Camping at Hallcrest Winery offers a blend of nature, hospitality, and convenience. With spacious sites and a welcoming host, John, visitors often highlight the peace and tranquility of the location. The proximity to town and hiking trails adds to the appeal, while the on-site winery provides a unique touch to the camping experience. While some mention the walk to the bathroom, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, making it a favored spot for both families and solo adventurers.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
John made our stay really wonderful! The property is wide open and closer to town than we had imagined, but we still felt like we were far away from cares. The site was easy (though a walk to the bathroom!)
There is a Buddhist Stupa on the land which made the stay even more magical. We will return! It was great for the party of 16!!

I loved camping on John’s land. It was a perfect spot for us for the wedding we were attending at Roaring Camp Railroads, which was less than a mile. Fall creek trail and the town was within walking distance from the site. John was so kind and helpful. Would recommend to anyone that wants a great spot to stay in Felton.

We had a really good experience tent camping here! The location is close to town but feels pretty secluded. The tasting room is really cool. John was communicative and helpful! Highly recommend.

John is very hospitable. It was a quiet night and close enough to walk downtown for coffee and breakfast burritos. I would love to stay there again.

Quiet and accommodating for a quick stay. The host (John) was very helpful and always available. Bathroom and water station is located at the property up the road and is very clean. Trash cans nearby sites. If the sites are all full, it could feel less private. No issues with noise. Plenty of shade throughout. We stopped by the nearby vineyard property and enjoyed the tasting. It was just what we needed passing through on our way north. Overall great stay and would recommend!

This was the second time we stayed at this campsite - it’s a lovely location. We stayed in site 1 this time which was a little more open space. Just note that the entrance and exit there is a sizeable bump but our 23 foot trailer cleared it without any issues.

I recently had the pleasure of spending a few days at HIPCAMP, and it was an absolutely positive experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by John, the owner. There is a working winery on site with a tasting room open to the public - I recommend trying the 2021 Malbec and 2023 Can Franc, my personal favorites.

The camp is super quiet and scenic. It was a great stay. Very close to Santa Cruz. Will definitely stay there again when I’m in the area. Perfect for van camping.

John has a really nice set up, he was super helpful and friendly. Campsites were very quiet and clean. John kept a fire going at the winery one evening so we could have dinner around it and make smores! We’ll definitely be back when we’re back in the area.

Great little site to crash after a long day of playing in the woods. Excellent cider, super clean flushing bathroom (score), very quiet, and nice host. My dog played with the owner’s dog one morning 🧡. Would definitely recommend.

We spent 2 peaceful nights at John’s place. The setting is lovely and John is a kind and welcoming host. We woke up to 3-4 deer grazing in the meadow one morning. Enjoyed nice strolls in the evenings over to the winery. We’ve already made reservations for another stay.

The host, John was very friendly. The site is mostly shaded and was great for our tent camping. There were other people camped in the sites on either side of us at least one of the nights, but everyone was very quiet.

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend here. The hosts were extremely kind and offered greatsuggestions on what to check out in the area. Our camp spot was spacious and well shaded, and getting to be within walking distance of the tasting room and restaurants in the town was amazing. This was a perfect spot to getaway for a relaxing weekend.

Wonderful sites with shade overlooking the mountain forests. Wine tasting on-site was above and beyond and reasonably priced. Walking distance to main street and the best forest trail in the world. John is a super host and I hope to have his life someday. We will be back with friends!

Awesome space to camp, wildlife came through every day. The trees are really nice as well. Having a bathroom was an added bonus.

We had a great experience on John's land, camping as a group of friends and we booked the 6 spaces under the trees. John and Bodie (the awesome dog) were very friendly and welcoming and even offered to build us a contained fire at the winery since the fire ban was in effect. The space is quiet and peaceful with plenty wildlife and gorgeous views. The trees provided nice shade and shelter from the occasional rain. Highly recommend!
