Description
Welcome to the Enchanted Forest Mountain Redwood Retreat! Make sure you follow our directions to bypass the road closure! We are deep in the mountains so be prepared. The road is all paved but it can be narrow, bumpy and steep in some areas. There is no cell phone service in some areas.
We are a meditation retreat center with 45 acres of some of the most gorgeous redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains to enjoy hiking, creeks and small water fall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more.
Our campground has running water from a natural spring, Men and Women's Restrooms each with 2 toilets and 1 hot water shower, laundry shed with sink and hot water, and an outdoor amphitheater, (the kitchen and washer/dryer is Staff Only not for campers).
PLEASE NOTE, we do not have a trash service on site, we require all campers to PACK OUT THEIR GARBAGE with them!

Pets are $10 per day, 1 pet per group ONLY. Please add this as an extra at the time of booking, you will see the option to add extras once you begin the checkout process. Dogs must be on leash at all times!
Quiet hours are 10pm-8am. No drugs of any kind including marijuana allowed. No loud music allowed. This is a private property so no visitors are allowed, only paid guests. Our onsite staff will go around and enforce the rules.
NOTICE REGARDING RVs and TRAILERS: While we can not offer hookups, theoretically we have no problem with RVs, the road is steep in a couple of places getting down to the campground and VERY narrow in one spot (10ft). If you feel you're willing to take this risk (we won't be held liable), you're welcome to reach out to us and we can see if the site is good for RV/trailers.
Only sites 8, 12 and 5 are good for trailers. No vehicle can drive into Site 7, 9, 10 11, 14 (the parking area is separate). Other sites may be ok with small trailers. Check with the host. Any trailer larger than 20ft, take your own risk, there is a narrow point only 9ft wide.

Directions
Important directions to bypass road closure! Follow our direction instead of the GPS after you get off on Summit from Hwy 17 due to road closure! From Summit Rd turn right on Soquel San Jose Rd, keep driving on Soquel San Jose Rd for about 2 miles until you see Stetson Rd and then turn on left on Stetson Rd, make sure you do NOT turn left on Miller Cutoff or Miller Hill Rd from Soquel San Jose Rd as GPS may direct you. Then drive on Stetson Rd for about 2 miles, our property is on the right side of the road. In case you come from the city of Soquel, you can just follow the GPS direction.
