Half Moon Bay is a delightful little town by the sea, located west of San Jose and south of San Francisco in northern California. The community was one of the first in the area, and was once known as San Benito and later on, Spanishtown.

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.

Great experience. We hadn't rented a camper van before but it was very easy to figure out and we were very comfortable. We spent a few days in Yosemite and had an amazing time. Very well equipped and ready for adventure.

Filipa took my kids (7 & 11) and I on a great adventure up the North Coast and into the Redwoods. We stayed the first night at the Petaluma KOA, which had lots of activities for the kids, and gave us a chance to learn all about Filipa's features.
