Cabin #16, awesome to hear the creek on the other side of the trees but very very muddy. I think it was the combination of low ground and water access close by.

1 night at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Place is one of a kind. I’ve been back 2x and will go again.

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Beautiful camp site nestled in the redwoods, perfect for a little getaway. Matt was very communicative and friendly too. We went with our toddler and had to be careful with some of the poison ivy and narrow paths but she loved it and didn’t want to leave. Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

Redwood Paradise is a magical place! The host, her son and dog were amazing and incredibly kind and welcoming. The mix of serene redwoods, classical piano music played by Marshall (host’s son), and Peruvian coffee in the morning make the ambience for this retreat truly unique. We were at site 2 which had beautiful evening lighting coming in just after 6 PM. Make sure your tent faces the west :) We highly recommend Redwood Paradise!

2 nights at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Great spot close to lots of activities and town. Nice and quiet and Matt is a wonderful host! Will definitely visit again!

1 night at Hilltop Vineyard Dome Glamping

This was my first time dome camping and it was really fun! The sky was clear that night and you could see stars from the dome. The host was great, thank you!

1 night at Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

I was here just a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to come back—so I did! That’s how much I love this spot. This time, I brought my mom and nephew for their very first camping trip, and it was perfect. The site is only about 15 minutes from town, which makes it super easy to grab anything you might’ve forgotten. There’s water available for washing dishes (so we only had to bring drinking water), and the composting toilet has been moved further from the campfire—yay! It’s still very convenient and easy to access (even with kids), but now there’s even more space to gather and relax around the fire. Such a thoughtful improvement. Can’t wait to come back again! It’s the perfect low effort, accessible camping. You still get the privacy, the redwoods, the peacefulness… but without all the effort it takes to camp in more remote places.

Weekend Trip to Fern Ridge Flats - Private Camping

Serene little camping spot. Super private and well kept with beautiful views. Lots of active wildlife!! Amazing hikes nearby and Matt was a great host - clear, communicative, friendly. Planning on coming back with friends (although might be a wee tight for two couples if you’re not close).

Weekend Trip to Redwood Paradise Camping

The location and hospitality were amazing. Hot tub at night, coffee put out for guests in the morning, and a very nice host. And beautiful setting in the redwoods.

2 nights at Elkhorn Ranch

Norris is so amazing and kind! We had such a great time camping here. Goats, sheep, and more farm animals to play with! It’s such a wholesome spot

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

We occupied two sites. Great place to crash after a long drive. Super pretty and amazing sunset.

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Cross Road

We arrived at the Ranch later in the afternoon, and navigating the large fifth-wheel trailer onto the property proved a bit challenging. The turn into the entrance is somewhat tight, and entering the gate code would have temporarily blocked the street—something to keep in mind for future guests. The property itself is stunning—peaceful, scenic, and beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, due to our late arrival and early departure the next morning, we didn’t have the opportunity to explore the common areas. It was a real treat to let the dogs roam freely after a long day on the road. They thoroughly enjoyed the open space, though it’s worth noting that there are some foxtails and burrs around, which can easily get caught in their coats—something to be mindful of. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking. There was a gathering at a neighboring facility that evening, and while we could hear their music softly in the distance, it added a pleasant, festive undertone to the quiet night. Later, the sound of coyotes calling under the stars brought a touch of wild charm, followed by roosters crowing at dawn—a true country experience. Though our stay was brief and we didn’t have the chance to meet Matt, we thoroughly appreciated the serene atmosphere and would gladly return for a longer visit in the future.

Weekend Trip to FEEL GOOD CAMP

Love this little place, it was exactly what I had hoped for, there was shade at the tent site, and the umbrella over the table made a bug difference from the sun as well. I brought my dog and we made friends with the other campers- even exchanged numbers so we could meet again here and let our dogs play together again. 10\10 would very much recommend!(already have!) thank you!

3 nights at May's Luxury Farmstays

Great space, very chill. Very close to intersection of CA-35 and CA-9. Easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies in Saratoga and very close to all the parks along Skyline Blvd (CA-35). There were other guests staying on the property close to us, but it wasn't a problem, but beware, there may be random children around due to this. The fish pond was extremely nice, I really loved the chickens, and there was a great view. The Log Cabin was definitely a studio that was great for 2 people. I wouldnt want to stay there with more people.

1 night at Redwood Paradise Camping

I had a great time camping here, the pool was nice and so was the atmosphere. I would definitely come back! Marshall was super great and helpful during my stay. Thank you!

2 nights at Elkhorn Ranch

We love this farm and highly recommend staying here. The baby goats are amazing, and Roberta and Norris are so nice.

1 night at May's Luxury Farmstays

Lovely stay!! The yurt was cozy. The view from either side of the farm was amazing. The kids had a blast feeding the fish and hanging out with the chickens!

1 night at Silicon Valley View

It was great! We brought a few pop up tents which were very necessary, it was extremely hot and my dogs were overheating a bit. Once it cooled down it was so nice- bring bug spray or cover up because the mosquitos were excessive. Bathroom didn’t have any water so bring your own to flush the toilet with. Its out there so be prepped with enough water and things to keep cool. It was really beautiful!

Grey Oaks 2

3 sites · Tents20 acres · Aromas, CA

This is great option for those who like to bring all their own gear to camp, and don’t need or want all the extras. Our new Primitive Adventures campsites are located on an established 5-star property. It’s a peaceful, secluded and private country estate. The 20 acre property starts out flat and then gentle to moderate sloped hillside with coastal live oak trees, eucalyptus trees, pine trees, meadows and many interesting landscape features nestled between the vast farmlands of North Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties. We have a beautiful 45ft waterfall with a koi pond, too. Property faces a westerly direction so there are amazing sunset views depending on where you are standing at the time on the property. We are 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The weather is usually mild here and we have cool evenings. We do get days that are in the 90s sometimes in the summer and early fall, but we also have lots of shade with all the trees. There is wildlife like turkeys and owls and so much more (see our listing or our website). We have horses and a donkey, separate from the campsites, so no flies or smell from them. Hot shower and toilets. Forage for plentiful eucalyptus and oak firewood for free, or pre-cut pine is available for purchase. Most of our weekends are fully booked at our Rustic Campsites already, so here is another chance to have yourself a weekend camping trip at our new Primitive Adventures campsites. We hope to see you soon! :)
