#9 possible UFO sightings

Before I say anything about my stay, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here!!! My dog Ringo and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed every moment of the most peaceful and serene campsite we’ve ever stayed at. No UFO 👽 sightings, but the show that the stars put on was absolutely breathtaking. The air was also so crisp and clear, which was very much appreciated, being I live in San Francisco. The drive up is definitely suited for a vehicle with good suspension. Mine is ok, but wow! I enjoyed it though, and what I saw along the way was like something out of a dream. I spoke with one of my camp neighbors and they said they had a hard time finding the place, so I thought I’d share what did: Make sure to copy and paste the coordinates into your maps. Once you get close to the campground, go back to Hipcamp and click for directions. It will take you directly to your site. I can’t wait to camp here again. Praying I’ll be able to get the same site. Thank you, Noah, for opening up such a wonderful place. ✌🏼🥰

#6 Epic private camping

The views from the campground are really stunning and unique. We also appreciated the privacy of our campsite (no6). But we chased every inch of (barely existing) shade during the day, it got very hot and sunny. It’s not grassy it’s very dry, dusty and rocky. For the facilities and quality of the campground I think it’s overpriced, also the charge of 40$ for propane, regardless of the time or amount of using is not faire regulated. It’s really more about the view that made it „worth it“

#3 Scenic Valley View

Cool campground, secluded with great views and good amenities (good toilets for camping and water spigot at each site is great) but not without some challenges. First is that it’s a bit hard to find. The directions tell you where not to go, but it’s not very clear which direction you should take. We got there via Loma Prieta which wasn’t mentioned in the instructions. Bring bug spray as the flies and gnats are plentiful (and pretty uncomfortable) as well as a shade structure as some of the campsites are without any tree cover and in direct sun all day. We stayed at campground #3. If we come back, we would definitely opt for campground #1 which has the best views.

#11 Extra large group Campsite

Wanted a campsite up in the mountains yet close to the coast last minute on the 4th of July weekend. Everything was booked up except this listing. Scenic drive on the way up, amazing views of the valley/sunrise/sunset, toilets, running water to wash hands, trash bins and additional add-ons available to enhance the experience if you want. I was bummed I didn’t bring a group with me with the size of the site available. Noah was quick to answer when I called with questions and has the sites spread out perfectly for privacy. Site #5

#7 Private Sunrise Plato

It was absolutely breathtaking. We took a little walk around the campsite during our free time and discovered this spot — it’s honestly incredible. If just a few of the trees in front were trimmed down a bit, you’d have a direct view of the stunning sunrise over the sea of clouds. The scenery is truly unbeatable! If I could upload photos here, I would absolutely show everyone just how beautiful this place really is!

#1 Sand Point Panoramic Valley View

Highly recommend spot #1. I needed a place to get away for a Friday night, and this worked out perfectly. It’s close by, for me it took about 1.5 hrs to get here from Redwood City. Super private and the views were amazing!

#7 Private Sunrise Plato

Great site, way up in the mountains overlooking the valley. Quiet, secluded, everything you need. Water spigots at every site, out-house shared by several sites, and a thousand miles of stars and nature over head. Plenty of space at every site. Directions were easy to follow. Would definitely stay here again.

#3 Scenic Valley View

It was beautiful at campsite 3 (we peaked at site 1 and it was beautiful as well). Having the propane fire place available was nice. I would only say use caution if raining as space gets a bit muddy and hauling our trailer out (in our 2wd Tacoma) was a challenge BUT we made it and otherwise enjoyed our stay.

#6 Epic private camping

The views were beautiful, the spot was fairly private which was lovely, and Noah was extremely helpful and communicative and came down and helped us get the grill going right away when we had issues with it!! Overall probably my favorite and best experience camping so far completely loved it!! Thank you Noah!

#1 Sand Point Panoramic Valley View

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Campsite was clean and the view was amazing. I highly recommend having a high clearance vehicle to reach the campgrounds. Bring a portable toilet wouldn't hurt.

#7 Private Sunrise Plato

The experience was not quite what we expected, especially for $90 per night. We had understood this to be a private campsite, however there was another site located fairly close by with a larger group staying there. Unfortunately, the noise and music continued until after 1:00 AM, which made it difficult for us to sleep. For the price, we were expecting a more private and peaceful experience. It would be helpful for the host to be clearer in the listing about site proximity and to enforce stricter quiet-hour rules so guests can better enjoy the setting.

#1 Sand Point Panoramic Valley View

This campsite (#1) was a beaut! The view of the valley was stunning and made for such an eventful trip. There was ample space for a large car and a large tent, plenty of room that included a picnic table and trash can. The loo was also a short walk away. The drive here was also an adventure. Absolutely recommend this hidden gem.

#1 Sand Point Panoramic Valley View

As others mentioned, the road up the mountain was very bumpy, and took me an extra 15 minutes as I was worried for my rental car, but it was doable. Instructions were clear and I was able to find my campsite without issue even in the dark. The view was beautiful, just as described, and the site was secluded and spacious.

#7 Private Sunrise Plato

This is a neat little spot where you're perched above the clouds with the surrounding bay area and hills below. Despite living in the area most of my life, I've never made it up this high in the santa cruz mountains. The spot feels remote with plenty of privacy, though definitely needs a solid vehicle to tackle the last few miles of dirt road.
