Half Moon Bay

After leaving Costanoa, we arrived for a 3-day stay at Pelican Point RV Park outside Half Moon Bay.

Our campsite was ho-hum as we were forced to use extra long sewer, water, and electric hookups in order to see the ocean (and the golf course in between) . . .

Our foggy view of the pacific (and the golf course)

However, the ocean was a short walk away . . .

MIRAMAR BEACH RESTAURANT

The dining highpoint of our stay was a visit to the Miramar Beach Restaurant outside Half Moon Bay.

As advertised . . . on the ocean

. . . and Rescue Dog wine (part of the proceeds go to dog shelters – love this state)

GOLDEN GATE VIA DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO

After leaving Pelican Point RV Park, we drove north along Highway 1 (beautiful) and headed for our next campground in Petaluma . . .

Here’s Jan driving through San Francisco and over the Golden Gate Bridge in our 30-foot RV towing a Honda CRV

Costanoa

We arrived at Costanoa on Thursday, June 18th, and stayed three days. Very impressive campground, especially for kids who really made the park alive.

Several sites offer an ocean view, but our view was blocked by other RVs. However, there are several trails that lead to the ocean.

LANDSCAPING

We have never stayed at a campground that was more landscaped and attended to . . .

A large variety of plantings along roadway and campsites

CAMPSITE TYPES

Besides the typical RV back in and pull through sites, there were dedicated areas for tent campers as well as glampers who just want a room . . .

THINGS TO DO

If you just like to sit, there are plenty of sitting areas spread throughout the campground

For the kids . . .

For the adults . . .

Whale Watching in Monterey Bay

We’re now in Moss Landing, CA at the KOA campground. It was about a 4-hour drive from Barrett Cove campground. We arrived Monday afternoon to temperatures in the 60s – very comfortable. Super!

We signed up for a whale watching tour on Tuesday. We didn’t know what to expect. Our last whale watching was in San Diego 25 years ago and we didn’t see any whales.

This time it was different. Much different.

We checked into the Sea Goddess Whale Watch Office about Noon

Our whale watching was in Monterey Bay from 2 to 4 miles from shore

We were only about 30 minutes out when we spotted our first whale – a Humpback:

Then we headed into deeper water and saw one of several blue whales . . .

We were so lucky!

We’re Off!

First stop – Barrett Cove Campground, Site K8, for one night. Arrival temps in the mid-90s.

After we arrived, we almost had a show stopper – neither of our slide outs would extend. Bad mojo.

However, after some basic troubleshooting, I located the cause of the problem: a wire had worked loose from a power board. After it was reconnected, the slide outs slid again. Huzzah!

We’re Back !

We pick up our newly fixed SeaView RV tomorrow from https://sierraheavyduty.com in Sonora.

They’ve had it for about 5 weeks and repaired several items – biggest of which is the Powergear leveling system. I found out that it was me who caused the problem in the first place during my “repair” attempt . . . more on that later.

Anyway, we were able to make all the reservations for our RV trip in short order and arranged several week-long stays in campgrounds.

Most of the campgrounds will be new to us and one in particular we have to point out – Costanoa Camp Resort. This ocean-side campground not only has terrific views, but also a good restaurant on site. We’ve included their menus . . .

Breakfast – https://rvseniormoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/cascade-breakfast-032726.pdf
