2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

We loved Fern Ridge Flats! Matt 's communication, attention to detail, and warmth were beyond terrific! The area was super clean, exactly as advertised, and super convenient for our 2 days of hiking in The Forest of Nisene Marks and one day at Wilder Ranch State Park. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much!

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Great spot on private land with gorgeous views! Very secluded even though you are just behind the host's house. Are kids were just old enough (3.5 and 5.5) but any younger would have a hard time staying out of the poison oak and away from the steep hills. Matt was very thoughtful with the amenities that make this spot so easy and comfortable - toilet, spigot, gas fire pit. It's a very peaceful spot bursting with nature that is soothing on both the eyes and ears. So easy to get into town and have a beach day, then come back to camp in the redwoods.

Weekend Trip to Windsor Family Farm

Absolutely a fantastic experience for all of us! Especially my 2 years old son! We had such a great time playing with animals, playing with all the toys! Kim was absolutely the perfect host and super super nice! Everything was so clean and well maintained and the hot breakfast DELICIOUS! We will come back for sure!

3 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

I loved my stay at fern flats! I got the most amazing sleep, the birds provided beautiful music and it was absolutely quiet at night. I would definitely return. There was construction noise in the mornings though which Matt had zero control over. Hopefully the construction noise will be gone soon. The bottom line is that this place was great!

Weekend Trip to Silicon Valley View

Beautiful spot with a killer view! Always love coming back here for a long weekend.

Weekend Trip to Shiima koh

We went camping a bit south of Santa Cruz and ended up at Ani’s place — honestly such a gem. Bradley was the one who greeted us, and right away you could tell he was just super chill and genuine. The kind of host that makes you feel like you’ve known him for a while. The animals were everywhere, and it was the best part — goats, baby goats jumping around, guinea pigs making their little sounds, chickens, turkeys, dogs and cats doing their own thing, and even this 50-year-old tortoise just slowly vibing through life. It all just felt alive and peaceful. If you’ve been feeling stuck in city mode and just want to breathe again — go here. Alone or with someone, it’s one of those places that helps you feel human again. Many blessings 🙏💎

2 nights at Shiima koh

I loved camping here. Quiet and nothing but aura. The vibe of the animals were awesome. Quick drive to Santa Cruz to find awesome surf. And tons of amazing food in either direction north or south. Awd recommended. Would stay here again. My girlfriend loved it too

1 night at #2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop

I liked Cynthia's land because it was right off the highway. I stayed during the week which was relatively quiet. I awoke and left early in the morning.

1 night at #2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop

Good spot, very convenient to Half Moon Bay area. The location was easy to find and very clean. As advertised there is road noise but it was not unexpected. Plenty of birds singing and roosters crowing to enjoy listening to. Porta Potty was clean and well stocked. We initially pulled in about 2:30 and lounged for a bit, enjoying the empty site before heading to the beach and then dinner and some music in HMB. We made it back to camp about 10:00 and 2 other vehicles were there with tents set up, plenty of room for all of us. Our neighbors left bright and early, a very quiet departure. We prepared coffee and breakfast as we soaked up the sunshine. The wild flowers were bountiful as a red tailed hawk glided above us. Overall it was a great stop along Hwy 1 and we look forward to visiting again.

1 night at Shiima koh

We had a wonderful stay! perfect place to pitch a tent for a night or two— wonderful location and lovely hosts. So many beautiful and sweet animals.

1 night at Amaya Creek Redwood Campground

Super quiet, had bathrooms so that was nice. Drive was a little confusing at first but the message sent in the app directed us right to it. Overall great stay :)

1 night at #2 HMB Highway Overnight Rest Stop

Description is accurate. A mile walk to the beach. Hard to find - but it was a great spot.

2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

This is the perfect spot if you want all the nature without the people. It’s very private and there’s a small trail to follow in case you want to explore. It’s big enough for two people in one tent to camp comfortably. Otherwise, you could maybe fit one more person. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful.

10 nights at Patchen Christmas Tree Farm

The camp space is a descent size. I would say that the only down side to Patchen is that it’s always a lot of traffic. Cars are coming in and out throughout day and at night sometimes and be a of all the work going on on the site it’s loud. Other than that it’s a beautiful place Kelley is amazing. She came down to greet me and my husband the first day we came and left us to enjoy ourselves for the majority of the time. She came once more to check on us as we did stay for about three weeks. My cat actually went missing twice and both times I messaged her and she looked out for him. She called and told me she ran across my cat and she even went and bought cat food and water to keep him happy until we were able to come get him. She always responds to a message and she’s very laid back with a nice energy. I’d definitely stay again in the future. The place is awesome but having a very nice host that allows you to just enjoy yourself and not breathing down your neck the whole stay is even more inviting. The pine trees are so beautiful and smells amazing! The campsite is always clean and welcoming.

1 night at Hidden Spring Ranch

although I read the information for Patricia‘s place and the welcome packet noting that there were other properties and people on the property, I didn’t quite understand how many folks to expect on site until Patricia came out to meet me. Yes, there are other folks who live on site, as well as visitors who are booked for their other sites, and they all sure the outdoor kitchen, outhouse, and communal facilities. I felt more at ease when Patricia explained that to me, as I was traveling solo for this stay. I was a previous review had said, neighbors are pretty close to site one, and I ended up moving to site two instead—which I did like more because of space, the fire pit, and the little hut with string lights and a charging outlet inside. I did request a firewood, bundle and use it in the fire pit in site two. I had a little room in the fridge to store leftovers, and I didn’t stay long enough to walk around the property and use the tub but I did enjoy my camping experience here a lot. You can hear cars from the site, but I slept like a baby. I did wake up with the animals, a little after dawn and around sunrise. I’m an early riser so that didn’t bother me, but for those that like to sleep in then maybe some earplugs might help. Also, the location is close to town driving-wise and I appreciate all of the recommendations in the welcome packet. I’d be down to stay here again!

1 night at FEEL GOOD CAMP

this was a last minute booking and i’m happy i did. great little car camp spot. julie helped me back in when i arrived after 6. she had been in text communication with me all day about my arrival. it was nice. when i got there i took a hot shower, cooked a good dinner in the communal kitchen, talked to some of the other campers, enjoyed some of a shared campfire and then settled into my car. it was so quiet. quiet hours are enforced and the campers all respected it. it was so peaceful and was a beautiful morning wake up for an early start back to reality. definitely will return to stay in the glamping options!

1 night at Elkhorn Ranch

Norris and Roberta are the nicest hosts. Upon arrival, we messaged Roberta and she would answer right away. Norris greeted us at the gate, gave us a tour of the ranch and freedom to explore. I would definitely camp here again and would recommend it. All the animals on the farm were awesome

Weekend Trip to Silicon Valley View

We loved being at the top of the mountain, and the views of the valley were incredible. Site #1 had the most amazing view. No view from Site #2 but it was a very private camp site in the woods. We saw lots of birds. We appreciated the water spigot, the trash can and picnic table to make camping a bit easier. We drove the dirt roads from both sides to access the camping and the driving is very rough, not impassible, just slow going for our Subaru.

Weekend Trip to Silicon Valley View

10/10 Highly recommended for campers that enjoy being outdoors , views were phenomenal, host was very attentive and friendly with great recommendations to do around the camp. 🏕️⛰️🍪❤️

Zak was a wonderful host. He generously offered to drive our bags to the site and back. The campsite was beautiful. Our favorite part was the campfire area, which was equipped with firestarters, wood, a popcorn maker, and fire color changers. 10/10 would recommend

We have a garden and small orchard with nearly a dozen fruit trees of different kinds : loquat, a few apples, plums, apricot, peach, fig, persimmons and my favorite the pomegranate! We process everything ourselves using ancestral techniques and love to share and learn with others. Id say the main draw back here is the traffic noise but beyond that, We are quite lucky to have very a green and Id say an oasis of a property, with multiple large palms trees surrounding the pool area and a large weeping willow tree in the main yard/sheep pasture. At the NE corner of the property is a very large oak tree, it is majestic and with the tipi door open to the East the big oak is the first thing you'll see every morning besides the suns rays! The entire Northern property line is rowed with 60ft tall redwood trees and there are a smattering of citrus trees around to boot! The freezer is stocked with in house meat, the BBQ is hot, the pool is cool, come relax after a day on the trails!

If you like to be social and have bonfire and have a nice chat with fellow campers , this is the place for you.

Its a peaceful getaway with an abundance of bird varieties and occasional wild turkeys passing through. Take a stroll around our 5-acre property and catch a breathtaking sunset from the hillside.

Epic Views at Lago Lomita Vineyards

2 sites · Lodging44 acres · Los Gatos, CA

Our yurt and treehouse are located on Lago Lomita Vineyards with a view of the entire Monterey Bay. We've been hosting guests since 2015 and are looking forward to meeting you! Both our treehouse and yurt listings are unique experiences. They both are adjacent to the Tierra Madre Vineyard Block and have awesome views of the entire Monterey Bay/Pacific Ocean. We are located on 44 acres high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains but close to all the major beaches and Silicon Valley. Please be aware this is camping in nature, along with squirrels, spiders, falling leaves, etc. and nature is not always for everyone. There is a 45ft. ladder to climb to get into the treehouse. The view at sunset is spectacular. Featured on the first page of top Glamping destinations in California, in National Geographic's 50 States, 500 campgrounds. Both sites include a trunk of goodies: Complimentary trunk of goodies that is filled with muffins, mugs, creamer, sugar, coffee, croissants, cards, champagne & wine glasses & wine opener! We acquired the property in 1991, shortly after the Lexington Fire (1985) and Loma Prieta earthquake (1989). At that time, the entire property has degenerated into disrepair, and all the vineyards had been overwhelmed by the wilderness. In 2011, we started the herculean effort of clearing away the wilderness, resurrecting all the vineyards and renovating our home. In 2014, we started replanting the vineyards, and opened our tree house to visitors in 2015. Just like us, I think you will fall in love with this property, and enjoy every minute of your time here. We look forward to your stay. Robin and Mark

Audrey Edna Cabin at Alpine Ranch

1 site · Lodging350 acres · Loma Mar, CA

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.

Our new Primitive Adventures campsites are located on an established 5-star property. It’s a peaceful, secluded and private country estate. The 20 acre property starts out flat and then gentle to moderate sloped hillside with coast live oak trees, eucalyptus trees, pine trees, meadows, hiking trails and many interesting landscape features nestled between the vast farmlands North Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. We have a beautiful 45ft waterfall with a koi pond, too. Property faces a westerly direction so there are amazing sunset views depending on where you are on standing at the time on the property. We are 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The weather is usually mild here and we have cool evenings. We do get days that are in the 90s sometimes in the summer and early fall, but we also have lots of shade with all the trees, and a swimming pool to cool off in as well. There is wildlife like turkeys and owls and so much more (see our listing or our website). We have horses and hens, separate from the campsites, so no flies or smell from them. Hot showers, toilets, and swimming pool included. Forage the plentiful eucalyptus and oak firewood for free, or pre-cut pine is available for purchase.
