Felton Open Space Camp Sites

Site 31 - Felton Open Space Camp Sites

We reserved Camp site #2 three nights for Mother's Day weekend. Check in was at 2pm and at 3:30pm, the host texted me and said he moved me to site #1 because he believed it would work better for us. I didn't think too much of this. I have other hosts offer me different sites so this was normal. When arrived, there were already people camping in Site #2, the site we reserved. They told us they got the site through Harvest Host. I wasn't too happy to hear that we were double booked. I picked site #2 because it was surrounded by trees, had shade, and had places to hang hammocks based on the reviews and photos. The next morning, the campers in Site #2 were still there but were packing up. We were getting ready to head out for the day so my thought was I would move back to my reserved site when we returned in the evening. When we returned that evening, there was another set of camper in site #2. Other sites were open. I messaged the host about this and he got right back to me blaming me for my situation and not letting him know sooner. He framed it as though he was helping me out by giving me more privacy but there was no privacy. There were campers right next to us both nights so far despite there being open sites further away. We did not stay the third evening, which was mothers day. We packed up or site and camper in the sun, because there was no shade in Site #1 and left. I messaged the host regarding a refund due to our reservation not being as described and he ignored me.

We loved staying here in Felton - it is super close to town and the sunny spots gave us great solar power. The tasting room is lovely and the campsites are nicely spaced out. The only thing we’d suggest is to be aware that a dog belonging to the winery roams the property and is not well trained. He’s a kind enough dog, but bit our daughter’s hand going for a pinecone she was holding. And he would often come around at night and bark, waking up the kids. Just something to be aware of if you have small kids of dogs.

Easy access to the Henry Cowell redwoods SP, safe and quiet. No water access onsite and bathroom (dry toilet) is 10 minutes walk away, one way. Entrance was bumpy and scratched my SUV each time. Host is very friendly. Lots of potential to make it a good campsite.

I stayed on Felton's Open space in my Ford transit van. It was so nice to have a hiking trail in walkable distance and the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of the space.

Camping with Shirdi Baba

Tent ·

The location is very convenient, associated with a winery in Felton. The Felton Baba Temple on site is very cool! Walking distance (1 mi.) from some great hiking opportunities among the redwoods. However, the campsites are packed a bit close so this may be a better option for RVs than tent camping.

This is a great spot - we've been back a couple times now and have really enjoyed the quiet and beauty of Hallcrest, and yet close to everything. John and Lorraine are lovely hosts - fun conversation and excellent wine!

We had a great time camping on John’s vineyard! They were extremely welcoming and kind. The camp spot was nice and cool with all of the shade from the trees on a hot day.

Beautiful place to stay! So peaceful and quiet under the trees at the camp spots. My dog and I would walk around the winery in the morning and evening. And Bodie the dog is so nice and friendly! Will definitely plan to stay here again.

Quiet, secluded but convenient.

It’s a pretty place, very spacious with a handful of campsites set in a grove of trees. Quiet but just minutes from the town. The sites have numbers, but they’re hard to see. You wouldn’t want to try to find it in the dark. There was supposed to be a bathroom available, but I didn’t see any sign of it. A water source would also be nice and, again, might have been there but not obvious.

Quiet campground near HCRSP

20 ft campervan ·

Hosts John and Lorraine really pour on the love! This tiny campground is hosted by Hallcrest Vineyards (which incidentally has the best wine and cider). The campground is tucked under some shady trees and is very quiet. I had maybe two other campers nearby And I don't think there's but 8 or 10 spots. There's a sweet little altar/deck a short walk away if you're into yoga or meditation. Less than a half mile from the property is the entrance to Henry Cowell Redwoods Fall Creek unit in one direction and the little town of Felton in the other direction. Felton has a really good grill, bar, and bakery. How can such a small town attract such quality? Meanwhile, Santa Cruz is just 20 miles away. I would absolutely camp here again.

Site 4 - Felton Open Space Camp Sites

All the sites were quite lovely and easy to get into with our trailer. We had site one, which has a little more space than the others and worked well for our setup Bodhi the dog is a big friendly goofball who visited us several times, but be warned he will try to steal food (and dog toys) if you let him. He and our dog got along really well and were playing together nicely the whole weekend. The winery tasting room is an easy walk from any of the sites and has some great wines and ciders on tap. Would definitely visit again.

John was a wonderful host! The campsite was clean, quiet, and the bathrooms were clean! The site also had a lovely Baba Temple on it that I went to and meditated at. Next time, I’ll remember my yoga mat. There’s a great little winery/cidery on site too. We didn’t get a chance to go because we had a busy weekend, but will be sure to next time. Also, their winery dog is super sweet and joined us on some walks around the property!

Site 1 is great for travel trailer

30 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

Very peaceful. John is a great host. He took time to meet me upon my arrival and ensure I got into my spot ok. Site #1 was perfect for my travel trailer. I was able to pull right in and get set up easily without having to back up my trailer. The grounds are very well maintained and there is lots of open area to walk my dog. It is mostly under the trees. I do have solar and although I don’t think it was able to charge, I had plenty of power for my 4 night stay so it was not an issue for me. I would definitely stay there again.
