we tried to book Francis Beach Campground… fully booked. so we ended up here instead and it was everything 🌊🏕️
📍 Sweetwood Group Camp — Half Moon Bay State Beach, CA
$165 for the whole night. Up to 50 people. 12 vehicles. Right next to the beach. 👀
Here’s the honest recap:
🌲 Cypress tree grove steps from the beach
🏕️ Tent only — the whole site is yours
🔥 Your own fire ring and picnic area
🚰 Running water and bathroom on site — no shower though
☀️ Mornings and afternoons — perfect weather
🌧️ Night hit and so did the rain AND wind at the same time 😭
💨 We did not expect that. But it made the whole trip unforgettable. 🤍
🐕 Pet-friendly site
💡 Before you book for Francis Beach Campground:

Would we do it again? Without a doubt. 🤍
