    FEEL GOOD CAMP

    16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Watsonville, CA
    This is camping made easy. No need to bring your cooking supplies, stoves, barbeque and dinnerwares ! We have them all. If you like to be social and have bonfire and have a nice chat with fellow campers , this is the place for you. We are committed to provide good beds and beddings because we know how important good sleep is (even when you camp!) so we just spent time, money and energy to replace all of our camping mattresses with memory foam mattresses!!! We had people swear that this is the best bed they ever slept in. The campground is located in a serene oak grove area of the property. Its a peaceful getaway with an abundance of bird varieties and occasional wild turkeys passing through. Take a stroll around our 5-acre property and catch a breathtaking sunset from the hillside. We're only 11 minutes away from Mount Madonna State Park and just 10 minutes from a local healthy grocery store and yoga studio. The beautiful Pajaro Dunes coastal area is just a 15-minute drive away, and the Santa Cruz Fairground is only two minutes away. Our location is surrounded by family friendly farms such as Gizdich ranch and nurseries, hence why it's considered the salad bowl of the United States. The Santa Cruz beaches are only 15-25 minutes away, while Monterey Bay Aquarium is just 30 minutes away and Gilroy Gardens is about 25 minutes away. The wine trail is also nearby. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, including horseback riding at Mount Madonna Stable, Mount Madonna Retreat Center, hiking at Mount Madonna State Park, wine tastings at various wineries with stunning views, kayaking at Elkhorn Slough or any beaches, yoga at Watsonville Yoga or onsite, swimming, scuba diving in Monterey, visiting the Hanoman temple at Mount Madonna retreat center, and attending any events at the Santa Cruz Fairground. The property has 3 stalls for hot showers, 1 hand washing sink, 3 flushable toilettes, 1 communal outdoor kitchen with supplies of cookwares, dishes, mugs, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, coffee mugs, and 1 sink with hot water, 3 fire pits (2 of them is fire burning and 1 of them is propane), camping stoves, 1 gas barbeque and there is an electricity in the communal kitchen area. Propane for fireplace is included and Firewoods are available for sale. Board games, Books, Magazines, Lawn games are available as well as drawing papers and coloring pencils/markers/oil paint for our little artists. Your parking spot is within a very short walking distance and there is a wagon for you to use to haul your belongings to your camp site.

    Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

    2 sites · Tents9 acres · Aptos, CA
    Nestled in a canopy of redwoods, less than 10 miles from the beach sits a private and cozy campground. Fern Ridge Flats combines the best of Santa Cruz county. Abundant trees and misty mornings await you at our property in Aptos. Equipped with electricity, water, and a picnic table for your convenience. There are trails on the land for you to explore, animals, and nature to dive into. *************** Smoking and the use of drugs are strictly prohibited. This is a safe and quiet neighborhood with many families including my own. Please do not request to book if you have the intention of partying or using illegal substances. If these rules are violated, local authorities will be called and you will be removed from the campsite. *************** The campsite is less than a 5 minute walk from the parking spot but is relatively steep. Although it is paved it is not recommended for anyone with mobility issues. *************** As an added precaution to protect the lush landscape, the firepit at the campsite utilizes clean burning propane. We chose a burner that closely replicates the size and heat of a wood to enhance our campers' experience.

    We've gone to the Sequoia Group Camp for the past 10 years. There are two sites. The lower camp seems more popular for groups with kids and is closer to the bathroom. We stay at the upper camp. The tent sites are a little farther apart. Each site has one fire ring and you have to supply your own firewood. The bathrooms are great: flush toilets and hot showers for $0.50/2minutes. There is fairly short trail down to the ranger station/store and major trailheads. Be sure to use the lockers for your food - raccoons have been a problem in the past.

    I love this campground! It is nice and shaded. I also love it because it is untouched land. The nature here is beautiful and lush and thriving. The dirt is heavy and red and the trees are the tallest greet moss covered trees. There is also a creek that you can find! Some campsites will have the creek flowing by them. It's so refreshing and even fun/safe freshwater to swim in. It's a natural habitat.

    This place was lovely. We went in summer and it was not crowded at all. The sites are private and secluded, as well as cool because we were under the redwood canopy. We went on a nice hike and it was a serene experience.

    Your guide to camping in Sequoia Group Camps

    Overview

    Biking

    Mountain bikes aren’t allowed on the single track lanes, however there are still some great rides. They are excellent for beginners because most of the riding is on fire roads, of which a large portion is paved. It’s not for dirt devils, but the remoteness of the area still makes it a special ride.

    Hiking

    So you want to hike through some of the oldest gigantic Redwoods in the state AND frolick around a waterfall? Well, that’s a little greedy, but why the heck not? This is Big Basin after-all and all your dreams can come true (if you dream about these things...I know that we do!). There’s over 18,000 acres to explore, so you can hike all that your heart desires. However, there is a lot, so make sure you check out some of the best hikes in Big Basin Redwoods.

    Horseback riding

    Horses are allowed in Rancho Del Oso and there is a horse camp! Make sure to check out the information for horse camping before going.

    Wind sports

    Waddell Beach, located across Highway 1 from the park entrance, is known worldwide as one of THE spots for windsurfing and kiteboarding. The steady, strong North-West winds and good surf provide ideal conditions for this demanding sport. With the strong winds and occasionally heavy surf, Waddell Beach is not recommended for novice windsurfers. Make sure you check wind conditions before you go and have an epic time. Just keep in mind that the beach is about a 50 minute drive away from the campgrounds, so plan accordningly.

    Surfing

    Waddell Creek is known as one of the great kiteboarding and windsurfing spots, but it also provides some excellent surf (on the right day). Make sure to see if the conditions are right before you head out. For a detailed “surf map,” check in with our friends at Surfline.

    Wildlife watching

    Big Basin is teeming with wildlife (this is a good thing). Sliding along a mossy piece of fallen tree you’ll find banana slugs, while foxes dart through the nooks and crannies of the lush forest. This forest is very much alive and you will see this in almost every step you take!
