Welcome to the Amaya Creek Redwood Campground! We are deep in the Santa Cruz mountains and it’s rustic so be prepared! The road is all paved but it can be narrow, bumpy and steep in some areas. Be sure to follow our directions to bypass the road closure! There is no cell phone service in some areas. PLEASE NOTE, we do not have a trash service for the campground, we require all campers to PACK OUT THEIR TRASH with them! We have 40 acres of redwood forest and two creeks running through including the Amaya Creek which serves the boundary of our property at the end of Amayak Creek Trail. There’s also a small waterfall off the Amaya Creek Trail, but it may dry out during the summer. Enjoy hiking, creeks and small waterfall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more. Our campground has running water from a natural spring, Men and Women's Restrooms each with 2 toilets and 1 FREE hot water shower, utility shed with sink and hot water, and an outdoor amphitheater. The kitchen and washer/dryer is Staff Only not for campers. . Most campsites allow 4-6 guests maximum with 1 car included in the nightly rate. Each additional vehicle is $15 per day and will be added at checkout once you add the correct number of vehicles you will be bringing. Pets are $10 per day, 1 pet per group ONLY. Please add this as an extra at the time of booking, you will see the option to add extras once you begin the checkout process. Dogs must be on leash at all times! Quiet hours are 10pm-8am. No drugs of any kind including marijuana allowed. No loud music allowed. This is a private property so no visitors are allowed, only paid guests. Our onsite staff will go around and enforce the rules. No hookup for RV and trailer, check each site description to see if RV/trailer is ok for that site.

It was just right for my needs for my 1 night stay.. Single vehicle with rooftop tent.I took some pics of the giant redwoods as well. Pretty cool formations in some sites. I wouldn’t want to pull a camper or drive an RV to it as the roads r narrow. But a beautiful drive to it. Tents, Sprinter vans and roof top tents is what I would recommend.

Beautiful property with a great mix of campsites that either offer shade within the redwoods or sunshine with amazing views. The bathrooms were clean. The whole campground is on a hill so helpful to know that if you’re not close to the bathroom you’ll have to walk up and down a hill a bit.

Lack of Security and Neglected Infr

Unfortunately, our experience at the camping area did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival, we noticed there was no gatehouse or security personnel to monitor the entry and exit of vehicles and guests, which raised concerns about safety. Additionally, the property appeared poorly maintained, with overgrown vegetation and restrooms showing significant signs of wear and lack of upkeep. Overall, the infrastructure seemed neglected, detracting considerably from our stay.

The site was great! There was a decent amount of privacy between campsites, so I think it is way better than a normal campground. The bathroom and showers were rustic and simple, but they worked. The trees and the long winding drive were beautiful.

We needed a last minute spot for quick easy car camping. It was available with amenities and highly appreciated. We were spending time in Santa Cruz. Bit of a drive daily but beautiful.

The site was beautiful and easy to find. My partner and I loved our walk to the small creek at the end of the property.
