This is camping made easy. No need to bring your cooking supplies, stoves, barbeque and dinnerwares ! We have them all. If you like to be social and have bonfire and have a nice chat with fellow campers from somewhere else, this is the place for you. We are committed to provide good beds and beddings because we know how important good sleep is (even when you camp!) so we just spent time, money and energy to replace all of our camping mattresses with memory foam mattresses!!! We had people swear that this is the best bed they ever slept in. The campground is located in a serene oakwood grove area of the property. Its a peaceful getaway with an abundance of bird varieties and occasional wild turkeys passing through. Take a stroll around our 5-acre property and catch a breathtaking sunset from the hillside. We're only 11 minutes away from Mount Madonna State Park and just 10 minutes from a local healthy grocery store and yoga studio. The beautiful Pajaro Dunes coastal area is just a 15-minute drive away, and the Santa Cruz Fairground is only two minutes away. Our location is surrounded by family friendly farms such as Gizdich ranch and nurseries, hence why it's considered the salad bowl of the United States. The Santa Cruz beaches are only 15-25 minutes away, while Monterey Bay Aquarium is just 30 minutes away and Gilroy Gardens is about 25 minutes away. The wine trail is also nearby. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, including horseback riding at Mount Madonna Stable, Mount Madonna Retreat Center, hiking at Mount Madonna State Park, wine tastings at various wineries with stunning views, kayaking at Elkhorn Slough or any beaches, yoga at Watsonville Yoga or onsite, swimming, scuba diving in Monterey, visiting the Hanoman temple at Mount Madonna retreat center, and attending any events at the Santa Cruz Fairground. Julie, our campground manager offers horse lessons for anyone starting at age 8 + but not heavier than 180 lbs. The property has 3 stalls for hot showers, 1 hand washing sink, 3 flushable toilettes, 1 communal outdoor kitchen with supplies of cookwares, dishes, mugs, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, coffee mugs, and 1 sink with hot water, 3 fire pits (2 of them is fire burning and 1 of them is propane), camping stoves, 1 gas barbeque and there is an electricity in the communal kitchen area. Propane for fireplace is included and Firewoods are available for sale. Board games, Books, Magazines, Lawn games are available as well as drawing papers and coloring pencils/markers/oil paint for our little artists. Your parking spot is within a very short walking distance and there is a wagon for you to use to haul your belongings to your camp site.

Empathy tent site

Yeyen was super communicative. The campsite is very clean, cozy, and well cared for. The area was quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Delightful Gypsy Wagon

Luxurious camping under the stars!

The environment was very communal and conducive to fellow campers sharing a space. As someone who camped as a Girl Scout, the "glamping" concept was a welcome upgrade! The bedding in the Gypsy Wagon was excellent! The facilities - bathrooms and eating area all provided a convenient and pleasing ambiance. In particular, I very much appreciated how easy it was to simply make the reservation. My husband and I would definitely visit again!

Honesty Tent site

Great campsite. Lots of nice amenities and a good amount of space. The campsite is nestled amongst farm houses, so it isn’t quite as private or expansive as I might have thought from the pictures. But was still great!

Grateful Tent Site

The site was amazing! Warm showers, a communal kitchen, yard games, two shared fire pits; what a cute place to meet new people or spend time with the ones you love. Better yet, they upgraded us for free! It was a magical experience, we would love to come back!

Honesty Tent site

This place is amazing! We were in and out of this place very quickly but it was perfect for camping. The grounds felt very home and safe, and the hosts were very communicative. Would definitely stay here again.
