Welcome to Tru-Love Ranch! A stones throw from local State Beaches and a central location for visiting Santa Cruz or Monterey. Camp on our viewing deck that overlooks the wetlands known as Harkin's Slough. It is a bird watchers retreat: we have seen just about everything from a finch to a family of osprey's on our property. There is a small plane airport across the way so those "birds" are fun to watch but can be a bit noisy on sunny weekend days. We are also 15 minutes away from Corralitos Wine Trail and the famous Corralitos Market.

Wetlands Overlook Tent Site
Gorgeous views, better people
Rob's land was absolutely gorgeous!!! The deck with the sunset views is worth it in itself, but then Rob went far above and beyond as a host. Could not recommend more!

Above and Beyond Host!
The host Rob was absolutely amazing! It was my boyfriends birthday and I had planned a trip here after our dinner with his family. We came later in the evening and Rob still accommodated us, by showing us around, and telling us what we can use and how to use it! He had even surprised us with fruit tartes as a little "birthday treat" which was actually a super considerate and thoughtful. Overall a great stay and I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area or looking for a little getaway.

Everything about our stay was lovely and made extra special because of Rob. He went above and beyond and surprised us with wine and cake for my partners birthday. Additionally, he provided wood, fire starters and water which was so kind and thoughtful. Even though it was raining we still enjoyed our night. Only disclaimer was there were a couple raccoons after dark that kept hissing at us. They didn’t try to harm us but definitely wanted the food we were cooking on the fire. Otherwise, I would highly recommend for anyone to visit!!

Wetlands Overlook Tent Site
A True Gem Right Here !
Staying at the wetland overlook truly went above and beyond our expectations. While the site looked lovely in the photos it was even more breathtaking in person. Our host Rob was one of the kindest people I have met on Hipcamp and you can tell he puts a lot of love and effort into making sure your stay is comfortable. They were kind enough to provide electricity to charge up our e-bikes during our stay and went the extra mile to provide a hospitable experience for us. Easily one of my favorite camps ever that I've found on here and would highly recommend to a friend or anyone looking for accommodations in the Santa Cruz area. Rob is a terrific and friendly host, and I promise that your stay will be nothing short of magical.. Would be glad for the opportunity to camp here again some day !

Just perfect❤️
I can’t say enough good things about our stay! Rob is such a nice guy, he welcomed us when we arrived, showed us around, how to use the heater in the tent and offered us coffee in the morning. He also provided firewood, bug spray, flashlights, wine and flowers, and pots and utensils for cooking on the little gas grill. The bed was super comfy too and we didn’t even need the extra blanket we brought along. You enter the property through a private gate, Rob provided the code before we arrived, we felt very safe the whole time. There’s a porta potty to use near the front of his home where you park, the campsite is a short walk around to the back. The location couldn’t be better, it’s close enough to town if you want to pick up Thai takeout, but secluded and private at the same time. We loved the beautiful views, birds and bees everywhere, surprisingly no mosquitoes too, pictures just don’t do it justice. Rob warned us that a raccoon might stop by, he did get into the trash can at night but didn’t bother us at all. We hope to come back again and snuggle the family dogs next time! Thank you so much Rob!

Gorgeous views, wonderful stay
Rob’s glamping site was perfect. His thoughtful touches like headlamps, big spray/sunscreen, water for the campfire, etc. were absolutely wonderful. My kids and I enjoyed our stay!!
