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.

Very beautiful and peaceful retreat! The flowers smelled lovely. The stars were stunning!!! It was a narrow winding road to get to but fine to drive if you’re confident on those types of roads. The camper was comfy without a heater even though it was chilly at night outside! We enjoyed making coffee with the hot water kettle and my aero press. Would definitely stay again!

Sweet little spot to disconnect from the day to day hustle. View from the fire pit is magical and the camper is cozy. Matt was very nice, highly recommend

Cozy little spot - we loved sitting by the gas fire pit reading and sipping wine. We were toasty in the camper despite it being chilly at night. It was a great location to depart from to explore Big Sur and area for the weekend.

Beautiful little spot! My 6 yr daughter and I had a blast. We were so cozy and relaxed, listening to the rain patter on the roof. The bed is super comfortable! Enjoyed the fire in the evening, and did some wonderful day trips to the surrounding beaches and forests. This spot is the perfect little adventure and getaway.
