking," notes BRIAN O. among the nearby draws. Campers who want a quieter setting with more elbow room might compare options at Half Moon Bay State Beach Campground or Sweetwood Group Camping - Half Moon Bay State Beach, both a short distance southeast. Reservations are available and recommended, especially on summer weekends when the park fills quickly.

RIGHT ON THE BEACH!

Walking distance to shops and restaurants, walking and bike trails, beach access, and friendly staff! Only cons are the extremely busy road is right next to the park, it can be very loud and when the park is full the spaces can get pretty tight.

Cramped, loud parties, dogs roaming

Tight spaces, parties and music so loud you could hardly hear yourself inside your rig, and the camp host allowed dogs to roam off-leash. No longer a nice place to camp.

Beautiful View

Loved the view but sleeping near a highway is a little loud at night... nice place to go explore the beach and trails

Parking Lot w a View

Literally enough room to park your rig and if you’re lucky enough to be in the front you’ll have a sweet view. Definitely not my favorite place but if you need a place to stay the upside is the fact that it’s right on the water.
