Rented out the entire site and it was the perfect spot for our group of 12 people and 2 dogs. Portapotties were clean upon arrival. Lights added great ambiance and Laura was responsive. It’s a flat spot and worked great for our needs!

Really enjoyed our stay! It was so great to be able to rent out all four sites and know we wouldn’t be a bother for other campers. It’s also so nice to be able to have a mix of tents and camping trailers and sprinters and whatever people have to camp in. A lot of places put you in separate areas depend depending on the style of camping you’re using. It was nice to be a little out of town but so close to beaches. My suggestion would be bring some form of shade for your tent or vehicle. I believe they’ll be setting up shade. It was super clear and hot hot the weekend we camped; we got there after dark and weren’t prepared for how blazing hot and sunny it would be in the AM. It was really beautiful and quiet at night! Laura was really responsive and friendly!

Had a great time at the campground. We really enjoyed having fires at the common area. Restrooms were clean and there is a sink with running water. Walked to beach in about 25 minutes and it was an easy walk.
Beautiful little spot. We enjoyed the area and fire place. I liked hearing the sheep calls in the distance.

We really enjoyed the set up. Was very pretty at night with the lights. Great to have a fire and bbq. Near the beach is a total plus. Wonderful night in a beautiful place! Would definitely go again and recommend!
Such a peaceful area to camp in! Not too far from Capitola and Santa Cruz. We stayed at site 3, which was the only one available for the night we needed. I would have liked the campsites to be a little more spread out, but they weren’t terribly close. - I think I would like site 4 next time, since it was more on the edge, but also closer to the portable toilets.
At first, it seemed like we had the whole campground/area to ourselves, but all three other sites ended up being occupied, before we came back (from our visit to Roaring Camp in Felton for “Sequoias at Night”).
Thankfully, the occupants in 2 and 4 were quiet. But the occupants in site 1 were quite loud and throwing their football near my vehicle. - We also came back to the fire pit having hot coals in it. I didn’t want to go to bed with that situation taking place, so I ended up making multiple trips to the sink with a bucket that I had, to cool down the coals/wood. That took painstakingly long, because the water was trickling out of the faucet. — Laura was kind enough to help (over the phone via Hipcamp messages) walk me through trying to fix the issue of the low water pressure, but my attempts failed to fix it. She wasn’t able to come that night, due to being out of town. But she did come the next morning, when we were close to leaving, and she was able to fix the water pressure issue. (She was also very kind and thankful for all of my efforts.)
(Forgot to mention the many holes from animals, not sure what kind.)

We loved our stay!! Beautiful views, clean community area and bathrooms.
Great little spot! We were in campsite 4 and absolutely loved it for the added privacy and wind protection. The campsite is a short drive to the beach, which makes for great day adventures. The wood chips also make for an extra clean / minimal dirt camping experience. The added bonus was the deer that greeted us upon our arrival! And our pup loved it :)

Very peaceful, nice amenities like bocce, cornhole, and a totally decent porto potty. It was a nice place to just hang out and watch deer, turkeys, and hawks.

I was lucky enough to have the whole site to myself and my pup, it was an awesome camp out. Manresa beach is super convenient just about a 6min drive away, close to coffee & food. The site restrooms were clean, weather was perfect, it was awesome watching the deer, turkeys, even got to camp under a full moon. Absolutely NO complaints, I will definitely be staying here again when nearby!
Such an awesome find! If you are looking for a roomy but intimate site with fab amenities than look no further. There are only a couple of sites and the host Laura has set up some truly great games, and a huge, adorable lighted common area with fireplace to enjoy the ambience! The deer and wild turkeys were a lovely surprise and the land itself was great for camping. Will definitely head back. 😍😍😍😍
Sarah was very helpful and had a great time staying at her place. We enjoyed the site, common area and playing bocce ball and corn hole. We also walked to the beach and enjoyed the perfect weather. Everything was perfect.

Great charming spot near the shore with nice valley views, super well equiped with games and cooking/sitting area. Would come back for sure 😁
This was a wonderful camping experience with loved ones, beautiful little spot, with a shared relaxing area, string lights is a vibe and it’s very peaceful. Everything worked perfectly, from the lights, fire pit and water. Has a porta-potty to use the restroom, which is a plus. And the beach is a nice walk with beautiful trees, flowers and brought a sense of enlightenment. Very well priced too and we enjoyed every second of it. Thank you.
Beautiful set up! We loved the common area with the string lights and yard games. Nice peaceful area for the kids to run around in without worrying about busy streets. Host was super responsive and the sites were well maintained. Being just a short drive from the beach made our camping trip wonderful!

Beautiful grounds. Love the fire place and string lights.
The site was accurately described and well marked. Location was great when we needed a place in the Sanra Cruz area. It was great waking up to deer, wild turkeys, and farm horses.

What a lovely place to camp! The community space with twinkle lights was great to hang out in. We saw lots of deer, turkeys and birds. It was so close to Manresa Beach and a fun bike ride! We would love to come again, and I highly recommend!
Loved this location, the surroundings, the entire experience! Location was very tidy, easy to find the port-a-potty, had running water (that was also warm), with friendly neighboring folks. Beach was a convenient walk/run (1.5 miles), and it was very quiet at night! Everything was as written, and the experience is one to definitely repeat. Being a stone's throw from Manresa State Beach makes this the perfect location to camp at regularly.
We brought our camper here with our toddler and dog and it was great. The porta potties were very clean. The bocce, corn hole, and axe throwing was free babysitting for us while we got to sit and enjoy the fire :) overall great site if you’re ok with no plug ins or water!
Great location (so close to beaches) and well kept. Laura was super responsive and helpful. Turned into a very fun family gathering!

Cypress Cove 4
Lovely & well cared for spot! Easy access to beach. Outdoor games and fire pit provided in large community area.
The site was fairly quiet except for the screech owl. There was no signage so we were guessing we had the right place. We enjoyed the bocce ball. There were only two horse shoes and a stake so that wasn’t usable. The camp sites for our tables tents and truck. The common fire pit wasn’t a pit, but was an open face wood stove. There was also a barbecue in a common concrete slab area. It had a couple of tables and chairs, which was nice. Close enough to the ocean to hear it a little.
