Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Magical 6 acre permaculture ranch just a few minutes to town, beaches and restaurants. Take a bath under a clear night sky, enjoy the morning birdsong and take a stroll on or off the property. We have free ranging chickens, a hidden spring surrounded by two creeks and wild plums. Happy Valley is a secret little gem of Santa Cruz. Plenty of space for relaxing, and amazing location for both convenience and adventures. (2 of the 3 sites have the tubs please read individual descriptions to find out if the one you chose has one)

Campsite with Soaking Tub - Site 1
Gorgeous and perfect location!
The space was amazing and absolutely perfect for what we needed. It is close to town and the Mystery Spot, yet quiet, peaceful, beautiful and secluded. We were able to take hot showers and baths under the stars, the sites are as level as you can get for a tent (yay! no sliding around), the spots are big. There is running water and potable water available (huge bonus), and a porta potty which was clean and well maintained. The hosts were friendly and always responsive to our needs without being overbearing. My kids got to run around and feed the chickens and everyone had an amazing trip. Waking up and seeing the steam dissipate through the redwoods is one of my favorite things. We loved our time there and can’t wait to go back!

Campsite with Soaking Tub - Site 1
It was a wonderful stay! Everything went smoothly and it was a great space. 15-20 minutes from the redwoods and the beach, so perfect location. The only downside was the hot water in the shower -- didn't quite work so it was quite a chilly (and quick) rinse! Overall amazing and would stay again though. :)

The site was amazing, it was far enough from the city to feel detattched from it, yet you could take a 15 minute drive and be at the beach or boardwalk. The hot water was not working very well at our site, but she was able to accommodate us with another tub with warm water which was very generous, she also allowed us to use her cutting board and knife during our stay. Overall a very beautiful and welcoming campsite that my group and I enjoyed very much.
