Site 1 - Redwood Paradise
Slice of Heaven in the Redwoods
I absolutely loved it here. A beautiful property nestled in a forest of redwoods. It is a short drive to Santa Cruz and some wonderful beaches on the coast. Hiking was close by. Ruth and her two sons were incredible hosts. The property was easy to find and communication was perfect. I felt so safe the entire time. They have a pool and a community deck which Ruth

We had an amazing camping experience at the site hosted by Ruth and Marshall. They were very accommodating, helpful and courteous. The property is beautiful. Ruth's Peruvian coffee was awesome. Would love to go back .

such a wonderful place to stay! especially recommending for families with kids, host has arranged so many attractions for kids: pool with crystal clean water, trampoline. Staying in the woods really relaxing . Host is super-welcoming and helping with anything!

Site 1 - Poolside Campsite.
Lots to do! Pool, hammocks and trampolines made for a great time with the family! Ruth and her family were extremely friendly and welcoming. Great hospitality (felt more like a BnB then a campsite!)

Site 2 - Redwood Paradise
Beautiful spot surrounded by redwoods. We stayed in site #2 for one night which was nice and mostly shaded. We had a 4 person tent and it fit fine. This was my 3 year old daughter’s first camping experience and she loved it. We only stayed one night and didn’t use any of the amenities (pool, zip line, trampoline, etc) but they looked fun. Bonus is that it’s super close to Santa Cruz which we went for a day at the beach.
Host was great and friendly.
