When we arrived, we weren't quite sure what to expect as there was a party going on and lots of cars but we met with friends of the owners who were very nice and said the party was over at 5. In all fairness we reserved a site that morning. At 5:00 all was quite and lovely. The winery and outdoor area is very charming. We notice that it looks like in the near future there will be 5 RV sites with power and sewer. We are self contained so didn't need any amenities for the night. I would definitely come back and stay either as a destination or stopover on our way through. I took some lovely pictures I'd love to forward to you.

Weekend Trip to Airstream Glamping in Santa Cruz
Great lodging. Cozy and fun. Andrew and his family super friendly. Great communication. The complimentary snacks and drinks were above and beyond what you find in any Airbnb!
Didn’t use the firepit but looks inviting.

Weekend Trip to Airstream Glamping in Santa Cruz
I decided to try out this little Airstream as an alternative to a hotel during my recent trip returning my younger back up to UCSC. I think it was an excellent decision. Although I had almost no time to enjoy quiet time reading a book or hanging out, I still appreciated the convenience and comfort of the Airstream.
The location is an incredibly easy on and off of the 1. The neighborhood is a pretty typical neighborhood with different age classes of families and individuals. On street parking for vehicle number two was easy and having a designated spot in the driveway was great.
I loved the welcome and friendliness of Andrew and his family. I never felt uncomfortable or limited, just welcome to come and go as I felt and to strike up a conversation or not. The dogs were equally welcoming and very well behaved. The yard is a delight of raised gardens with sages and cosmos blooming, even at the end of the summer. I loved relaxing by the fire pit even if the unseasonably mid-90's degree weather made the thought of a fire too hot to bear. As a woman traveler, I felt safe here, from parking late at night and throughout the night. I rarely feel that same security at a hotel.
At 5 foot 8 inches I could stand in the shower, had to bend my head to get all the way under the shower head and some elbows hit the sides but that's not a deal breaker. It's a small RV but it was cozy and for two people it was a nice fit. Finding some snacks and drinks in the fridge was a nice welcome.

Great location and personnel was very friendly. It's a small spot and RVs are tight together but felt safe. Nice to walk to cafes and the beach from site. Would stay and recommend.

4 nights at Airstream Glamping in Santa Cruz
We had a great stay! Andy was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Very good location, super cute backyard, quick to respond to messages, and the Airstream had everything we needed, including a great array of snacks and drinks! Would definitely stay there again next time we are up in Santa Cruz!

Spot is located only a mile from a great surf spot, clean facilities, nice hot shower, and management is extremely kind. They even came out and moved us to a spot that gave us more room and was nicer.
We will stay here again next time we are in Santa Cruz.

We showed up and Kelly greeted us. She didn't see us on her list of guests that were supposed to be there that day. She didn't see us because we came a whole week late! Totally my mistake. I'll call it a stupid attack. She checked her records and found us to be there a week earlier. She quickly said everything was good to go and have a good time. Thank you again Kelly for being so kind and professional about it. From now on, I'll pay more attention to my calendar!

Great location and easy to find. Used to live in Santa Cruz and passed by where this is now many times. Convenient to get pretty much anywhere in the area for food, entertainment, surfing, etc.. Smaller spaces but several larger rVs parked just fine. I had a 16.5’ campervan and plenty of room. Two bathroom stalls and a private nice hot shower available as well! Full hook ups, which were convenient as I was in an electric vehicle! There were some other open spots which I would’ve preferred to the one that they put me in – but it was no big deal and I’m sure if I asked when I got there they would have. One of those hidden gem places to stay in Santa Cruz other than the always booked state parks! Pet friendly too! We’ll be back again!

We loved our stay here! Our highlight - this place is just a quick walk away from the beach!!! We had some lovely walks along the coastline during our stay that were just magical. It's also close to groceries & the main areas of town!
The campground is clean, well kept, has sweet & friendly hosts. The bathrooms were great, showers are hot and it was well kept. There is a cute little hangout spot around the back that has a gas fire pit which is a nice addition. Overall a 10/10 stay if you're looking for a camper/van/rv spot on the coastline!

The location is terrific, very close to the beach. The spaces are pretty snug, and the sewer connection is close to the front of the back-in space, so we had to pull our trailer up close to the front for the hose to reach. Not a lot of parking spaces for our truck, but it worked out fine. It backs up to a big natural area and is quiet.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Staying in Andy and Tricia’s Airstream was like slipping into a luxuriously creamy, steel-wrapped hug. From the moment we arrived for our daughter’s UCSC graduation, we felt completely taken care of. These hosts have truly thought of everything—from blackout curtains and cloud-soft bedding to eco-chic Turkish towels. After the long drive up from Los Angeles, the thoughtfully stocked snack hamper and fridge was a welcome sight. They even had spare toothbrushes for us when we realized we’d forgotten ours. The kitchen is brilliantly appointed while the fire pit setup is next-level, complete with a dome, retractable prongs, and a s’mores box that would make any scout proud. Morning Nespresso? Check. Yeti tumblers? Nesting and delightful. Wi-Fi? Fast and reliable. Forgot your charger? They’ve got a spare. But what really makes this place shine is the heart behind it: an intergenerational family on the property, full of warmth, stories, and local know-how. We bonded over bikes and globe-trotting, and swooned over the handmade pottery by Andy's mum Cathy, who lives just out back. The three dogs and tabby cat are charming scene-stealers, always nearby if you’re up for a cuddle—or happy to let you be. For parents visiting UCSC (or anyone craving a slice of seriously stylish, soulful glamping), this place is a gem. We didn’t want to leave—and already are daydreaming about our return.
