40 Acres of majestic redwoods bordering Wilder Ranch State Park gives you access to thousands of acres of excellent hiking and mountain biking right from your campsite. Miles of single-track and fire roads in this world-class mountain bike destination lead you through the redwoods to sunny meadows with sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the Monterey Bay. Conveniently located above the westside of Santa Cruz, our site will give you easy access to scenic Westcliff Drive, Natural Bridges State Beach, downtown Santa Cruz, quaint Felton, Henry Cowell Redwoods state park as well as incredibly scenic & private North Coast beaches. Please note tent camping is a rain-or-shine activity. :)

Loved the tent camping experience, beautiful nature walks in the area. However there were a few suspicious people walking around late hours, not sure if they were local residents or random stranglers.

I really enjoyed this place! We picked 6 because it seemed a little more distracted from the others and it was perfect! Very peaceful

Secluded but close to attractions!

Scott’s property is beautiful! It is surrounded by big trees and feels secluded, but is just a short drive from Santa Cruz and other attractions. The campsite is rustic but has enough amenities to be comfortable, like running water, a trash can, and composting toilet. Scott was communicative and friendly, which helped during our last-minute reservation.

Gorgeous land, I got some good nature therapy! Unlike the other sites this one is built out a little bit with a deck, lights, and electricity. Thank you Scott for your hospitality!

Not worth the price.. 40% to much
The bathroom thing was a bit weird. Not “ quiet” as advertised. Very loud party music, not saying it was at camp but it was very close. The place was clean and the tent spots were flat. I could not found the water spout but honestly I didn’t ask either.
