Weekend Trip to Grey Oaks

I really liked the experience camping at Zak’s campsite. It was clean, well maintained and had all the amenities as described. The popcorn pot and popcorn were a fun touch. The location is conveniently located to a gas station but also very cozily tucked away such that you feel like you’re in wilderness similar to being in a state or national park. I would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Grey Oaks

Peaceful and serene spot amongst the beautiful oak trees. Delicious water and lovely experience.

Weekend Trip to Grey Oaks

This is a nice campsite that feels secluded (even thought it's less than 30 seconds off the Aromas rd.) The site has almost everything you need for bbq and cooking and it is still nice and quiet. Zak and family is very courteous, was there on time to pick us up and showed everything. Would come again. Watch out the for the poison oaks if you have little kids who like to run around into the woods.

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

Beautiful location and Doug and Denise were very friendly and kind. Hope to return again soon.

1 night at Nearby Getaway - Dogs Welcome!

Rustic ranch with horses and burros . Nice and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Grey Oaks

Beautiful shade trees and peaceful setting. Lots of nice touches/extras like firewood, starters, popcorn maker, etc. Everything as advertised.

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

Doug and Denise are very friendly and helpful. The space is very private but not very shaded during the day (we stayed in June) so definitely rent the pop-up tent or bring your own.

This is easily one of my all-time fave Hipcamps. Tucked away in a forest with a private creek, it doesn’t get much better. The property spans about 40 acres of beautiful, wooded land that made us feel like we were deep in the backcountry—yet it's easy to get to and not too far from Santa Cruz proper (the hosts provided impeccable directions prior to our arrival). The creek was the perfect place to relax and recharge. Once our hosts showed us to our site, we didn’t see or hear another soul—just how we like it when we camp. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to share their stunning piece of land with us. Tip: They aren't exaggerating when they say their water is delicious--make sure to get some!

1 night at Paradise Valley Cattle Company

A very sweet overnight camping experience. Very quiet despite being in a neighborhood. The little cow was adorable and his mooing was quiet and infrequent. This IS in a neighborhood, within sight of homes so if you're looking for something totally secluded this isn't it, but I found the stay very relaxing/easy.

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

Really great hospitality - kids loved meeting and feeding the animals. The trek to the creek was steep, but the kids loved it (ages 4-8). Lovely, quiet site with sounds of the running creek and nothing else around. FYI no wood fires in summer, but they did provide a propane fire pit as an alternative. Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

This is a super convenient place to get away from it all...but also be 15 min away from Davenport and their convenience store and shops (as well as the coastal beaches). There is lots of space and sun in the meadow spot, and we walked past the creek spot on our hike down to the beautiful creek. The creek was a great place to be able to walk to during the hottest part of the day. Choose the creek site if you really want to camp and just be away from everything (the drive to it would be a mini adventure). Choose the meadow if you want to get in and out easily. It also has some great trees for hanging your hammocks. The whole experience was peaceful and the perfect weekend of camping. Obviously you have to appreciate a camp in/camp out experience (including your own poo), but Doug and Denise made it as easy and convenient as they can. Highly recommend having or renting from them the propane pit during the summer no-burn months.

3 nights at Nearby Getaway - Dogs Welcome!

My pups and I had a wonderful time! Nancy was so sweet and welcoming getting us settled in. The spot is comfortable and quiet with excellent amenities and plenty of space to spread out and relax. My pups ran around and had a great time chasing ground squirrels. They loved it so much I had to convince them to go to bed at night! Nancy also sent us lists she made of recommendations for parks and beaches they would enjoy! We will definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Ranch with Sweeping View

Great place to stay! Lots of activities, peaceful at night, wonderful hosts, and breathtaking views! Easy to get to as long as you have Apple Maps.

Weekend Trip to Paradise Valley Cattle Company

This campsite was fantastic. My 35 foot class A motorhome fit with room to spare and the space was easy to back into. Brian is a fantastic host and my family loved camping next to the cow.

Weekend Trip to Grey Oaks

We had a great stay! Our campsite was spacious enough for two tents for our family of five—with room to spare. It’s conveniently located near the restrooms and sink area, but still far enough away to feel private and peaceful. Zak was amazing—super attentive and on top of everything. Our kids especially loved visiting the horses and feeding the fish and turtle. We would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

We loved staying at Redwood landing! It gets very sunny during the day, so our canopy came in handy. Each morning was beautifully foggy and cool, and there was a really nice breeze in the afternoons. The redwoods are beautiful all around the site. It’s close to the beach so we took day trips there. Doug and Denise were excellent hosts. Our dog had a blast (but watch out for poison oak and ticks). Definitely recommend this wonderful private campsite!

Really pretty sites. We had it to our selves. It felt pretty secluded but you could hear cars going by on the road. It wasn't too distracting though. They had just about everything we needed. There's a lot of mention about poison oak. Super easy to avoid unless you have kids that are at an age that wander. The numbered sites are almost level. I could have used some leveling blocks as we were staying in our van. I was able to scavenge up a couple pieces of 2x that pretty much got me there. The lettered sites were a bit more of camber. Hosts were very polite.

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

Met all expectations of tranquility and privacy. Nice flat campsite with the sound of the nearby creek. Doug was great, helped us to our site and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and return.

Weekend Trip to BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

We loved camping at Banks Ranch. Doug and Denise were such wonderful couple and they sincerely welcomed us to their ranch. We got to meet the animals. Our kids loved feeding them and we got eggs as well. Our walk down the creek was beautiful too. Make sure you take screenshots of the direction cause you may no have service down there. The family with us were first time campers and they loved this place. Highly recommend this place.

2 nights at BANKS RANCH IN THE REDWOODS

The campsite was great! Super clean and private. Denise was very friendly upon arrival.
