Camping on Zak's property was amazing. He and Kristen were friendly and responsive. I recommend paying the couple dollars to park on site instead of in the guest parking lot simply for convenience. Poison oak is all over the place, but they cleared out the main parts of the campsites really well, just don't go exploring in the woods. They did have a washing station and poison oak specific soap/scrub as well as some calamine which was great. Property is just far enough out that it feels private and not too far from town that you can't make a quick trip if needed. 10/10- would highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our quick visit to Zak's space. It was secluded and quiet at night so felt like we were far away from everything.
Zak was very quick to respond to any questions and made sure we had everything we needed.

This was such an incredible camping experience! Nancy is a wonderful host, and the property has more than you could ask for. Our kids loved the pets, the neighbors, and the property. It felt super safe, so our kids ran free the entire time. We never used the shower, but the toilet was fantastic, super clean, and fully functional. It was so great to have a fridge and propane fire with a large grill. We had everything we could ask for, plus Nancy seemed to be there precisely when we needed her, but gave us our space and privacy otherwise. It was a magical experience for our group of 10. I couldn’t recommend it enough. You could stay on the property for a full weekend and never run out of things to do. Check out the nearby farm stands and say hi to the neighbors, because they are all really lovely.

The location is terrific, very close to the beach. The spaces are pretty snug, and the sewer connection is close to the front of the back-in space, so we had to pull our trailer up close to the front for the hose to reach. Not a lot of parking spaces for our truck, but it worked out fine. It backs up to a big natural area and is quiet.

Beautiful coastal views right across the street, the camp isn’t very big so it was nice and quite, felt very safe and the owner Alex was very accommodating.

We stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing. Very relaxed and calming experience. I appreciate that there were only 4 sites and is not crowded. I enjoyed the view and the coziness of the place. Perfect getaway from my busy schedule. Enjoyed quality time with my family. I suggested this place to my friends and they are highly considering checking this location out.

2 nights at Dreamy California Coast Airstreams
Absolutely stunning view! The airstream was clean, with nice furnishings and we had everything we needed. We enjoyed making pizza and grilling steak then enjoying the view by the firepit. There was one night when guests from the other campsite were playing music loudly, other than that we had a great time. My husband recommended to give the bushes around the fence a trim as it blocks the view. The hosts were responsive, helpful and gave clear instructions. We plan on coming back with a crew to rent out the other campsites!

Zak was very friendly and helpful! He showed us to our site when we arrived and helped us find the pool. The property is so beautiful- we were very impressed by the waterfall and the views. Site C was very private and surrounded by nature. I would definitely stay again!

Incredible property! We loved our stay here and the Airstream is equipped with pretty much anything you would need. Unbelievable views with a good amount of privacy from neighboring sites as well. I would recommend anyone to stay here.

3 nights at The Yard!
My partner and I had a cozy time at the Yard. The Casita camper was the perfect place to crash after exploring Santa Cruz's beaches and redwood forests during the day. The nearby La Selva beach was a nice short walk away. It's also close to US-1, so it's a quick drive to Santa Cruz and UCSC's campus. I recommend!

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!

1 night at The Yard!
After spending 4 night with my partner and daughter, I came back with two girlfriends and we had the best night sleep. We are about 5’4, 5’7 and 5’9 - all athletically built and we were super comfortable. We cooked little quesadillas and had wine. We explored the beaches. We cuddled up and watched a movie in the dark on our iPad. It was exactly what we needed! I want to come back for a more extended stay this summer.
