2 nights at Strawberry Fields Forever

We appreciate Robin greeting us when we arrived. She explained the set up and handed us the warm (and tasty) quiche we ordered! We had a lovely view and took a walk to the beach. It was so close. Also, we received some good suggestions on where to hike and a couple of good restaurant recommendations. Thanks Robin, we had a great time!

1 night at Strawberry Fields Forever

Lovely spot, great communication and more amenities than expected. I would stay here several more days if I had time!

1 night at Strawberry Fields Forever

Our family of 6 + dog had a fantastic stay here. We didn't think we'd be able to book the night we wanted, but Robin was surprisingly accommodating and responsive. She set up a picnic table, chairs, and a wood fire ahead of our arrival, which lasted us over three hours in the evening. The property has sweeping views over strawberry fields. We spent a long afternoon at Manresa State Beach, which is just a short walk away. The sites are spread out well with plenty of space. In short: very friendly and responsive host, great views, and rare proximity to a dog-friendly beach. We can't wait to return.

We stayed at the site with with gorgeous view of the valley. Site was pretty level and offered great privacy and quiet. Short walk to a beautiful beach and close enough to Capitola and Santa Cruz for side excursions. Hosts were great. We will return in the future.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Fields Forever

Robin and Ray were great hosts! We arrived later than planned and Ray came out with a smile and a welcome. He brought us eggs we had purchased and told us of some good restaurants and hiking in the area. Robin was out of town and was very responsive to all of our messaging questions. She made great recommendations for hikes as well. The beach is very close and we loved taking our dog down there for a walk at sunset. We hope to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Beach RV Pleasure Point

the site was perfect, staff friendly, and great location.

3 nights at Strawberry Fields Forever

What a lovely getaway. Beautiful views of the strawberry fields, The 20Amp of electricity was just enough. The fresh eggs were a wonderful way to start the day. I was in my brand new rig and had several projects underway. Ken was super helpful. He gave me full access to his tools! That’s an outstanding host. We enjoyed chatting about his time in Evergreen raising his kids.

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

Beautiful hip camp with amazing amenities. Loved the showers and scrubs and soaps! Plenty of firewood, fire pits, games, and serene space.

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

We had a fantastic stay at Whiskey Hill Barn! Our group of 30 (plus a few dogs and kids in the mix) felt completely at home here. Dawn and her husband were incredibly kind and responsive—every little detail felt thoughtful and intentional. The outdoor hot shower was an absolute dream after a day of exploring, and we were so touched by the s’mores supplies they left out for us. It made for such a cozy evening around the fire. The site struck the perfect balance between glamping and camping: all the charm of the outdoors with just the right amount of comfort and ease. Everything we needed was easy to find, clean, and ready to go. Couldn’t have asked for a better setup for our big crew. Truly chef’s kiss all around—we’re already talking about coming back!

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

Our experience was top notch. My 2 kids (8 and 10yo), pup, and I absolutely had a blast. We came during my kids spring break so the dates were pretty much set in stone... We don't control the weather and it rained a bit (early April). We tented and the weather hit only at night. We camped at the barn/oak grove site and it was amazing. There's a little overhang from the barn which gave us a little bit of reprieve during the minimal day time sprinkles. Dawn and Sven have it dialed in. There is a fire pit and a wood stove to keep everyone warm at night. We set up camp on the hill, toward the oak tree. Fun things about their spot... 30 minute drive to tons of activities, very clean and well kept, table tennis for a lot of fun, the cleanest portapot, a great hot shower, tons of space, and the best thing, Luna, the camp dog. She is the sweetest pup that absolutely loves a little love and also is not intrusive in any way. Luna and Randi (our canine companion in life) ripped around and had a blast together. We may come back just for that. We would live there if we could and highly recommend their little slice of pie that is a nice mix of camping/glamping/fun. We hope everyone that visits makes the most of it and finds the joy that we found. Much love to all...

2 nights at Strawberry Fields Forever

Robin and Ray are amazing people who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The RV spots are level and easily accesible. There is a grass/hay field across the street that we were able to walk the dogs off leashs, and the beach is truly an 8 minute walk away. Overall a great basecamp for your adventures.

Weekend Trip to Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

We will definitely be back! Thank you Dawn for an amazing evening!

1 night at San Juan Bautista Dog Friendly

There was enough space to park and comfortably camp in our 15’ trailer while our dog wandered the property. It was a great evening and there was a nice, clean bathroom to use. We were able to say hi to the horse and donkey in the morning while we cooked breakfast. Super friendly host.

2 nights at Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

The entire set up was awesome! Dawn and her husband were very nice and really responsive. The landscaping is pretty and the barn is picturesque. Definitely a cool place to rent out if you are traveling in a big group. And of course you can't forget about sweet Luna, the family dog that cruises around vicinity. So cute!

1 night at Beach RV Pleasure Point

We loved the location! We took advantage of the location in the morning and walked to Verve coffee and then the amazing coastal neighborhoods! Hosts were attentive and gave great dinner and restaurant recommendations!. Super close to beach and the boardwalk!

1 night at Whiskey Hill Barn and Camp

Whiskey Barn is a wonderful, thoughtfully appointed space. Dawn is a great host, and provided a very warm welcome. The fire pit was cozy with enough chairs for a large group, and the gardens are beautiful. All in all, a very nice place to land for our trip! The barn is close to the road, so you get some traffic noise, but the location is incredibly peaceful and very close to the beach.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Fields Forever

Ray and Robin's place is a great spot if you need a quick and easy place to land for an evening. They are amazing hosts and both stopped by to check in on us and chat with our littles. The complementary firewood and loaner beach toys were a huge hit with our kids. The location is super convenient to town and to the beach. Just don't mistake it for a secluded location as those aren't close to town or the beach ;) As shown in the photos, the sites are a few feet from the road which means it's critical for dogs to be on leash and kids to be very aware that there is traffic on the other side of the trees. We didn't notice the road at all at night.

We offer three campsites, two have fantastic, unobstructed views of the three hundred acres of strawberry fields that back up to our property. Our campsites provide water and electric hookups and are only appropriate for self-contained recreational vehicles and trailers. One of the sites has no size constraints on RVs or trailers. We have plenty of room for a second vehicle. We do offer a port-a potty, but not sinks or showers. We do not accommodate on the ground tent camping or in your car camping. The Valley View site is very quiet as it is farthest from the road, and is the most private. The Gateway site is near the road and does not have a view of the strawberry fields, but guests who are just looking for a quick stop over or base camp love it. The Strawberry and Surf site has no size restrictions and it backs up to San Andreas Rd. All site are walking distance to Manresa State Beach. We love to host guests and will provide information about things to do and see in our area. We often loan our State Parks pass so that you can venture out to Point Lobos, Wilder Ranch, Sunset Beach, Natural Bridges and more. Each camp site includes a fire pit and a generous wagon of wood. Two camp chairs and a picnic table are included as well. We also offer farm fresh eggs, baked goods and other treats (see our Extras).
