35mi from Woodside · 2 sites · Tents, RVsCamp beneath the towering canopies of a coastal redwood forest on our unique, off-grid property in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our land is filled with magnificent redwoods, ancient logging stumps, and oak trees shaped by years of natural growth and history. It’s a peaceful place to slow down, reconnect with nature.
Each campsite has its own picnic table, and guests can enjoy our shared communal BBQ and gas fire pit, perfect for preparing a meal and gathering in the evenings beneath the redwoods. You’ll also find hammocks for relaxing and our handcrafted driftwood outdoor shower with hot water, surrounded by the beauty of the forest.
We’re just 15 minutes from Aptos Village, with wonderful restaurants, local wineries, and the beaches of Rio Del Mar nearby. You can enjoy the quiet of the forest while still being close to everything the coast has to offer.
We’ve created this space as a place to rest, explore, and experience the natural world up close. Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway, a little adventure, or simply time away from the everyday, we hope you leave feeling refreshed and connected to the land.
