HMB in general is pretty cold and foggy most of the year, but I was most recently at this campground on Christmas and it was gorgeous. I would recommend going in the fall if you want sunny weather.
The campsites are not very private, but every time I’ve camped here the people around us have been nice. You can bike or walk a trail here that goes pretty far up and down the coast. The sunsets here are amazing.
If you go in the fall, make sure to check out the nearby crab fishing at Half Moon Bay pier. You can buy fresh Dungeness crabs right off a boat and you can get them steamed at the pier.
From the previous review, I’m not sure if you can still camp here, but it’s a great place to visit regardless! There’s a beautiful, large lake with swimming and kayak, paddle board and canoe rentals. They also do stand-up paddle board yoga and ukulele lessons! There’s also a section that allows dogs to swim and run around off-leash. The staff are super friendly and helpful.
Camp Dick is is a nice campground surrounded by trails, and only a short drive from Boulder. The camp sites are not very private and it gets pretty crowded on the weekends. The staff were very nice.
West Lake campground is a beautiful spot off 74. The lake is great for fishing, and the tent campsites are super private. Your pass includes access to other lakes in the surrounding area as well.
We didn’t see any moose but we could definitely hear them early in the morning.
Clean bathrooms and great, friendly hosts!
