Had an amazing camping experience at Derek's RV! The picturesque scene on his land added a touch of magic to the adventure. Grateful for the warm hospitality, and our puppy loved every moment too. Highly recommend for a unique getaway! 🏕️ #CampingMagic

Derek's trailer was more than what we needed for our quick weekend getaway. It provided everything we needed for a cozy experience.

I will never go back to traditional camping for my yearly anniversary ever again. My partner and I were totally convinced after this, we rather now have a relaxed camping or "glamping" anytime. We absolutely love the regional area; it situates in the outskirts of Santa Cruz, in the Aptos woods but still very much tamed compared to like Mendocino wayyy up north.
Camper trailer itself had all the amenities and commodities in a tiny travel home and it felt that way, homey!
We had some very minor water issue with the trailer bathroom in the middle of the night and we thought it would be handled in the morning. But instead, our host, Derek, came over as soon as I sent a message and fixed the issue in less than 5 minutes! Very friendly and astute guy.
The area surrounding the trailer grounds is near Sand Rock Farm, an event lodging, usually popular for events like weddings. Which says a lot of the area; beautiful modern woodsy atmosphere. There is also a small trail around the woods property for a morning walk or jog. No strange critters or wild vermins, nothing encountered except the very sweet and friendly dogs from the owners.
The only minor inconvenience, but to be honest is not even comparable to the great experience we had. We advice future campers to arrive during the day. Arriving at night can be a bit difficult to spot the property entrance without GPS.
Other than that, we enjoy our experience and would be our top choice to return to. Thanks Derek!

Grounds and camper were spotless, great host. I was visited by a buck and owls late at night and some hummingbirds in the morning. Easy access, good WiFi. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!

Perfect glamping getaway
Loved our glamping getaway here! Derek’s trailer was super clean, well stocked, and cozy. The location was amazing- close to beaches and breweries. The view was beautiful and we had no issues with bugs. Loved the fire pit too. Highly recommend!
