Michael was great at helping me navigate my adventure. The stay was great and relaxing. The nearby reservoir was an easy drive for a morning of fishing and the property was quiet and relaxing. The steep entry was no joke, but was no issue in a 2025 Subaru Outback wilderness. I would not recommend in a RWD/FWD coupe

Great views from the campsite! As described in the site post, the approach up to the site does require a 4x4. The outdoor shower and toilet were much appreciated, along with the zip lines and swings for the kids.

The most beautiful spot that puts you above all of Sonoma. Breathtaking views whether it is the morning fog rolling in or the lights of the multiple cities you are above. Windy roads lead up to the property. Proceed with caution as spotted deer at all times of the day. Cannot wait to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The campsite is spacious, private, and wonderfully quiet — exactly what we were looking for. Our anxious dog actually slept better here than at any other campsite we’ve been to, which says a lot. He didn’t wake up every few minutes to check the surroundings; he was completely at peace.
A couple of things to note: the kitchen area could use a bit of attention. Also, make sure to arrive before dark. The driveway is very steep, but my 2WD was able to make it with careful driving.
Overall, a beautiful and peaceful spot, and we would definitely come back!

Great stay! The host provided clear and accurate info for accessing the property and using all the amenities. This is an excellent spot for families, swings, zip line, ropes, beautiful views, fire pits, BBQ, lounge chairs, and picnic tables. The place is spacious and peaceful. Just note that a 4x4 vehicle is definitely needed to get there. Would stay again!

Camp Jaron is a very quiet spot close to downtown Los Gatos. Pros: Hot shower, composting toilet, and mostly private (The neighbor's house has a direct line of sight on the main campsite area — further down the hill is more private) Neutral: Rough road to access property, 4x4/clearance required as described. Cons: Limited level ground for parking rig, I had to park directly under large branches which I try to avoid whenever possible, would recommend packing leveling blocks. Limited level & cleared space for tents — Expect overgrowth / leaves / mulch / poison oak.

My 11 year old decided he wanted a camping birthday, and this was an amazing place for kids around his age! They loved the trampoline, swings, slackline, and having plenty of wood for the firepit. The parents loved the convenience of the outdoor kitchen with warm water, and the flexibility in where to pitch tents. The hosts and friends were great. The woods were beautiful, and when it got hot midday we were very happy driving to a swimming hole nearby. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful spot with a huge amount of space and land to explore. It needed some attention when we got there... It felt pretty disheveled with old rags around the kitchen, the outdoor carpets were buried, everything had a thick layer of dust on it and the ping pong table seemed hopelessly askew. But we spent our first morning straightening things up and then had a lovely time. The main camp is next to the road that goes up the top part of the property and, when we were there, the folks that live on site went up and down it (by foot and by truck) a fair amount. They are lovely folks so we enjoyed chatting with them a bit, but just noting if you are looking for something completely private (this is also noted in the description). Very unusual to be able to be on 70 acres of beautiful land where your dog can be off leash and be free. We didn't see much wildlife in our short stay but you can tell it's all around you (foxes, boar, etc). so, after a bit of a bit of a rocky start, we really enjoyed our stay and will likely return.

This place was so perfect for our large friend/family reunion. The kids had the best time on the ropes course and we created amazing memories. There was a lot of poison oak, so we made sure the kids wore long socks and stayed on the paths. 2wd cars were fine! We would love to book this site again!

Great spot for our two rig family camp trip!
We loved the outdoor kitchen, kids played for hours on the trampoline and rainbow swing, enjoyed exploring, and relaxing in the dome area/reading on the deck.
Convenient to have a later check out— thank you! Hosts were great, setting was lovely.
Ps. Steep arrival driveway, but in a low gear our loaded up Sprinter van was a-ok.
Note to be aware of, and easier arrival in day-light!

Had a great stay with a group of 9 with 3 dogs. The kitchen had more equipment than we could have used and the shade was a lifesaver with the weekend heatwave. The property managers were around a few times throughout the weekend but it felt very private except for that. Communication with Rebecca was prompt, instructions were clear and we took advantage of the tip to check out the Junction Park swim hole. Would definitely stay here again!

The property is awesome! I’ve stayed there several times now and the charm keeps me coming back! I also find new things to fall in love with each time I’m there. The outdoor shower is by far my favorite part of the property, it’s worth the dive alone! Not to mention my dogs can run around and have plenty of room to enjoy themselves. The outdoor kitchen has everything a hip camper could need this last time. I got to meet Rebecca and she was so kind! I’d book this place every night if I could!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The land is beautiful and secluded. The camping spot is enormous and peaceful, and the outdoor kitchen is an added perk. I highly recommend this opportunity. And if you are lucky enough to have the chance to stay here, Jake is the coolest guy on the planet.
