#2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Area
Cynthia was very nice and accommodating. Right off the highway, next to a beautiful field of calla lilies and nearby horses, you could hear the surf occasionally pounding, passing cars once in a while. So close to main Half Moon Bay shopping center, it's a great deal. Definitely use her directions, may be hard to find, but we just made a u-turn and got in the second time around.

Horse farm near road and with sunse

#2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Area
The location was well marked with the sparkly sign and described appropriately. The horse farm was next to the camping area and the host had firewood left out A little set of chairs and a picnic table were there. We did not realize it was so close to the road and so far from the ocean , in that you can’t see the surf , but it was otherwise fine as described

Great spot in Half Moon Bay on Hwy1

HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop #1
A perfect spot easy to access for a quick stay over. Clear instructions and convenient porta potty. A little Hwy 1 noise, but not much traffic at night. Would def visit again.

Just blocks from downtown of Half Moon Bay is a pretty, simple, and affordable place to Hipcamp. We showed up late without the need for further registration or interaction, made ourselves at home, enjoyed using our gear in the privacy of our temporary home away from home, slept well, and left early without additional needless interaction just like we do everywhere we go. Pro tip our first stop the next morning was Dawn Patrol Coffee.

Very convenient overnight stop.

HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop #1
The space was welcoming, and perfectly flat. We loved the clean outhouse!!!
We came from the south , so had to backtrack to get the instructions right. But not hard to find once we came in from the north.
Roosters started at 3:55am, so be prepared for that.
Right on the highway. For better or for worse. Convenience, but also lots of road noise.
Overall very good stop.

Safe & comfortable parking for the nice.
Well kept road and property.
Just the basics- I would have liked more clarification if I was able to use my propane stove during fire warnings- the host did not respond with an answer.
