    New farm area with goats
    Patti F.

    My feelings about Costanoa are mixed. The grounds and views are amazing. I wanted to take a picture everywhere I looked, and the fresh air was so relaxing. I found Costanoa to have a great variety of lodging and activity options. It's a fun trip for families or couples trying to get away from their everyday hectic life. The Cascade Restaurant was much better than I expected and everyone in my party commented on the quality of the food. I appreciated how there is a sit down restaurant and also a casual place (Pine Tent) to get lunch or dinner. The General Store had a decent selection of snacks and drinks for purchase. I didn't get to do any activities but they all looked fun! They have a playground for kids and lawn games. There are pedal karts for rent and I saw many kids just riding around on their own bikes. However, I stayed in the Bungalow Tent and I had the worst sleep ever in my life. I have had 2 children and had to wake up throughout the night to nurse, but it did not compare to the terrible sleep I had in my tent. The tent is made of sturdy canvas and it has a door and windows. I noticed that my window was broken so it didn't close completely. At night, the temperature drops quite a bit but there is no heater in the tent. They do provide heated blankets. The Outer Pine area where my tent was located, was extremely windy. I don't know if this was unusual but I am assuming it's pretty normal for the area. As a result, the tent sides were flapping continuously from about 10pm-4am. When the wind finally died down, animals (maybe raccoons) started jumping and walking on my tent roof. As a result, I could not sleep from 4-6am. I barely got any rest for my one night at Costanoa. I was staying there for a yoga retreat, so I had to do hikes and yoga the next day. Boy, was I exhausted! It's inconvenient for females to have to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It's really dark, cold, and windy, so be prepared. There is only 1 indoor shower stall in each bathroom building (why??) and I didn't even take a shower because the other women were complaining that the water kept getting cold and then hot. I do want to return to Costanoa, but I'd never stay in the tents again. I would, however, like to try staying at The Lodge!

    This is a very clean and well maintained campin/ RV park spot. They also have a tent camping area. As well as small cabins and house keeping tents. We did RV and tent camping in our spot. 6 people maximum with RV hook ups and a platform area for the tent. The bathrooms were steps away and toilets and showers always clean. Some have additional fire place with sauna area for free. The spots are very close to each other they do not waste space. Each area comes with a fire pit. So privacy can be tough as well as noise. You must be mindful most days at 10pm everyone was quiet and asleep. There is a drink cart that came on our last day (Thursday afternoon) and sold stiff adult beverages. For about 20 a pop. One left me side ways- not complaining!!! :) The little convenience store has a bit of everything. Merch, food, souvenirs and wine. As well as goat food pellets. They have daily activities for kids and corn hole. The bar was closed these day but the more formal restaurants was open. It's a 20-25 walk to the beach after crossing the busy freeway- be careful. Very secluded and quiet there also. Closest thing is the Lighthouse 3 miles away. All and all a great organization just a tad on the boring side if you want more action but very peaceful and relaxing.

    One of our favorite coastal places to camp. It's so cozy and relaxing. The groundskeepers and staff are nice. The store is really cute. The cafe has delicious food. The main restaurant was being finished this time around, but when we ate there before, we loved it. You can see gorgeous sunsets when it is not overcast. Good hiking and walking around the grounds, Close to many beaches. The only downfall in this area is limited areas for dogs on the beach.

    This place exceeded my expectations! The campground was amazing, with so many activities and a great pull-in spot for our trailer. The grounds were wonderful, and it's so close to the beach. What really stood out to me was the restaurant. Most of all, every single person working there was so kind and fun. We had some of the best service we've ever experienced at the restaurant, and our server was absolute top-notch! I really wanted to shout him out--I feel so bad that I can't remember his name--because he truly made the experience. Thank you to the entire staff. What a wonderful place! We will definitely be back.

    I have heard about this place forever from a friend who raved about it. The website photos, which feature the bath house, are lovely and feature a big cozy fireplace. The reality is that our cabin was not inexpensive - $240 - and was dirty. I spilled a tiny bit of soup on the floor and when I wiped it up, the paper towel was filthy. The shower had dirty footprints on the floor and a dusty old spider web hanging down. Paint in the tiny bathroom was chipped. The bed appeared clean but the robes were suss and the extra blanket was beat. After looking at the floor, i was worried about the cleanliness of the dishes. The bathhouse was tired, no fire was lit. No sauna. The restaurant and spa were closed. It was a little cheerless. The in room coffee was good and plentiful and there was half and half. Our morning walk to the beach was wonderful.

    We have been coming to this RV resort for Years ! I can't believe this is my 1st review . Very large resort ! Great activities for the kiddos in the summer ! Amazing views and right off Highway one . Also, we gotta say all the staff here are ALWAYS friendly,welcoming,and knowledgeable! That is so important! Great Restaurant and Bar . And in the summer a Bar Cart cruises around the park ! So, many wonderful trips here. This is our destination on the Coast . :)

    The land all around is so beautiful!

    We went as a group of women on retreat. We had lots of fun, but.......everything was difficult in terms of communication. It was not easy to coordiate, and we were miss-informed about a lot of things. The staff at the venue did not seem to have a sense of urgancy about much of anything....even getting new towels was a hassle. I called Logan, the manager, a week ago but still have not had a call back. It really felt like once they received our payment, they didn't care much about our stay. There was even crazy loud dominatrix sex happening at night in the cypress bungalows... like, NOT the kind of thing that you would expect to hear at a "family campground". The staff didn't seem to care. Our family has visited Coastanoa many times over the last 25 years and we have always loved it and felt like we were treated very well. It was always such a treat to go. So this visit was a big surprise and unexpected disappointment. It's extremely expensive (it used to be more affordable) for what you get. I have a feeling they are trying to target large companies who can pay more than regular individuals. It didn't used to be like that....it's sad.

    Celebrating the 4th!

    Glamping at Costanoa was everything we needed! This place is super clean, comfy, and GORGEOUS! Set along the coast and the mountains. Coming from San Francisco, Pescadero was the perfect distance for us This family retreat had it all. A fantastic restaurant, a general store, and a fun pine tent bar/restaurant that had great music and fresh made pizza. Costanoa wanted to make fire that the grown ups had as much fun as the kids But the nature walks, and all of the beautiful birds was zen. It was peaceful. We decided to go for the 4th of July and the activities Costanoa planned for their guest was awesome! They had a parade where all the guest and dogs dressed and walked, Bingo, and music. Fun! Fun! Fun! 5 stars to the staff and care they gave to all of us guest and the to the establishment. We stayed in the tent bungalow with the amazing heated blankets. They had WI-FI! Thank you Costanoa for a great memorable stay Our next visit we must stay at the lodge! It looks amazing!

    Thank you Costanoa for making our 4 year anniversary trip so special! Everything was perfect. Clean cabins, nice campsites, stunning views, great hike nearby, and right across the street from the beach! What more could you need? They even provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine when they found out it was our anniversary. The best surprise ever!

    This is probably my fifth time dining here in the last three months. Every time was great except for yesterday the waiter, a young male, kinda long hair, kept forgetting what we ordered. I ordered a Arnold Palmer. He did bring that out, after I drink my beverage, ,he asked me if I wanted a refill. I said yes, so he brought me a lemonade and he brought an iced tea to another guest and when I explained to him, I had ordered the Arnold Palmer. He giggled and said well you can mix it up and make your own. We requested bread usually they do have bread Service. It took him after. I reminded him two times halfway through our dinner to bring it out. I ordered the half chicken and that was actually delicious. We also ordered crabcakes. They're very expensive and I do not recommend the crabcakes cheeseburgers were excellent and then at the end he got the bill mixed up and it just seemed like he got attitude because I told him to fix it. He came back dropped off my bill and I could not believe what happened next. If you read all my reviews, I try to give everybody good reviews because I understand it is a business and people make their livelihood through a business and some days people are off, so I try not to give a bad review but in this case at the end of the meal, he did say thank you when he gave me bill, then he turned around and there was a very bad odor like if he gassed and left because he was upset at us during the dinner he kept giggling and saying my bad it seemed like if he was on something and I did ask him are you OK sir but I will tell you right now. I will not come back here and eat. Pescadero in such a beautiful town and the state part up there is wonderful and I really enjoyed the layout of this restaurant but after last night, I'm sorry I do not recommend this place. The owners need to talk to their staff or people will be upset. Good luck.

    Beach closeby all to ourselves!

Located at the coastal beach town of Pescadero, this is directly off of the Pacific Coast Highway while being about 30 minutes south of Half Moon Bay and roughly an hour south of San Francisco. I have not been here since I was a kid so being able to make a triumphant return was a pretty special experience to me. I came here with my lady during the afternoon on Saturday 9/5/2026 at around 3:00pm. There is a dedicated parking lot that is adjacent to the front entrance area as well as a few public restrooms also near the parking area. If you plan on seeing amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, normal park hours are from 8am-sunset. What really makes this place special is that they offer several buildings (open to the public) every Thursday through Sunday from 10am-4pm. This includes the Fog Signal Building, a gift shop store, an oil bunker, and keepers' cottages. Many of these buildings are preserved and have a very rustic beach feel to it. The main focal point here is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse which stands at an impressive 150-feet and is one of the tallest lighthouses in America. There are also several areas where you can birdwatch, enjoy lunch at one of their picnic tables, and even a small public beach that is only a short 300-ft walk from the parking lot. One other thing that really fascinated us was the "HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel". This is where you have the option of booking a dorm (with strangers) or reserving a private room (that can comfortably sleep either 3, 5, or 12 guests) on any given night. All in all, the "Pigeon Point Light Station - State Historic Park" is a spot worth checking out. Even though you're in the Bay Area in San Mateo County, being here feels like you're in a whole different world. I plan on someday booking a stay at the hostel to truly get a feel of what this place is all about. When you factor in the million-dollar views combined with a ton of sites that can wow any mariner or history buff, this place has it all. With that said and done, I am giving this amazing landmark a unanimous five-star rating.

You can wonder around the lighthouse, other artifacts and some great views here at this beautiful spot on the ocean. Be sure to walk to the end of the property behind the out buildings.

When I picked her up, she was in tears and as we drove home, she told me details about the verbal abuse, threatening behavior, and dismissive attitude from her camp counselor. My daughter and her friend who attended camp with her shared that their camp counselor yelled at them, unreasonably limited their time for using the restroom and showering, threatened to write all cabin members up without just cause, permitted physical and verbal abuse from another camper in their cabin, dismissed their concerns for their own safety in the presence of this misbehaving cabin mate, told all the girls they were "the worst cabin ever", denied the girls snacks while eating her own in front of them, and did not permit the girls to fully explore the grounds as other campers were allowed to do. They expressed that the negative treatment from the counselor was unwarranted and not a result of misbehavior on their part. In addition, this mistreatment was across the board; everyone in the cabin was denied the same opportunities. Based on their observations, it appeared that campers from other cabins might have had better experiences. We contacted YMCA leadership and expressed our concerns. Their response lacked empathy, accountability, and any real sense of urgency in making sure other campers were not exposed to the inappropriate behavior of this counselor. If you're considering sleep away camp, I strongly suggest you AVOID the YMCA. Whether it's poor vetting, ineffective training, inexperienced leadership, or something else, it's not worth the risk of the potential harm to your child.

The room my husband and I stayed in was very warm, but some other rooms seemed to have heating issues. There's not really much of an open space there to see scenery, but you are pretty much in the middle of the redwoods so that is pretty cool. The meals they served were also quite filling, as they were always buffet style. One day, many of us went to walk around the hiking trails during the afternoon. I wish the hiking trails were more marked, as many of us got lost among them during the day since a fire road would often run through the trails. Something I have to give a huge shout out to the staff there thought was really helping our group out during an emergency situation. All that to say, I give a 4 star rating to this campground site.
