This is a brand new listing on Hipcamp. The Secret Gardens is located about 2 minutes drive from the beach and the Monterey bay, about 12 miles away South of Santa Cruz. The beaches here are more peaceful and spread out as long as your eyes can see. We are 33 miles away from Monterey aquarium but you almost don't have to go anywhere when you are here. There are many things to do such as hiking at Land of Medicine Buddha or Forrest of Nisene Mark, Stroll around at Capitola Village, Have coffee and do awesome thrift shopping in downtown Aptos or in Soquel, Get some free foods from Free Food church on Wednesday evening (Yes, locally grown organic produce!), have a picnic on the cliff to watch the sunset, this town kind of remind you what's like to be in town without big boxes and franchise stores everywhere, life as its finest. This campground is also a great setting for your celebrations with two stages, a celebration area, a stone fired pizza oven and a sound systems (These are extras).

The Arabian night cabin
We love the little escape at the Secret Garden! The place it self is just like the name suggested, a hidden gem with so many unique characters. The shared bathrooms and kitchen are well equipped and clean! The use of flamingos is so fun! As for our room, we love the hammock-like bed design, very unique and natural! Highly recommend

The Spacious Boat House
This place is magnificent. My family was very comfortable in the boathouse. The beds were comfortable! The kitchen facilities were well stocked. The grounds were lovely...but the best part was the woodworking throughout the facility. This place is so well planned and constructed. There are comfortable. secluded outdoor seating areas. People could gather around the outdoor fireplace and share S'mores. There are beaches close by. I can't say enough about this place! My granddaughter observed, "This place should get a triple good review!"

Your (Big) RV @ The Secret Gardens
Awesome stay.
Dreamy, whimsical place. Amazing landscaping, great showers, outdoor cooking/dining space. This was a fantastic way to end our family trek through some CA national parks. We will be back.

Great location. Beautiful luxury communal camping. Clean and top end facilities with a lovely aesthetic. To be enjoyed with others- not a wilderness experience.

Hippie-wonderland
Yeyen’s land is a hippie-wonderland! So much cool attention to detail, and Yeyen and her husband are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. 100% recommend.
