Come and camp like its 1949 in our retro Boles Aero trailer at Fern Ridge Camper. Much like Airstream, Boles Aero was building top of the line campers out of aircraft grade aluminum; providing chill vibes and highly functional spaces. Come enjoy our blast from the past in our completely original Boles Aero trailer. Apart from the camper itself, which sleeps two comfortably, our site comes equipped with outdoor dining, string lights, and a fire pit to enjoy the stars. Situated at the front of our property, the camper provides a private feel, while still being conveniently located. 10 minutes from town, 15 minutes from the closest beach, and 30 minutes from the beach boardwalk our site is close enough to all Santa Cruz has to offer, while secluded enough to enjoy the natural spaces unique to the Santa Cruz mountains.Come and camp like its 1949 in our retro Boles Aero trailer at Fern Ridge Camper.

We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous airstream! It's so cozy and feels very private. The fire pit and the views of the forest were spectacular.

Fern Ridge Camper

I had a very comfortable short stay in the Fern Ridge Camper! My kid and I enjoyed the snug, wood-paneled camper experience. We were able to get groceries and supplies in town before driving through the forest to get to the site. We used the built-in propane stove and outdoor electric grill to cook a simple dinner, and sat by the propane fire pit to roast marshmallows. We had fun listening to the sounds of frogs and admiring the night sky. Bedding was warm, mattress was comfortable, and outdoor toilet was easy to use as well. As night was still chilly, we were able to keep the air in the camper warmer using the plug-in electric heater. Wifi was provided and essential to be able to stay in communication with the host. Matt was kind and friendly and answered all my questions. Grateful for this fun experience!

Great stay

Stayed with my son for one night, was a cozy and fun spot. The camper is a very cool piece of history and really adds to the experience. The bed is a little small if you are 6 feet or more. Matt is really welcoming and I highly recommend this spot.

We loved staying at Fern Ridge! The whole set-up was quite conducive to a relaxing visit. Matt was friendly, low-key, and consistent with any necessary communication. 10/10 would recommend!

This is a very fun stay for 2! The camper is cozy and the fire pit with view is great way to relax. The host Matt is very accommodating and helpful! Would definitely recommend it for a fun get-away that isn’t far away from great food!
