The community was one of the first in the area, and was once known as San Benito and later on, Spanishtown. Half Moon Bay was finally chosen as the permanent name for the town in 1874 and at that point, it was a thriving community with a diverse population from all over the globe.

Outdoors Adventures

California is an extremely outdoor-friendly state to find yourself in on vacation, with countless places to encounter and not nearly enough time to see everything. It is important to plan a strategy for tackling this issue before you arrive in Half Moon Bay to rent an RV because the number of choices can be a bit overwhelming. There are several state parks within a short distance of town that you can visit, like Butano State Park. Butano State Park is home to ancient canyons filled with iconic redwood trees that are endemic to Northern California. There are miles of relaxing hiking trails cutting through the dense forest, and several campgrounds where you can park your Half Moon Bay RV rental by owner. Portola Redwoods State Park is minutes away from Butano State Park and is also home to the majestic redwood trees, widely considered to be the largest trees on Earth. There are many small creeks and waterways in the redwood forest, and some hidden waterfalls you can find when you explore the large reserve. Camping is also an option at this park, as is the case with most state parks in California.

We had a great father-son road trip in Casey's van. Casey was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with before and during the rental. The van was comfortable and well suited for a long road trip, and pickup and return were both smooth and easy. Casey was always available when we had questions, and I appreciated how quickly he responded throughout the trip. I'd be happy to rent from him again.

We had a great three days with the camper van. It was the perfect size for the two of us — comfortable, well laid out, and easy to settle into. Everything was very intuitive, especially the water and electric hook up, and we barely needed to be connected over the full three days. We were initially a bit nervous about driving and parking a van this size, but it ended up being surprisingly easy to drive and maneuver. Overall, it made for a really smooth and enjoyable trip, and we’d happily recommend it.

Loved our experience. Easy communication and the van was stocked with everything we needed. We were even able to coordinate an early pick up! Highly recommend.
