Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
40 Acres of majestic redwoods bordering Wilder Ranch State Park gives you access to thousands of acres of excellent hiking and mountain biking right from your campsite. Miles of single-track and fire roads in this world-class mountain bike destination lead you through the redwoods to sunny meadows with sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the Monterey Bay. Conveniently located above the westside of Santa Cruz, our site will give you easy access to scenic Westcliff Drive, Natural Bridges State Beach, downtown Santa Cruz, quaint Felton, Henry Cowell Redwoods state park as well as remote North Coast beaches. Please note tent camping is a rain-or-shine activity. :)

Hope to go sometime!
We were so bummed to not use our reservation. We had a few first time campers and the weather was forcasted to be pretty wet and rainy so we opted not to go. Really hope to go another time!!

I enjoyed tent camping at Scott's site. The spot was spacious. There was a firepit, well-maintained woodchip toilet, and firepit. The spot was well-shaded by redwood trees and there were near by residential homes but the area was quiet overall. This spot is off Empire Road which is close to great hiking and biking trails.

Peaceful and spacious area. Close to some scenic hiking trails. Scott was a helpful host and added some camping essentials to the site.

Beautiful scenery and shaded most of the day. Chairs and picnic benches plus a fire pit were nice amenities as well. It wasn't quite as remote as I expected but it was still great.

Location was nice. There was unfortunately a decent amount of garbage that had spilled out of one of the garbage cans and not been cleaned up.
