Loved this site and would highly recommend! The water spigot was very convenient. Definitely need 4WD to get down to the site comfortably. I had 2WD and had to park my car at the top of the lot. Thank you Scott for being a great host!

Get lost in the woods!

Tent ·

This special place gave us such a warm welcome. Being tucked away in the middle of the trees and having the chance to truly connect with nature was exactly the experience I was looking for — and this magical place offers just that. It’s a rustic kind of camping, and I think that’s what makes it even more special. It reminds you how beautiful it can be to slow down and enjoy the days with simple things. Scott was very responsive and attentive, and we had great communication throughout our stay. Thank you for such a beautiful experience! 🤍

The camp sites are surrounded by redwoods and it absolutely looks beautiful. With all its beauty, the road leading to the camp sadly is very bumpy and is good for only four-wheel drive cars . We had difficulty to go up the road. If the road were paved, our stay at the camp would be more enjoyable.

DON’T GO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 4WD

Tent ·

Loved the property and the views of all the trees. However the campsites 1,2, and 6 are very close to each other and made it hard to sleep at night since no rules are actually enforced. The campsite numbers are hard to see because they’re small numbers nailed into trees. You’ll need to use the bathroom outside in nature because the toilet they provide was filled literally to the brim. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 4WD just don’t go. Hiking your stuff down will be super annoying and theirs almost no where to park if you choose to park up top.

Yay!

I loved camping here. Stayed in spot 6 it was awesome. Just be aware of what you are getting into, composter toilet in a shed like thing, but we were prepared for that. 4wd is definitely necessary for spot 6. Again we knew all of this going in and were very happy with it. Beautiful spot, came with chairs and fire pit and trash cans. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Keep looking

Loved the nature but the site and grounds are not kept up. I wouldn’t recommend at least site 6 for children and the other two sites are right next the to compost toilet. Very rough roads, they are not kidding when they say 4x4 is required. Host was initially responsive when I arrived and couldn’t find site 6 but then was non responsive m, thankfully other campers pointed me in the right direction. Road noise and some type of construction noise in the morning. Plenty of other places actually try to make their campers feel welcome I’d go there.

The camp area was very nice, it was secluded, yet close to everything. The host was very responsive. The site toward the entrance looked nice and at first glance, clean. Our site, site 7, was very spacious and the nature part of it, was great. However, it was very messy. We had a family of 14 with lots of kids. Toward the entrance there’s a platform, we all crunched ourselves in there because everywhere else, there was some type of mess. There was a canopy with old car seats removed from vehicles, there was an inflatable tunnel with trash in there, there was old rolled up rugs, then a dome that’s missing a lot of green tarp, then a random ladder with a random solo-wall. There’s just a lot of junk everywhere. Again, it’s located in a very nice part of the woods, feels safe, great communication and has a lot of potential, but all that junk needs to go. It isn’t inviting to a family with kids.

Great location of adults and kids. Perfect place to roast marshmallows and look at the stars. Thank you!

Cute spot! We enjoyed it, the spots are pretty close together but if you’re alone, it’s a nice quiet place. If you don’t have a 4wheel drive car, be prepared to hike up & down a steep driveway, not impossible but definitely tiring.

Beautiful space! We loved the redwoods and how close it was to Santa Cruz.

This was my 4 year old son's first camping trip and we had a blast! The site was what I expected based on the host's description and the other reviews I read. We loved using our campsite as a springboard for visiting Santa Cruz and we had fun looking for banana slugs.

The land was beautiful! The camp sites are pretty close together but no one was there so it was nice and peaceful. The toilet it a pit toilet with a curtain to close it, but as long as you expect it, it’s not bad.

Nice place overall! Site 6 had the most privacy, and the place would feel a bit crowded if all sites were full (it wasn't for our visit). The camp overall was exactly what we were looking for! Minimalistic but perfectly cozy, quiet, and scenic. We would stay here again in the future. Great proximity to many state parks in the area.

Camping at REDWOOD PARADISE

Tent · With kids ·

A peaceful retreat among the redwoods. Redwood paradise offered the perfect escape from the city heat. Our site was tucked under a canopy of trees, which kept things cool and private. The facilities were well-maintained. It was a great 'basecamp' for hiking the nearby trails. Perfect for families or anyone looking to disconnect. Mr. Scott is really helpful person. Its my request to him, if is possible to give shower facility at your camping site then it be a awesome. Else every is good.

Camping amongst the trees

Tent ·

This was such a beautiful place to camp. Everything was perfect. It was SO green and peaceful. The site was clean, had chairs & a fire pit. We just wanted to be amongst the trees and this was the perfect place to have that experience. Would definitely go again!

There was previous trash that was sprayed across campsite. The tap water was murky and not usable -Camp parking was used for personal parking spot and by a yellow truck. - There were also metal sheet parts around the campsite which made it look unnatural or that we were in backyard of houses - No accessible hiking trails around or on site - Bathroom could be improved considering this was a paid campsite. There was limited are to sit down. It was good to have toilet paper.

Overall the location is beautiful. However we wished the hipcamp (and site) had been better marked, campfire rules had been communicated, and there was a bit more space between sites. It’s not walkable to trails so be prepared to drive if you want to do anything other than sit and relax.

Cute spot! I was impressed at how secluded and peaceful it felt while still being within ~15 minute drive of Santa Cruz. As mentioned in the description/other reviews, the road down to the site was quite steep so make sure your car can handle it, or be prepared to walk a short distance downhill.

Beautiful place

I love camping in the forest, it was absolutely beautiful. Only downside like everybody says is that it’s a little rough getting down to the campsites. Scott is an incredible host and was very helpful in directing us to the campsite as we arrived later and had trouble finding it. Make sure to have four wheel drive if you do not want to walk back and forth from your campsite to your car. It’s a bit of a walk especially with stuff. If you have four wheel drive though, it will be awesome.
