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 loved staying at matt's place - the stars and crickets and trees around there made us super happy. the camper itself is v cute and comfortable and has all the basic stuff you need to charge things, listen to music, make food or coffee etc. the composting toilet might be weird for some but it was def more appealing than one you might find at a campground and was super clean and didn't smell at all. matt was v responsive and helpful. tysm <3

We had a great time staying in Matt’s camper. Definitely good for a short trip but wouldn’t recommend anything longer than 2-3 nights since there is nowhere to shower. Loved the fire pit and we hung out there nightly. The camper was situated closer to the main property than I expected (even after reading reviews) but it didn’t detract from our stay much. Overall would recommend!

Such an amazing spot! Decided to glamp with my wife for my birthday and was not disappointed with the location. It was so easy to get to downtown Santa Cruz and felt like we were tucked away in the forest even though we were just in someone’s front yard. Everything was clean and super easy to navigate.
