Best Cabin Camping near Scotts Valley, CA

Several cabin campgrounds operate within a 30-minute drive of Scotts Valley, California. Big Basin Redwoods State Park offers tent cabins equipped with double beds, wood-burning stoves, and tables. Mount Madonna County Park provides cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities. Cotillion Gardens RV Park in Felton includes cabin rentals alongside their RV sites. Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA Holiday features furnished cabins with electricity and basic amenities. "The cabins were nice, and each cabin has 2 double beds, a table, and a wood stove. It can get cold at night in the redwoods so the wood stove was great at night," noted one visitor.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Big Basin's tent cabins include heated mattresses and wood-burning stoves for cooler nights, while KOA cabins typically offer more modern amenities. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months when cabins fill quickly. Pet policies vary by location—Cotillion Gardens and Santa Cruz KOA allow pets in cabins, while others may restrict animals or charge additional fees. A camper described their KOA experience: "We stayed in one of the airstreams they have for rent there. The family loved it—it was the perfect size for us and everything worked."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries unless specifically noted in package deals. Some locations offer "add-on packages" with bedding, cooking equipment, and other essentials. Big Basin provides optional packages that include "sheets and pillows for the beds, propane lanterns, and cooking items." Kitchen facilities vary widely—from simple fire pits with grill covers to fully equipped kitchenettes in deluxe cabins. Saddle Mountain Ranch cabins include "kitchenettes with all necessary utensils and dishes to cook for a couple nights," according to visitor feedback. Nearby towns like Boulder Creek, Felton, and Watsonville offer grocery stores for additional supplies.
