This is a great place to get away and come camp here in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a perfect location for tent camping or come park your trailer or Motorhome/Bus. We have great hiking in the near area and 5 miles away there is great mountain biking trails. A world renoun mountain bike spot with intermediate to experienced trails for riders of all levels. 5 miles down the road as well is buzzard lagoon and is a great Dirt biking/4-wheeling location. It is a fun spot for all off road inthusiast! Your camping site is on a flat plateu and is an ideal spot to park your trailer, motorhome or tent camp. With Complete privacy with views of the pacific ocean and South county's Monterey bay with a 180 degree view as well as San jose and Morgan Hill. For the wine inthusiast, Loma Prieta winery is 5.5 miles away along with Windy Oaks Winery that is 3.7 miles away that is located on the "Wine trail" that has alots of winerys to offer in a beautiful location. A Day of fun for the family at Gilroy Gardens that is 15.5 miles away. The beach is 30-40 minutes away with great surfing and body boarding up and down the coastline. When in route once you get off the paved road from north or south stay on the dirt road for 15-20 more minutes. The location is very private it is on its own parcel with a gate. If you leave the property please be mindful of staying off of other private properties. We will see you soon!This site is a beautiful flat with its own private gate for you.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Nestled atop the Santa Cruz mountains, this campsite offers campers a secluded experience with breathtaking views, particularly at sunrise. While the drive up may be challenging with its bumpy roads, many find the adventure worth it for the quiet solitude and panoramic vistas. The site is well-equipped for privacy, though it lacks natural shade during the day and can have some mosquito activity until nightfall. Despite some navigational challenges, campers appreciate the host's communication and the proximity to hiking and biking trails.
