Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
For over 40 years, Sacred Earth has been cherished by many as an example of sustainable off-grid living immersed in nature. While it is just 12 minutes drive from the village of Ben Lomond, 30 from Santa Cruz beaches, and 90 minutes to Berkeley, this valley feels as though you are deep in the wilds, complete with old growth Redwoods you can stand inside and far- reaching majestic Madrones. The land is home to the headwaters of Love Creek, with springs to be found in fern gullies and gentle babbling brooks. The breathtaking ridgetop has expansive views down the San Lorenzo Valley southeast and westerly views to Ben Lomond Mountain, the final hill between this place and the Pacific. Don’t miss the sunrise with meandering mist rising off the valley. Large sites allow for family and group gatherings/activities, while small tucked in tent sites provide hidden nooks. Hiking trails (open in dry season only) encircle the land and allow for moderate walks throughout its mostly vertical terrain. What is truly dynamic about Sacred Earth is the sheer diversity of plant and animal species combined with its proximity to world-class surfing, sailing, scuba, mountain biking, hiking, birdwatching, etc. Make your stay in Santa Cruz Mountains at SER.

This large camp site that has room for 3 tents around a central circle. It is a nestled cove of tall redwoods with a fairy circle perfect for chilling inside. You can drive up to this site. This site is accessible to 2 wheel drive cars. If you have 4 wheel drive you can visit the ridgetop by car. There is a porta potty adjacent to the site. It is a great spot for a family getaway, pitstop or reunion of any kind. Please reach of if you wish to host a larger gathering for a day on our ridgetop. ( There is a small white puppy named Kayla who is very social and playful who lives down the hill. While we try to keep her contained, should she visit you, please text us and we will come collect her. She likes flip flops and small toys so please keep your shoes and small toys inside your tent.)

Tent site · Sleeps 2
This site is nestled in our woodland trails with sunset light and westerly breezes pouring through the notch in our northwest ridge. This is among our more private sites and has a parking pull in just by the site. Port-o-Pod is 300 feet down hill. Or if you like there is a traditional composting toilet opposite the parking 50' away. It is also close to the our beloved "Sweet Spot", a common area where we often hold counsel and watch sunset. Plus easy access to our Manzanita and Westerly Vista trails. Peaceful.
