Welcome to Tru-Love Ranch! A stones throw from local State Beaches and a central location for visiting Santa Cruz or Monterey. Camp on our viewing deck that overlooks the wetlands known as Harkin's Slough. It is a bird watchers retreat: we have seen just about everything from a finch to a family of osprey's on our property. There is a small plane airport across the way so those "birds" are fun to watch but can be a bit noisy on sunny weekend days. We are also 15 minutes away from Corralitos Wine Trail and the famous Corralitos Market.

Glamping Wetlands Overlook

Great little spot!

Rob is an excellent host, and this little spot is perfect for a few nights. He offered to bring me coffee in the morning, but when I said I don't drink coffee, he asked if I'd like some hot water or tea instead. Feels like you are far away from civilization, but you can go out and get great tacos in minutes. Birds! I saw Black-headed Grossbeak, lots of Acorn Woodpeckers, Red Shouldered Hawk, a whole FAMILY of Osprey, and more. I have a hard time sleeping in new beds, but I found the bed in the tent to be super comfortable! Definitely some airplane noise during "work" hours, but not in the early morning or the evening.

Wetlands Overlook Tent Site

Rob and Jackie are fabulous hosts! What an amazing view to wake up to. Their hospitality is top notch...a bottle of Pinot to welcome us and coffee in the morning! For glamping, all your needs are provided. There's a grill, fire pit, marshmallows and sticks to toast them on the fire. They even left us headlamps to use. We were a ten minute drive to the beach and to the woods. Can't beat it.

Wetlands Overlook Tent Site

Rob’s property is truly a hidden gym! The view is unreal and all of the amenities are a nice bonus. He was an incredible host and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a good stay! I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re planning on adventuring in the Santa Cruz area

Peaceful with Amazing Views

Fantastic experience and amazingly kind host! Great directions, well thought out site and amenities. Rob went above and beyond to make our stay perfect for us and our toddler. Great bird watching and excellent views of the wetlands. Thoughtful touches galore - a bottle of wine for our arrival, toddler sized chair + headlamp, plus made to order French press coffee in the morning. If we find ourselves in the area again we will definitely return! Thank you Rob!

Very Peaceful Camp experience!!

Exceeded expectations! I had a great experience camping on Rob’s land, The property is very peaceful, feels very private, but Rob is accommodating and on top of it if you need anything. Not only that but he provided me with coffee and breakfast in the morning. Great Host! The wall tent was very cozy, the fire pit was a huge bonus. Instructions and communication were very clear and would recommend to a friend any day. Thanks Rob!
