Welcome to southern Santa Cruz County, home of some of the longest and most beautiful beaches in central California.
We are located in La Selva Beach, an eight-minute walk to Manresa State Beach. We are a small, working farm with vegetable and flower gardens, chickens and bees. There are many excellent places nearby to hike, walk, surf, swim, tide pool or just sit and enjoy the view.
We offer three campsites, two have fantastic, unobstructed views of the three hundred acres of strawberry fields that back up to our property.
Our campsites provide water and electric hookups and are only appropriate for self-contained recreational vehicles and trailers. One of the sites has no size constraints on RVs or trailers. We have plenty of room for a second vehicle. We do offer a port-a potty, but not sinks or showers. We do not accommodate on the ground tent camping or in your car camping.
The Valley View site is very quiet as it is farthest from the road, and is the most private. The Gateway site is near the road and does not have a view of the strawberry fields, but guests who are just looking for a quick stop over or base camp love it. The Strawberry and Surf site has no size restrictions and it backs up to San Andreas Rd.
All site are walking distance to Manresa State Beach.
We love to host guests and will provide information about things to do and see in our area. We often loan our State Parks pass so that you can venture out to Point Lobos, Wilder Ranch, Sunset Beach, Natural Bridges and more.
Each camp site includes a fire pit and a generous wagon of wood. Two camp chairs and a picnic table are included as well.
We also offer farm fresh eggs, baked goods and other treats (see our Extras).
We are 15 minutes from the village of Capitola, 30 minutes from downtown Santa Cruz and 45 minutes to Monterey.
There is a Dump station 5 minutes down the road at the KOA (for a fee).
We appreciate Robin greeting us when we arrived. She explained the set up and handed us the warm (and tasty) quiche we ordered! We had a lovely view and took a walk to the beach. It was so close. Also, we received some good suggestions on where to hike and a couple of good restaurant recommendations. Thanks Robin, we had a great time!
Our family of 6 + dog had a fantastic stay here. We didn't think we'd be able to book the night we wanted, but Robin was surprisingly accommodating and responsive. She set up a picnic table, chairs, and a wood fire ahead of our arrival, which lasted us over three hours in the evening.
The property has sweeping views over strawberry fields. We spent a long afternoon at Manresa State Beach, which is just a short walk away. The sites are spread out well with plenty of space.
In short: very friendly and responsive host, great views, and rare proximity to a dog-friendly beach. We can't wait to return.
What a great experience at the Strawberry Farm. Robin and Ray were great hosts and were quick to respond to any questions ahead of time. The scenery was lovely and we definitely recommend!
