Under the Coastal Redwoods
Hosted by Teresita · Aptos, California
2 sites · RV, Tent · 20 acres
Camp and experience the towering canopies of a coastal redwood forest up close on a truly unique off-grid property. Our land is filled with redwoods, mossy trails, and massive ancient stumps shaped by natural knots and years of history, creating a peaceful, grounding place to reconnect with nature.
We’re just 15 minutes from Aptos Village, with amazing restaurants, wineries, and the beaches of Rio Del Mar nearby, giving you the perfect balance of forest seclusion and easy coastal access.
While you’re here, you can unwind in hammocks under the redwood canopy, gather around the gas fire pit for cozy evenings and stargazing, or rinse off in our handcrafted outdoor driftwood shower with hot water and beautiful views of the surrounding forest.
This is a place to rest, explore, and feel fully immersed in both forest and coast, where redwoods, ocean air, and simple living come together.
