Half Moon Bay Road

[exportman]

My destination is Half Moon Bay State Beach in the San Francisco Bay area. My routing will take me north on US 101 to I-280N. Is the best routing for a motor home with toad to exit 280 on hwy 92 and then follow that road to the coast? Is hwy 92 OK for RVing? Thanks.

THANKS !!!

AFAIK, the weight restriction on Hwy. 85 applies to *commercial vehicles only*; my class C rig weighs about 12000 pounds, and I see RVs, i.e., motorhomes, 5th wheels, trailers, much larger than mine on 85 very frequently.

We love the fog horn!!! Helps us sleep. 92 isn't a problem with our toad. Done it many times. By the way, they sites are at sea level, but you can't see the water from them. That's why we like Pillar Point.

One more suggestion for your route, take 101N then the 85, then onto 280N this will cut some time out of the trip. As has been said, 92 is your only route over the hill and don't do it during rush hour.

Thanks for the quick response, folks. Samsontdog: first time for us to go to this park. Was able to score an ocean front site in April. The google earth view makes this place look so very nice. Question: are the sites on a cliff or close to sea level. Can't tell from the picture. Thanks.

sea level. What Ocean site did you get? I have camped at most sites.

92 is the only viable route to/from 280 over to the coast; for this reason, it's heavily trafficked, particularly during commute hours and on weekends. I suggest that you make your trip on a weekday after 9:30/10:00 and before 3:00.

We try to go to Half Moon Bay State Beach several times in the summer as it is one of fav places to camp. I tow a 34 ft TT over Hwy 92 with no problems sometimes there is a lot of traffic exp on a sunday afternoon or fri afternoon. We have camped there prob for 30 yrs or so

In Nov we came across the San Mataeo bridge onto 92 going to Pillar Point RV park on Half Moon Bay. We have a 40' DP with a toad. 92 is very windy and hilly, but the traffic moves at about 20 MPH because of the trucks on the curves and hills. It wasn't a problem at all. I wouldn't want to do it in the dark with a large MH for the first time though.

PP is a nice RV park - if someone would just shoot the fog horn out on the point that goes 24 hours a day.
