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).

Your Own Tent @ The Secret Gardens
Hobbit Dream
Yenyen's establishment far exceeded all expectations. Beautiful spot with high functioning amenities available. Secret Gardens is an artist's masterful Hobbit-Dream-creation. Shower is very good. Highway noise heard, yet worth a repeat none the less. We had a bunch of fun staying here, and enjoyed ourselves absoloodle.

Glamp @ The Secret
Stunning property, lovely stay
Yeyen's property is just unbelievably beautiful and charming. It's like stepping into a naturized fairyland! We glamped in a stationary tent that was made of yurt-like material with small beds pre-made and ready for us. On a road trip delivering daughter to college there was no room in the car for camping gear but we love camping. This was our perfect solution. Just off of Highway 1, but feels like you're in another world; so calming and peaceful. We would LOVE to stay here again and again, perhaps in one of the cabana/cabins next time just to try another point of view. Thank you for being such a lovely host, Yeyen!

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

Your (Medium size) RV @ The Secret
Blown away beauty
Just wow. Such kind hosts and the most gorgeous property. Every detail was so thoughtfully put together and in place. Close access to Manresa Beach and shopping center. The property felt so peaceful and safe, all the common areas were extremely clean and had anything we could ever ask for or need. Scared to say too many nice things because this secret gem is going to be booked all the time. Thank you for hosting our family.

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!"
