Amazing symphony of nature and animals. 100% recommend this place if you want to reset your circadian rhythms. Me and my daughters slept like a log among many trees and orchestra of owls and turkey and birds singing in the night. Thanks Shelly for sharing such a nice glamping site with us!!

Weekend Trip to Santa Cruz Mountain Camping
The sunset looked so beautiful and once it got dark, the stars were so nice to look at. The bed was comfortable and we were able to stay warm throughout the night. It was a plus for me that there was already lanterns lighting up the area + a picnic table.
Thank you Shelly for being so kind and having a beautiful place to share!

We loved Tent 01 and the shared spaces at Sana's and William's place. They've set up a really impressive and comfortable site on the side of the mountain where I think most people would not have had the vision they've now created into being. We've stayed at many canvas tents and none have had the touches and details that Fancy Camp has to make you comfortable. The bed and pillows were more comfortable than many hotels; everything was extremely clean and well kept; the bathrooms have actual plumbing; I thought I'd take a short "cold plunge" in the shower while it heated up but it ran hot in seconds; delicious coffee and fresh eggs; waffle towels; string lights everywhere including some in the shape of a heart on one of the trees; cutest linens, cutlery and furniture. We had an amazing bonfire at sunset overlooking the ocean and loved the visits by their dogs and goats. Lots of bugs outside in the warmer months (can't do anything about that!) but we barely had any come into the tent during our stay. Their place is also so easy to get to and very close to all cities so kind of a no brainer! Only tip would be to pack light as they suggest -- we brought some of our usual camping stuff but left 90% of if in the car. The tents are also stair climbs up and down the side of a mountain so it'll be a workout if you bring too much.

3 nights at Santa Cruz Mountains Staycation
Driving up to Chemeketa Park felt like a trip back in time. Growing up in Cupertino and spending weekends in Santa Cruz, the scent of the redwoods and the winding mountain roads immediately brought back fond childhood memories. Instead of the sterile environment of a San Jose hotel, I spent my evenings watching the sunset—a quiet, powerful way to reminisce.
What makes this spot special are the details. I spent my mornings making drip coffee (using some great Japanese blends I brought along) and enjoying the stillness of the mountain air.
As a Boy Scout leader, I always live by the Leave No Trace principles, and this site makes it easy to be a respectful guest. The unit is clean, the Wi-Fi is reliable for those who need to stay connected, and the hosts are just a text away if you need anything.
Final Verdict: Whether you’re a local looking to reconnect with the landscape or a professional tired of the "business-casual" hotel life, this Airstream is a gem. I’m already planning my next stay.

The Ranch at Cross Road is amazing! Beautiful and flat campsites, gorgeous views, and really easy to access. This was a really quiet and dark spot, we got such good sleep. Matt was a great host, great and clear communication. We arrived later at night and everything was perfect 👌 Thanks Matt!

Great place to spend the night with family. Beautiful night views and sunset views. The road to getting there is a one way lane and very narrow so keep that in mind. It gets very windy also. They have a large tennis court u can play in. The domes are pretty cool and also have some chicken in the back of the hills u can check out. Hot showers and toilet available there’s bbq equipment u can use too.

This is a great site to relax- beautiful sunsets, quiet and not too far from a super cool general store with live music! This is basically a meadow where there are a couple other longer-term sets ups along the edge but they’re a good distance away and we didn’t really notice them except the occasional car coming/going. Art was great and very helpful showing us our site. We’ll be back for sure!

This site is very private, beautifully situated in a gnarly oak forest. We loved camping there, as did our golden retrievers. Art was very hospitable, friendly and helpful. If you like primitive camping, no toilets, showers, fire rings, picnic benches, etc., just you and natural beauty, I'd highly recommend this site!

Everything was so convenient! Gas tank for the BBQ grill was ready, tools for grill, tables and benches, etc. The entrace ramp is indeed steeper than I thought, but it wasn't a problem with an Outback (didn't scratch bottom).
Definitely recommended!

We stayed two nights at the Ridge campsite, and it was heavenly. It was just as advertised: gorgeous views in all directions including sunsets over the Pacific, total privacy, quiet and dark at night. This time of year (March), everything is so green and the cows dot the nearby hillsides. Art was a delightful host, and our dog loved sniffing and exploring the grounds. We'll be back!
