Creature comforts

Sauna
A little haven of warmth and relaxation.
Magical 6 acre permaculture ranch just a few minutes to town, beaches and restaurants. Take a bath under a clear night sky, enjoy the morning birdsong and take a stroll on or off the property. We have free ranging chickens, a hidden spring surrounded by two creeks and wild plums. Happy Valley is a secret little gem of Santa Cruz. Plenty of space for relaxing, and amazing location for both convenience and adventures. (2 of the 3 sites have the tubs please read individual descriptions to find out if the one you chose has one)
Great space, great people, great vibes, great location. Equipped kitchen.
We loved it.
We did however only bring some wool blankets & sheets and I’d say for location 3 (Franky the caravan) - it needs a space heater or winter approved sleeping bags. It was crazy cold at night.
We will be back!
First Hipcamp experience perfection! Coming from bustling San Francisco this campsite was the perfect place to enjoy a slower pace for the weekend. The amenities were great! Kitchen very convenient. We got fresh eggs which was nice and also used the wood barrel sauna. Patricia was a lovely host. Thank you so much!!
We stayed at Campsite 1 — while it was close to our neighbors, it still felt very private and peaceful. There are a few folks who live on the property, all of whom were incredibly kind and contributed to a welcoming sense of community.
The outdoor communal kitchen was well-equipped with all the right gadgets, though we mostly used our own gear to cook so we could enjoy the privacy. Our host was so sweet — they would occasionally stop by the communal space to check in and see how things were going, which we really appreciated.
One of the highlights was visiting the chickens and feeding them greens — such a treat!
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a mix of community and solitude
Loved getting to stay at Patricia and Ezra's place. The campsite itself was private and had its own tub + dedicated space to put a tent. There was also a lovely communal area for cooking and relaxing which was a bonus. The hosts were super friendly as well! Would stay here again
Patricia’s site was very nice! We loved all the amenities and information that was provided before we arrived. Would definitely return to spend more time here! Thank you🫶
