The best luxury RV campgrounds near Sunnyvale, California

Sitting in temperate central California, Sunnyvale's a great visit if you dislike extreme weather. The average summer weather here is gorgeous, with dry highs usually in the upper 70s. Even in the winter months, Sunnyvale's highs average around 60. The beautiful Bay Area weather makes this region a very popular destination for those who love the outdoors.

It helps that Sunnyvale's within convenient driving distance of other major central California locations. The big city of San Francisco is about an hour's drive north on US-101. San Jose borders the east side of Sunnyvale. The beach town of Santa Cruz is about an hour south.

There aren't many options for RV parks in the city itself. Aloha Mobile Home Park is your best bet for overnighting. Outside the city, try Half Moon Bay RV Park or Coyote Valley RV Resort.

Looking for a spectacular spot to do some hiking? Head about 20 miles southwest of Sunnyvale to reach Big Basin Redwood State Park. Nine trails travel through the old-growth redwoods here. The most popular is the easy 0.6-mile Redwood Nature Trail. Want a real backpacking challenge? Schedule three days to tackle the 25-mile Skyline-to-the-Sea trail.

Almaden Quicksilver County Park sits a similar distance from Sunnyvale to the southeast. If you're here in the spring, schedule a trip to see its lovely wildflower bloom. It's an excellent spot for a warm-weather picnic with friends or partners.

✨ The Secret Gardens ✨ Once upon a time, hidden just beyond the whispers of the ocean breeze, there was a secret place where roses stretched toward the sky, dahlias painted the land with color, and lavender cascaded like purple waterfalls. No one quite knew how to find it—until they stumbled upon it. Here, hearts opened with ease, carried by birdsong, the sway of ancient oaks, the fragrance of woodsmoke, and the laughter that seemed to live in the very air. The Secret Gardens unfurls across 11 acres of enchanted redwoods and noble oaks, where each campsite bears a name drawn straight from the pages of Alice in Wonderland. Guests often tell us: “One night is never enough.” And indeed, when you step out of your car, words and pictures fail—there is only the Wow. In true secret-garden spirit, we share just enough glimpses to spark curiosity. The real magic is revealed only when you arrive. Just one mile from Seascape Beach and a short stroll to Seascape Village—with its quaint cafés, market, spa, and more—our haven balances wild wonder with simple comforts. 🌿 The Realms of the Secret Gardens 🌲 Tulgey Woods Nestled beneath towering redwoods, this woodland hosts RV and tent sites, along with Dodo’s Glamp and the Secret Wagon. Here you’ll find showers, bathrooms, a communal kitchen, a campfire circle, and outdoor dining spaces. It’s perfect for families, car campers, and adventurers with roomy tents. ♟️ Chessboard Land Where play and comfort intertwine: cabins, a communal lounge, a sprawling kitchen, living-wall showers, cozy firepits, and even a projector screen for starlit cinema nights. This is the social heart of the gardens. 🐇 Rabbit Holes (open late spring through summer) Two primitive hideaways—Tweedledee and Tweedledum—await in the wilder reaches of the land. Here, no cars intrude; instead, we whisk your belongings by ATV to these tucked-away forest nooks. 🌸 Private Group Groves Three secluded enclaves designed for gatherings, each with its own bathroom, shower, grill, and sink: • Cheshire Grove • The Horseshoe • Wonderland ⸻ 🌟 What Awaits You • Cozy cabins, Dodo’s Glamp, and the Secret Wagon—complete with bedding, heaters, and access to Chessboard Land’s wonders. • Communal spaces alive with warmth: kitchen, fire pits and trail

You can’t put into words or pictures how wonderful this place is. It’s so amazing!!! If you book anywhere else, it’s a mistake. The property was so enchanting!! We had a surprise group camp trip here for my husbands 30th birthday & everyone (all very experienced campers) left saying it was the best campsite of their life. & we are already planning our return trip! So much effort and love and detail put into every inch of this absolutely stunning property. The owners came down and were so kind and easy going. Can’t wait to come back!!!

The views/property was beautiful and the efficient campsite was set up with power, a table with two chairs, fire pit and wood chip base. The host was kind enough to bring us a battery powered light as well. Neighbors on both sides were quiet and respectful. Bathrooms and showers were plenty and a short walk away. No words for how much care and love have been poured into this property. It’s 11 acres of pure magic in every nook and cranny. There was an event being held there during our stay which we were kindly invited to and did not cause much disturbance. I wish we could have explored more, but the evening daylight is pretty limited now given the time of year. Would definitely return!

The hosts were awesome. Yeyen met us the day we checked in around 5p. We were a bit late coming in since we traveled from San Diego, but Yeyen was super friendly and accommodating. Her husband was super cool and told us about the property and made us comfortable and welcomed. The camp site we reserved was next to the communal kitchen and bathroom which made our stay even better. The other camp sites we saw felt very whimsical and fun, sobwe'll definitely reserve one of those spots bext time. In addition to a fridge, sink, large table, and bbq grill, they even had a flat top grill! I didn't have to use my pan and kitchen utensils. The camp site, bathrooms, and kitchen was clean and since it was a private property, we felt safe. Loved this place and will definitely visit again. Both Hosts even met us in the morning of check out to see us off and wish us safe travels. Love them!

It’s a nice, clean and spacious place to camp. The host is also very responsive, welcoming and accommodating. He even offered his RV if needed during our camp. There is also a storage where you get some chairs, table and game stuff that you can use. A great place to stay for those new campers- with toilet, shower. It’s safe as it’s close to the host’s house.

Yeyen and Farbod’s property feels like something pulled straight out of a fairytale. From the moment you arrive, you can sense the care and imagination that has gone into creating a space that’s both magical and welcoming. The setting is lush, layered, and full of charm—it’s truly above and beyond incredible. One of the most impressive features is the outdoor kitchen. This isn’t just a grill setup—it’s a fully stocked culinary haven that even a professional chef would be thrilled with. Every tool, pan, and surface you might need is there, making it easy to execute anything from a simple breakfast to a gourmet dinner. Cooking in that space is a serious treat. The property is essentially a big hill, guests should come prepared. It’s probably not the best fit for those with limited mobility. While there is an ocean view from the very top of the property, it’s partly blocked by hills. You’ll see water but won’t see the shoreline or waves directly. For campers considering Tugley Wood, note that the sites are close to the road. It’s convenient, but you will definitely hear traffic from passing cars. All in all, this property is enchanting and unforgettable—a unique blend of storybook magic and thoughtful design that makes for a one-of-a-kind stay.
