We really enjoyed our stay here! The campsite is spacious, private, and wonderfully quiet — exactly what we were looking for. Our anxious dog actually slept better here than at any other campsite we’ve been to, which says a lot. He didn’t wake up every few minutes to check the surroundings; he was completely at peace.
A couple of things to note: the kitchen area could use a bit of attention. Also, make sure to arrive before dark. The driveway is very steep, but my 2WD was able to make it with careful driving.
Overall, a beautiful and peaceful spot, and we would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Santa Cruz Mountain Camping
The tent and bed were very spacious. The view of the stars at night and the mountains in the mornings was beautiful. In November it was very cold at night as expected but it was much easier to stay comfortable and warm here than in a regular tent.

We really love the idea that this space was in a lot of nature, but also had just enough amenities to keep our big group from having to work too hard on our relaxing weekend away

This is a great getaway for anyone looking for a peaceful private retreat! The land has some beautiful views and the glamping setup is clean and simple! Shelly is also a very welcoming host, she came down to the campsite to check on me and we ended up chatting for a long time.
This little hideaway in the mountains is a place I’d love to come back to! Bonus - I saw deer on my drive out two mornings in a row!

Lovely wooded spot in close proximity to lots of hiking trails, a year round creek for exploring, wine tasting, and Saratoga Village. Good spot for camping light. Hwy 9 curves around the camping portion of the property so expect vehicle noise. It didn't prevent us from enjoying the place and at night there is hardly any traffic so sleeping was fine. There is a hose near the camp area that makes for good hand washing and outdoor showers. Shannon was truly the best host ever and really enhanced our stay with her generosity. Very thankful for her.

My 11 year old decided he wanted a camping birthday, and this was an amazing place for kids around his age! They loved the trampoline, swings, slackline, and having plenty of wood for the firepit. The parents loved the convenience of the outdoor kitchen with warm water, and the flexibility in where to pitch tents. The hosts and friends were great. The woods were beautiful, and when it got hot midday we were very happy driving to a swimming hole nearby. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful spot with a huge amount of space and land to explore. It needed some attention when we got there... It felt pretty disheveled with old rags around the kitchen, the outdoor carpets were buried, everything had a thick layer of dust on it and the ping pong table seemed hopelessly askew. But we spent our first morning straightening things up and then had a lovely time. The main camp is next to the road that goes up the top part of the property and, when we were there, the folks that live on site went up and down it (by foot and by truck) a fair amount. They are lovely folks so we enjoyed chatting with them a bit, but just noting if you are looking for something completely private (this is also noted in the description). Very unusual to be able to be on 70 acres of beautiful land where your dog can be off leash and be free. We didn't see much wildlife in our short stay but you can tell it's all around you (foxes, boar, etc). so, after a bit of a bit of a rocky start, we really enjoyed our stay and will likely return.

This place was so perfect for our large friend/family reunion. The kids had the best time on the ropes course and we created amazing memories. There was a lot of poison oak, so we made sure the kids wore long socks and stayed on the paths. 2wd cars were fine! We would love to book this site again!

Great spot for our two rig family camp trip!
We loved the outdoor kitchen, kids played for hours on the trampoline and rainbow swing, enjoyed exploring, and relaxing in the dome area/reading on the deck.
Convenient to have a later check out— thank you! Hosts were great, setting was lovely.
Ps. Steep arrival driveway, but in a low gear our loaded up Sprinter van was a-ok.
Note to be aware of, and easier arrival in day-light!

Had a great stay with a group of 9 with 3 dogs. The kitchen had more equipment than we could have used and the shade was a lifesaver with the weekend heatwave. The property managers were around a few times throughout the weekend but it felt very private except for that. Communication with Rebecca was prompt, instructions were clear and we took advantage of the tip to check out the Junction Park swim hole. Would definitely stay here again!

Big beautiful, private, and wonderful spot to enjoy nature and make use of the phenomenal outdoor kitchen area. Very accommodating to all styles of camping. There are many interesting special spots and aesthetic findings to explore hiking around the land. Highly recommend and will be back!

The property is awesome! I’ve stayed there several times now and the charm keeps me coming back! I also find new things to fall in love with each time I’m there. The outdoor shower is by far my favorite part of the property, it’s worth the dive alone! Not to mention my dogs can run around and have plenty of room to enjoy themselves. The outdoor kitchen has everything a hip camper could need this last time. I got to meet Rebecca and she was so kind! I’d book this place every night if I could!
