Come and camp like its 1949 in our retro Boles Aero trailer at Fern Ridge Camper. Much like Airstream, Boles Aero was building top of the line campers out of aircraft grade aluminum; providing chill vibes and highly functional spaces. Come enjoy our blast from the past in our completely original Boles Aero trailer. Apart from the camper itself, which sleeps two comfortably, our site comes equipped with outdoor dining, string lights, and a fire pit to enjoy the stars. Situated at the front of our property, the camper provides a private feel, while still being conveniently located. 10 minutes from town, 15 minutes from the closest beach, and 30 minutes from the beach boardwalk our site is close enough to all Santa Cruz has to offer, while secluded enough to enjoy the natural spaces unique to the Santa Cruz mountains.Come and camp like its 1949 in our retro Boles Aero trailer at Fern Ridge Camper.

Lovely couples getaway!
The hosts were very attentive of our arrival, provided detailed instructions on how to get there and a space to have a wonderful time! The space was very neat and clean and has everything you will need for a campout. Definitely recommended!

Matt’s camper and its surrounding space are equal parts charming and cozy. The van itself is comfortable, functional, and well maintained, and the outdoor space is truly lovely. Matt was also a super responsive and welcoming host. This turned out to be the perfect place to spend a chill and restorative birthday. 11/10, would come back!

Mountain oasis
What a restorative stay on Matt's land. The pictures are all very accurate and Matt's communication was clear, friendly, helpful and responsive. It's a cozy camper with a very comfy mattress. Other stays in campers have had a bit of a musty smell (understandably), but Matt's camper was airy and very clean. Because you're on a ridge, you really feel the cool mountain air right outside your window. An oasis just a short drive from many amenities. Only drawback is no shower, so I'd recommend this as a 1-2 night stay max.

we loved staying at matt's place - the stars and crickets and trees around there made us super happy. the camper itself is v cute and comfortable and has all the basic stuff you need to charge things, listen to music, make food or coffee etc. the composting toilet might be weird for some but it was def more appealing than one you might find at a campground and was super clean and didn't smell at all. matt was v responsive and helpful. tysm <3
