3 nights at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

We had a really nice stay! I loved using the community kitchen, the outdoor shower and the array of games and places to sit and relax. The grounds are beautiful and the hosts were helpful and kind. We would love to stay again!

2 nights at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

Like a scene out of Jurassic Park, the Secret Garden is unique, beautiful, and breathtaking. Countless amenities, including one of the most incredible showers I've ever taken, this particular hipcamp is a gem like no other. We would absolutely stay again and plan to do so as soon as possible! Thank you Yeyen for your hospitality!

1 night at Zen Teahouse Studio in the forest

Loved the space! Very clean and cozy and has amazing views.

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Vineyard Dome Glamping

Easy to find, lots of space, chill atmosphere. I added a guest on last minute also and it was no problem. Would definitely stay here again! Good spot for dogs as well.

1 night at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

The landscaping and design of the Secret Gardens is amazing and it feels magical to be there. Both hosts were very kind and responsive when we had any questions or minor issues. We would definitely stay there again!

Weekend Trip to FEEL GOOD CAMP

I camped solo with my dog at Feel Good Camp and loved it! The communal kitchen was great, I was happy to not pack my camp kitchen gear. The vibe of the campground is very peaceful and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back!

Farbod and Yeyen were amazing. Their property is SO COOL

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

Great place to camp. I usually opt for the basic camping and found this gem in a pinch. Full outdoor kitchen and space to eat, kick back and several unique camp fire areas to relax in. One of the first camping trips that I have taken where I didn’t need to bring much. Cleaning up after myself and being respectful of this nice place was a honor. The Host is very hospitable, the grounds and facilities are immaculate, act accordingly. Beach access is close and the option for even better access may be available.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

This campsite is truly a hidden gem. The photos don’t justify the unique beauty, character and special details this location has. The communal kitchen, eating areas were clean and well stocked. The fire pits are seating areas were beautifully designed. It was like stepping into a magical village. The landscaping and design of the cottages, walkways, railing, swings and even bathrooms were exceptional. The hosts were friendly and easily communicated with me throughout the whole process. My boyfriend and small dogs really enjoyed for short stay and we will be returning here once more.

1 night at 10000 Ranch

Lovely, peaceful spot! Edward’s setup was a welcoming oasis that we’d love to return to!

Weekend Trip to 10000 Ranch

Booked last min trip. For the price, timing and location I couldn’t be happier. It was a safe place for me and my girl to stay with a bathroom and shower available. Didn’t have to worry about anyone messing with our stuff or car compared to staying in the city. This was located on a ranch. Basic set up that had a gate we can lock and unlock whenever we needed to leave which is nice. Compared to some other camp spots anyone can walk on the property/park. We had some deer visitors that welcomed our stay which was really nice to see. It would have been nice to be able to set up a fire pit. Maybe in the future there can be dug out dedicated spots to enjoy a fire. During dry season through its understandable. We visited Monterey and Santa Cruz during our stay.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

This place is amazing! The grounds are well maintained, and a pleasure to explore. We (and our 2 dogs) had a great time wandering through the winding paths and up and down the hills. The property feels secluded, but it's a short hop over to the beach and the rest of Santa Cruz. We had no problems fitting our 21' trailer into the RV spot, and were surprised to find power and water as well!

Weekend Trip to FEEL GOOD CAMP

This place was amazing!!! The owners were very kind, welcoming and responsive. There is an outdoor kitchen, fully stocked with everything you could think of. There is an outdoor shower! But also enclosed showers. It was fun meeting people around the communal fire pits. There were couches to hang out and read or play games. The owners built everything around nature and it’s beautiful! There were cabins, tent sites and RV sites.

2 nights at The Secret Gardens by the Bay

I travelled to the Secret Garden with my two 10 year old twin daughters and two dogs. Very chill and enchanting environment. The common area is cared for and well equipped. Great privacy combined with opportunity community gatherings if desired. The hosts Yeyen and Farbod were welcoming, warm and attentive. Extremely clean showers, bathrooms and living area. It's like a glamping experience with rustic charm.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

We loved staying at the Secret Garden. The hosts were so welcoming and kind, and the facilities were very well cared for. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Zen Teahouse Studio in the forest

This is our second time with the Zen Teahouse Studio. We love staying here. It’s a quiet neighborhood and a great landing place with indoor space to spread out a bit, where we have the use of a kitchenette, a bathroom and an outdoor shower, all of witch make our working (we come to town to vend at fairs) camping trips. Juliana is very responsive and easy to work with. The space is clean and quaint and relaxing.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

The location is nice. However the intimacy and creativity they have put into the haven is so charming! It is clear their passion has been put towards their guest’s enjoyment. This is a very nice setting for celebrating community if you crave this or peaceful alone time as well !

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

Yeyen and Farbod were very warm and welcoming hosts. Directions were clear with plenty of follow up communication. Easy access. Sites for tents, pop-up campers, RV's, cabins, huge fully stocked communal kitchen, plenty of bathrooms/restrooms - something for everyone and all imaginatively laid out & decorated and spotlessly maintained. The gardens are both secret and really beautiful. Plenty of places to meander. Close to beaches. I had planned to stay only one night - and after an hour or so of being in that tranquil environment, I extended my stay by two additional nights!

Weekend Trip to The Secret Gardens by the Bay

Staying at Secret Gardens by the Bay was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Nestled in the stunning Santa Cruz mountains with ocean views and surrounded by nature, this place radiates beauty, creativity, and soul. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first since it really is a secret gem, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how Yeyen, Farbod, and Umer went the extra mile to make it a truly unforgettable experience. Their kindness, thoughtfulness, and care created an atmosphere that felt welcoming, magical, and deeply grounding. The space itself is peaceful and inspiring, with a decorative style that reflects a deep connection to sustainability, personal and spiritual growth, and artistic expression. Everywhere you look, there’s something unique—from art installations to cozy corners tucked into the gardens—and it all feels vibrant, thoughtful, and full of life. I celebrated my birthday here and without question, it was the best birthday of my entire life. The space, the energy, the people—everything came together in the most beautiful way. This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s an experience. A place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and soak in the magic. I truly believe everyone should experience it at least once. I know I’ll treasure it for the rest of my life. 💖💖💖
