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.

The Fern Ridge Camper was super cute, well equipped, and in a beautiful location within the Redwood trees of the Aptos forest. Matt was really friendly and attentive. All the features of the camper worked well. Note that the icebox, is not a refrigerator, but an actual old school icebox. This was fine for us, as we travel with a cooler. The WiFi worked well both in the camper and at the cute little patio table. We hope to return.
