Beautiful view at sunrise. Whether you come up from the Los Gatos or the Morgan Hill/Gilroy side, it will go off road but you just have to take it slow and the average car would do just fine. Great spot tho, perfect space for tent camping.

Beautiful spot. Definitely off grid - the last 3ish miles of the road are pretty gnarly but we saw Priuses at the top and we were just fine in our 2wd camper.

It's a great little spot for experienced campers. Perfect for hammock camping. Its about 1/8 mile walk through the property to get to the camp spot from your car. Keep in mind this is a work in progress and someone's homestead. Thor and Emily were very nice. Loved the animals (chickens and large guard dog)

Great location and personnel was very friendly. It's a small spot and RVs are tight together but felt safe. Nice to walk to cafes and the beach from site. Would stay and recommend.

Super easy to find, the road was not terrible coming in from 17. Little chalkboard sign on the left “Panoramic View”. Absolutely great spot! Great view of Monterey Bay and the town below. Walk across the site and you’re looking at the South end of San Jose. Beware of thorns and mind the dust.

Spot is located only a mile from a great surf spot, clean facilities, nice hot shower, and management is extremely kind. They even came out and moved us to a spot that gave us more room and was nicer.
We will stay here again next time we are in Santa Cruz.

Great location and easy to find. Used to live in Santa Cruz and passed by where this is now many times. Convenient to get pretty much anywhere in the area for food, entertainment, surfing, etc.. Smaller spaces but several larger rVs parked just fine. I had a 16.5’ campervan and plenty of room. Two bathroom stalls and a private nice hot shower available as well! Full hook ups, which were convenient as I was in an electric vehicle! There were some other open spots which I would’ve preferred to the one that they put me in – but it was no big deal and I’m sure if I asked when I got there they would have. One of those hidden gem places to stay in Santa Cruz other than the always booked state parks! Pet friendly too! We’ll be back again!

We loved our stay here! Our highlight - this place is just a quick walk away from the beach!!! We had some lovely walks along the coastline during our stay that were just magical. It's also close to groceries & the main areas of town!
The campground is clean, well kept, has sweet & friendly hosts. The bathrooms were great, showers are hot and it was well kept. There is a cute little hangout spot around the back that has a gas fire pit which is a nice addition. Overall a 10/10 stay if you're looking for a camper/van/rv spot on the coastline!

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.

The location is great for exploring Santa Cruz and the surrounding area. The actual sites are not very large and right next to each other, since it is in am urban environment. So if you are looking for a place to stay and stay at the campsite I probably wouldn't recommend it. But if you just want to eat and sleep here and go exploring it's great.
