Hilltop Vineyard Dome Glamping

Dome Site 4 - Hilltop Vineyard

The most beautiful, luxurious and well setup dome camp of all time! The setting was so beautiful and tranquil, the amenities were so clean and welcoming! Our crew had the best time star gazing, wine-sipping and snores-making at Aaron’s camp. Highly recommend!

Fun dome camping!

This was my first time dome camping and it was really fun! The sky was clear that night and you could see stars from the dome. The host was great, thank you!

Easy to find, lots of space, chill atmosphere. I added a guest on last minute also and it was no problem. Would definitely stay here again! Good spot for dogs as well.

As many others have said, the hill top spots (1-3) aren’t much for privacy or amenities, but they’re clean, level, nice and peaceful, simple really. Easy in and out access of the spots with a really nice view. Might be a little steep price wise for what they are, but all in all we’re happy with the stop and would definitely return for another stay.

Dome Site 4 - Hilltop Vineyard

My stay was great! I loved the beautiful view of the sky and vineyard. The place is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with great accommodations for both cold and warm weather. This was my first glamping experience, and it was incredibly comfortable. Aaron responds quickly to any questions, making the stay even more enjoyable.

I loved glamping at Aaron's dome glamping. The drive to the site is also beautiful, the views were pretty as well. We really had fun and would definitely come back! The only thing is the LED strip light on site 4 wasn't working, it would've been a good lighting for videos but it wasn't a big deal. It was still worth it!

A great drive up into the hills and located well for Santa Cruz area. Aaron was a massive help with our booking and helping us out of a sticky situation! Many thanks.

Perfect Glamping spot.

This place is incredibly peaceful, tucked away in a serene vineyard setting, complete with a charming fire pit and conveniently located restrooms. Aaron, the host, was exceptionally responsive and went out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable. The space is cozy, featuring a portable heater and nearly all the essential amenities you'd need. If you're planning a winter visit, as I did, be prepared for chilly nights. However, there’s a heated blanket available—which we discovered a bit later—that makes all the difference! The tranquil ambiance, the soothing silence, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature with minimal noise truly make this a relaxing retreat.

I absolutely adored this place! It was exceptionally clean and incredibly relaxing. The privacy it offered made it even better, and at night, the stargazing was breathtaking with planes flying by. The bathroom is conveniently close, too. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return, especially when it rains!

Top experience ✨

We had an amazing stay, the domes are equipped with everything you need, they are such a unique experience. Host is top, very responsive he even gave us some recommendations in the area. Couldn’t have chosen a better place for my friend’s birthday celebration. Highly recommended for a glamping experience.

Luxury camping experience

With kids ·

Site 2 - Hilltop Vineyard

We were on site 4 & 5. Beautiful view of the vineyard. The dome was very comfortable with AC and electric outlets. There were fire pits with woods. A nice shed with hot water shower and flush toilet steps away. very clean & super soft linens! Overall very new & clean. Fantastic experience. The temperature was a bit hotter than normal Bay Area temperatures due to its valley setting. For our stay, say San Jose is around 80 degrees - when we arrived in 4pm it felt a bit hot, but at night it got cooler and pleasant. I would not go on a hot day.

Site was ok. Very close to the house and not much privacy, costs too much for what it is. Didn’t even stay the second day I booked, ended up finding some BLM land.

A fantastic glamping experience - comfortable beds, hot shower, flush toilet. Loved being tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains on a vineyard. So many birds and baby bunnies. Nice to be able to make a fire. Hop skip and a jump from so much to see and do!

Fantastic quiet, peaceful spot in nature. Lots of room for our Sprinter van, and a short drive to the beach if you want. The road from Los Gatos is a little meandering, but entering from Scott’s Valley / Santa Cruz is easy.

Camping in a dome

With kids ·

Dome Site 4 - Hilltop Vineyard

Camping on Aaron’s land in the dome was a super unique experience! The site felt pretty secluded and provided a lot of amenities that we otherwise would have had to bring (running water, seating, firewood, etc). We arrived at the peak of a heat wave, but having a/c in the dome made it very bearable. The bathroom and shower is also very clean and made for an enjoyable experience!

Nice little spot that’s not too far away to feel like you’ve gotten away from the city. The dome was cool but an absolute greenhouse in the heat, thankfully they installed an AC and heater in case it’s cold! The bathroom is nice and clean with a solid toilet and shower. I would recommend bringing something to mitigate insects and something to do as there is only a fire pit (with firewood) provided to have fun with.

Beautiful Vineyard and Stars

My fiance and I recently wanted to do a trip to Santa Cruz to hang out for the day and to do a camping trip. We came across this location that was pretty close by and thought how fun it would be to stay inside a transparent dome for the night; turns out we really enjoyed it. Driving up to the location was really easy to find with the directions given. The accommodations were really well thought out with a fully functional bathroom a few feet away from the domes and a few fire pits and tables to enjoy the outdoor weather. Once night came, the domes are pointed at just the right angle to be able to see the moon slowly drift across the sky. I would definitely go again and bring more friends to enjoy the stay.

Lovely, basic spot

It was so great to find this little gem last minute! The drive from San Jose in our 24’ Sprinter van was epic, but would NOT recommend that route for a longer RV. The site was one of three on an open, grassy area just off the driveway, next to a sweet little vineyard. We didn’t need any amenities or privacy for our quick overnight, but for a longer stay this might not be the place. The tranquil quiet was punctuated only by the sound of song birds, quail and wild turkeys. Foggy morning was perfect for sleeping in. So very grateful

This was a great location for a quiet getaway. Nestled away in the Santa Cruz mountain, you will love this spot if you are looking for a relaxing, yet original glamping option. Aaron was a great host and responded to messages within minutes. I would highly recommend!

We arrived to a freshly mown field, which then caused a s to have a tent and car full of grass clippings. I am very allergic so this was a rough stay for me. We were trying to watch the sunset while the guy doing the mowing was completing his work, noisy and distracting as it was so close -so not ideal. The sites 1-4 are very close to the house and you are pretty much looking inside their house, or you can turn and see the pretty hillside on the other side. It was quiet, lots of birds and turkeys and pretty hills, but won’t be staying again.

I had an incredible time at Aaron and Sarah's Hipcamp property! Parking for our trailer was excellent and hassle-free. The property itself was amazing, with beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere. The availability of domes on the property was an added bonus, and I can't wait to try them out in the future. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Aaron and Sarah's property for a memorable getaway.
