Cute little trailer on a 10 acre farm property. Located just off of scenic highway 1 on a historic property is your very own private campsite. Deck, fire pit, and outdoor shower available. You will be close to world class surfing, hiking, and beaches. Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur are close by as well. Our property was a historic winery back in the 1800's and is now a charming bed and breakfast. Great for up to 2 guests and one dog. Pets are allowed with notice at time of booking!Pull right up to the deck of your private campsite located on our private 10 acre estate. The property was once the site of one of the first wineries in Santa Cruz County. The trailer has heat, A/C, toilet a small kitchen and bathroom and outdoor shower. There is also a queen size memory foam mattress, a dinette for eating, working, etc. and a Smart TV with wifi. The deck has chairs and a gas firepit. Nisene Marks Reedwoods State Park is a quick 2 miles away with amazing hiking and mountain bike trails. Capitola Village is 3 exits away up highway 1 and Carmel and Monterey are about 45 minutes south. Note: the queen size mattress is a queen RV style, which is 73 inches long so if you’re over 6 feet tall, you may need to fold out the dinette bed and sleep slightly diagonally.

Lovely site. Beautiful landscape and a comfortable trailer. 🦉 owls hooting at night were magical. I'd love to come back.

Lovely dog -friendly, clean, comfy well equipped trailer with running water and electricity sitting in the old Orchard. (Yummy apples!) Even has satellite TV. Farm is great, seems worlds away from everything but actually is very close to town of Aptos and Santa Cruz County beaches. Owner Derek most helpful!

My first experience in a trailer was a very positive one, so I will return to Derek's site again, for sure. The trailer has all the elements of home - a stove, fridge, microwave, sink and hot/cold water!!, and a toilet/shower combo. I didn't use most of the amenities or the TV, but it's nice to know they're (including the outside shower facility) available. The bed was firm, much to my relief. The deck area is spacious, and two deck chairs would enable visitors to just really relax/hang out in ideal weather. Lots of land to roam with a pet, too. Derek dropped by, so his hospitality speaks for itself. Easy access to Hwy. 1 is a plus. The entrance sign is just under 1.0 mile from Hwy. 1, so do slow down or you'll miss it the first time driving by.

Glamping in Aptos!
We have only ever tent camped so this was a new experience for us and I think it definitely spoiled us to how convenient camping can be. Derek was super helpful, friendly, and responsive. The campsite was beautiful and peaceful and in a wonderful location for hiking, shopping, dining or just relaxing at the beach. The amenities available at the campsite blew us away and it helped having a private shower and bathroom.

Highly recommend
I stayed two nights in this cute well equipped camper. It was in a lovely quiet spot on private property. Highly recommend, close to sights, restaurants and fantastic sausage markets. The property has a trail for walking and no other camping, just a large house to rent.
