Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) protects open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all.
Situated on top of a ridge with expansive redwood forest and coastal views, the Audrey Edna Cabin provides a completely private gathering place and destination for visitors with reservations. The cabin has spectacular views of forest, sky, ocean and the Butano ridgeline. It's a short hike to 8000+ acres of county parkland where you can hike, bike and ride horses (though please note, there are no facilities for horse boarding at the cabin.) The cabin is located at Alpine Ranch, a property adjacent to Sam McDonald County Park that was protected by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST).
Whether you are looking for an active experience or just want to relax in a peaceful, remote setting, there's something here for everyone.
This is a rustic hike-in cabin designed for a introductory pack-in experience. Bedding is not provided. It is about a 1.7-mile hike on a rolling dirt road from the Sam McDonald County Park parking lot, with about 650 feet of elevation gain. Most hikers can reach the cabin in an hour or less. Guests should plan to arrive at least 2 hours before sunset, and pack water and flashlights or headlamps. Guests with limited mobility, please contact us for information regarding accommodations that will allow you to access this shared resource.
*A note about reservation availability: On the weekends, POST offers priority reservations for the cabin to our partners at the San Mateo County Health Department and Park Rx to provide patients with equitable access to the benefits of nature. Occasionally, we have last-minute public weekend reservation availability due to cancellations. The cabin is reservable up to 3 months in advance, on a rolling basis.
Love the idea of a hike-in cabin, but unable to visit us Sunday-Thursday? Check out the nearby Sierra Club Hiker's Hut in Sam McDonald County Park.
Property History:
At one time, the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains was a thriving center for trade between tribes of the coast and the bay, which we still find evidence of today in cultural sites and artifacts throughout the region. Native people have cared for this land since time immemorial, including the local Muwekma and Ramaytush Ohlone who are still active in the area today. This property specifically is host to a tributary to one of just a handful of waterways that support salmonids in this region, which are a species of tremendous importance to native people.
Over 1000 acres here were eventually purchased by entrepreneur Ridgeway Rowley, who built a home on the ranch in the 1880s as part of an unsuccessful wedding proposal to Fannie Page, daughter of a local mill owner (ever heard of Page Mill Road?) After being rejected by Fannie, Rowley operated the ranch for a decade in conjunction with his work as District Attorney and publisher of the Palo Alto Weekly, before eventually returning to his hometown of Cortland, NY, where he lived as a bachelor until his death. Over the course of the 20th century, the ranch was divided, some parts of which became Pescadero Creek County Park. POST purchased the 350 acre home property, now called Alpine Ranch, in 2012 through our Heart of the Redwoods campaign, an initiative to protect 20,000 acres of Redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Alpine Ranch borders Pescadero Creek County Park and Sam McDonald County Park, adding to the area’s protected open space and containing more than a mile of tributaries to Pescadero Creek, which flows year-round and is a major spawning stream for steelhead trout.
The Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch is situated at one of the property's most scenic overlooks. The cabin was built in the early 1900's, and completely reconstructed up to modern building codes by POST in 2018 so that all could enjoy this special place.

Blooming Echo is a very private, beautifully wooded and wild land. She has huge trees and a big sunny meadow where we grow our corn. We have a dome for ceremonies and chilling, an outdoor kitchen, two compost toilets, a big swing, and a slack line. Lots of land to walk and explore, many many wild and native medicinal herbs. This property is totally off grid. You can track wild boar, deer, wild turkeys and mountain lions, and listen to hermit thrush sing in the morning, hawks call during the day and owls hoot at night.

This 60 acre property is located approximately 3 miles east of San Gregorio Beach in the San Gregorio area. There is no home here, only a travel trailer on the upper level. It is very peaceful, quiet and beautiful throughout the seasons.
We are 5 minutes away from the San Gregorio General Store and cafe and 20 minutes from Alice's Restaurant. We have great cell coverage for Verizon.
There are three campsites, each with easy 4WD access. Two of the sites offer total isolation with amazing views while the third site, while in a nice setting, is more useful for a quick overnight stay with no views of the ocean or canyon. Please note that five easy-going cows (no bulls) reside on this property.

Beautiful view from the quiet camping spot. Picnic table and porta potty. Dog friendly. There is only one big camp spot. Quiet and private. Four miles to hwy. 1 and the beaches. Close to Open Space trails. 20 Minutes to historic little town of Half Moon Bay. 30 Minutes to the harbor. Fresh fish, fresh local vegetables for sale. Moderate temperatures at 700 feet, sunny skies cooled by the marine layer below. 15 minutes from the campsite to an eclectic British Pub that is dog friendly. The beach south of the harbor and surfer's beach is a flat beach where all dogs go off leash. It is near the Miramar Restaurant where they have a dog friendly patio with firepits.

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.

2 nights at Stunning Treehouse & Cabin
I’ve always wanted to stay in a treehouse that was truly a treehouse masterpiece experience. I must admit that the views by themselves was reason enough to stay on this land. Being able to hike in redwood forest and go to a beautiful beach which was very private and on top of that spending quality time with our daughter who moved to Berkeley made for a perfect setting and start of our vacation. The combination of the old structures on the property, staying in a very comfortable clean treehouse with a gathering cabin as the lower structure which has magnificent vista views, quiet surroundings, wonderful amenities and to be able to go to sleep in the treehouse looking out multiple skylights and windows was a bucket list item that I loved.
Highly recommend for all❤️

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.

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!

As others mentioned, the road up the mountain was very bumpy, and took me an extra 15 minutes as I was worried for my rental car, but it was doable. Instructions were clear and I was able to find my campsite without issue even in the dark. The view was beautiful, just as described, and the site was secluded and spacious.
