Wow! What a treat. The Creek Site is private, quiet, and so peaceful. We travel with a little one, and we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The short hike from the site to the creek was the perfect challenge for the kiddo's little legs. We were immersed in nature and lulled to sleep by the sound of the creek below, but the property was also just a short drive to nearby amenities and attractions. (We couldn't miss the steam train in Felton.) Doug was very communicative and friendly. We will definitely come back.

Great secluded spot in the redwoods! You’ll have the nice cleared wooded area to yourselves. We stayed at campsite 1 up top. Campsite 2 is about a mile down the dirt road closer to the creek. It’s a nice hike down and gets pretty steep at the end. There are no toilets, but well water. We had no problem driving our 2 wheel drive camper van there. Just the camping we like. Beautiful woodsy area and just us! Nice hosts, we’ll be back!

This is our second time to this beautiful property and we will return again. Doug and Denise are both very warm and welcoming. They are the perfect combination of offering help if needed but also giving us our space. The property is just beautiful with a river you can walk to and so many varieties of mushrooms. Don’t forget to look out for the banana slugs!

The site is beautiful, private and secluded. We loved the creekside location with the small little trail. Great place for dogs and very serene.

I camped here one night on a clear night and loved the sunset and star gazing. You'll definitely need a decent off road capable vehicle with some clearance as the access road is a bit rough. My stock Audi q3 made it but it felt close to it's limits (or mine as a driver, I'm not sure). The site is about 1500ft of elevation so mostly out of the marine layer, but not completely - my gear was very dewy for part of the night.
If you want a polished glamping site then this isn't for you, but if you want some excellent views and don't mind a mini adventure off-roading up past old weed farms, check it out. I'd go again.

We stayed at the Creek Site and it was perfect for my partner, pup and me. Doug and Denise were both super welcoming and took us down to the site as it is away from their home. It’s a short hike down to the creek, and worth it! It’s so magical down there. As far as location, it’s in the mountains and close to both the ocean and Santa Cruz. Great spot and would go again! As expected, totally off the grid – no cell service.

The coolest hipcamp I have stayed at thus far. Joshua gave very clear directions and was very helpful. The property is massive and views are extraordinary. Definitely need 4x4 with higher clearance, but the top is so worth it. Will be coming back when I am in the area again.

This site was a surprise-it was very isolated, peaceful and nature-filled. It has no amenities- so be sure you have a toilet, water and lots of lights! Luckily we came prepared and it was very serene. The creek sounds were lovely, although it was a bit of a steep hike to get to it. We loved that the site was all our own, there were very few bugs and it was the retreat we needed.

Easy to find and very accessible. The tranquility was a definite plus. Being a single campsite was very nice. Site electrical worked great. Thank you for allowing my wife and I to stay here one night after Boots & Brews instead of driving all the way home.

1 night at Orion Observatory
Beautiful view and lots of privacy. Definitely need a high clearance 4x4/AWD vehicle to get to the spot. Perfect for a Jeep or something similar. Great host. Great communication. Truly a hidden gem.

36 ft fifth wheel
A very peaceful and quiet location just outside of Morgan Hill. Kind of the ideal place for a quick getaway.
We stayed there in our fifth wheel RV and Brian was an excellent host, always very friendly and made sure that we felt welcome.
And an absolute plus to being here was being able to hang out with the Highland cow Dually!

What a great little spot. The spot is as advertised. Plenty of room to back in my 24' trailer. I needed about 2" for leveling that that's no big deal. Water pressure and electric were great. Lots of opportunity to place your rig for decent shade. Duley the little cow was such a fun addition and made the spot.

Beautiful and so quiet! Only thing that was challenging was the no toilets. I hope the plan for the space is to eventually add a portable toilet at least cus that was a little more rustic than I prepared myself for. Still, super lovely property and we had a great time.

Wonderful site! Huge, super private, easy to access, and with incredibly kind hosts!
Just be aware about the bucket toilets - but our whole crew (of adults and kids) worked them with no problem!

Group trip
We had a large group and had plenty of space to spread out, with lots of room to play in the meadow in the midst of the redwoods. Having a water hose at the edge of the camp was great. The walk to the creek (~ a mile) was beautiful, and the creek itself was lovely. The intro to the horses at the barn at feeding time was fun. The hosts were friendly and very accommodating to our needs and last minute changes.

Denise’s place is absolutely amazing. Complete privacy, in the clearing of a redwood Forrest, on a running creak, 10 minutes from the coast. I’ve stayed at over a dozen Hipcamps and this is my favorite spot to date. I’m already planning another visit.
