Managed by Encore RV Resorts, Santa Cruz Ranch Campground operates year-round in Scotts Valley, accommodating RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The forested property sits near a creek and provides standard amenities like restrooms, showers, and WiFi access.
The campground primarily serves RV campers, with sites positioned closely together according to multiple reviews. Many guests appear to be long-term residents who have established semi-permanent setups with plants and personal items. A small designated area exists for tent camping, though it sits adjacent to the main RV section rather than offering separation from the activity.
Families with children frequently use the campground, and Judith P. notes it's "not quiet though, lots of kids." The facility features recently updated bathrooms with new tile work. The proximity to Highway 17 means some road noise carries into the camping area.
For those seeking alternatives in the region, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park Campground offers a more traditional state park camping experience less than two miles away.
