Our recent campground visit was exactly what we needed.
The site was tucked deep in a redwood forest—private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Each spot was thoughtfully prepared with a leveled pad for an RV or tent, a picnic table, and a fire pit. Upon arrival, the owner personally greeted us, guided us to our site, and even kindly offered firewood for the evening.
The entire campground felt calm, quiet, and secluded—true off-the-grid relaxation. The owners and their family were some of the warmest, kindest people we’ve ever met. On our second day, they stopped by to say hello and even brought their horses. Our dog was absolutely thrilled to see them.
This getaway was especially meaningful for us during the holidays—a perfect chance to reset and prepare for the new year.

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!

We had the most incredible time here on this beautiful property! Lisa and Scott were the most gracious hosts. We showed up late and it was dark. They met us out to ensure we found the spot and were comfortably situated. They brought over a fire pit so we could roast hotdog and make s’mores. Right off the bat they were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. We woke up to a beautiful property. We had a great time running around with the kids, playing on the playground, feeding the goats, playing pickle ball and enjoying coffee provided by the host. We spent the day by the pool and enjoying all of the pool toys and warm hot tub! They provided towels and lifejackets for the kids and sunscreen. It was such a great experience. We can’t wait to come back again!

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

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.

We loved camping out here! The hosts Lisa and Scott were so welcoming and friendly and were quick to respond. That resort feel of having amenities were a plus and it was very family friendly which we loved with our kids. We will definitely be back here 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.

A beautiful, quiet space! It felt safe and was very private. Doug was super helpful when I arrived. The road in is rough but doable for 2-wheel drive.

We had an exceptional time staying here, and the joy it brought to my kids far exceeded our expectations. My daughter loved the goats, and my son loved playing on the play structure.
Lisa and Scott are wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.
The outdoor kitchen area is amazing! It is stocked with a wide variety of utensils and appliances to cook almost anything.
We would like to extend a big thank you to Lisa and Scott, and we hope to return in the future.

The host couple is warm and friendly. The outdoor area is clean and there are activities for kids - basketball, pickle ball, feeding goats, trampoline, pool, and hot tub. There are pool toys and a diving board and the outdoor deck has a shaded outdoor kitchen complete with grilling area (cooking utensils are even provided!) and a fridge and freezer you can use during your stay. Fresh coffee is available in the morning also.

Lisa and Scott are fantastic hosts and their property was a great getaway on our roadtrip. The shared kitchen space was absolutely fantastic and had everything you’d ever want including a Thermapen thermometer (IYKYK). Would absolutely stay here again.

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.

Really a wonderful glamping retreat. Pool, hot tub, everything you could imagine in a covered outdoor kitchen, tv, pickle ball, trampoline, basketball. No shower, yet, and there's an Air BNB also if you want a bed to sleep in. Hosts were a delight. Would definitely return. Thank you!
