Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort

Nice staff, hot clean showers, great location, good campsites

This rv park is extremely clean and has a lot of wonderful amenities. The river is down a little path and has a lot of sweet little beaches. All of the campers were very respectful, polite and pleasant.

This was our second visit, and by chance the same campsite. Prior, I had to change the dates and was rewarded a$35 change fee. I did it online, so it wasn't like I put anyone to any tedious task. With that, not sure I will be back just on principle. So now, moving on to the review. The sites are well marked. They are a bit narrow, so much of the camp side you will have a close look at your neighbors utilities. When the park is full, it is close. Go on weekdays, not as busy and more room is likely. Bring your sewer hose extension. Most other sites had them from what I could see. My Starlink was heavily obstructed by trees so worked at 40% speed.

Really lovely RV site. Nice toilets & showers. Lovely shady spots and really close to Santa Cruz

The camp host went above and beyond! Happily told us things to do with our kids and how close places were. Santa Cruz is only 10 miles away. The campground is all natural! Trees and nature all around. Viewing areas that allow all to enjoy the stream, at the back of the resort, and paths to take a closer look. A safe and quiet location. I felt safe, with my young kids, that everyone was driving slowly and respecting the rules.

Getting there takes some attention. Do not take highway 9 from Santa Cruz as the RV park will tell you. Our car navigation changed our route even after we were approaching 17 north. Keep your eyes out for the highway signs. Once there, it was a pleasant check in. Roads to the sites are narrow, so again, keep your eyes pealed. Site was nice, partially under a redwood. River runs behind the park. We took a few hikes in the area that were very nice. Gas, propane and food are all located down the street.  I had to use a 6 foot extension on the sewer hose. Shore chord was fine as was the water spigot.

Would have given this spot 5 stars but their customer service is terrible. Due to the heavy rain, we had a catastrophic failure of our awning. Went and talked to them to find out if they had a mobile guy they could recommend. They were minimally helpful. Told us we could keep our rig parked there a couple days until we could get it repaired because they weren't booked for the week but we'd have to pay full price. Which is fair. We opted not to do so and worked all morning to get the awning secured and rolled out of there 15 minutes late. We promptly got a charge for late checkout. Definitely don't recommend! And I will be sure and let everyone I know what crummy customer service we received and that this place is best avoided.

This campground is very nice! Nothing fancy. An older campground but we’ll maintained. We had to change our dates, and it was an east phone call to do that. They also let you checkin and pay online which was seamless also. Close to 6 Santa Cruz county state parks and Santa Cruz beaches and town. We will stay here again! Side note. Don’t use hwy 9 south from Santa Cruz towing. The road is too winding and narrow. Use hwy 17 to Mount Herman road

From my narrow LTV, I should have asked for site 18. It has beautiful trees on either side of it, separating you from your neighbors. While Site 15, the one we have, is fine and level, there’s nothing separating you from your neighbors.

Sites surrounded by redwoods, friendly helpful staff, close to attractions.

Nice location on river near the park. But sites are close to each other, no river view. No breeze right now so it's a bit smokey.

My family loved this place, it’s so beautiful. We loved going to the creek. Santa Cruz boardwalk was not far away.

Camping vacation with my wife and two girls. This campground was clean friendly and beautiful! No complaints I will be back again and again! Family friendly and tight community with an awesome river down a few steps! 15 mins down to the boardwalk! Ocean during the day and camping a night. We loved our experience. Highly recommend!

The sites by the river are beautiful, the rest feel like a very crowded gravel parking lot. Excellent wifi and the trees are beautiful.

Great place surrounded with beautiful redwoods. Clean & nice facilities, relaxing.

A peaceful, beautiful lake Side campsites nestled at the base of Los Banos creek reservoir in Los Banos. No water and electricity at each site, there was one water Spicket for all campsites. (About 20 total) And porta-potties as well. Other campers were respectful and very friendly. The park rangers came thru several times each day. Over all it’s a wonderful place in which I would return to and highly recommend.

We went in mid March on a Thursday and the place was at capacity. Like most RV campgrounds, the spaces are very close together. The facility was clean and everyone was friendly. Since it was COVID, we didn’t actually have any personal contact with any of the staff except for the maintenance guy who brought us wood. The site is “on” the San Lorenzo river, but there weren’t many trails to walk on. Also, no trails to walk into town, except for on the fast moving road into town. The state park, on the other side, had numerous trails and was worth the short drive to get to. All in all, this was a pleasant place to stay for a few nights.

We stayed hear a couple years ago. I am many writing this review because it comes up in the dispersed camping filter which it is NOT! It is assigned camping sites that are basically on top of each other. I recommends rating here in the off season because you will basically have the place to yourself which makes it pleasant. Upon arrival we were really bummed to find out tent camping was in a back corner or the RV park, the websites photos are deceiving. It would be nice for families or a group, but as a couple with just a small dog it wasn’t ideal.

We judge campgrounds a lot by their WIFi and although they say it’s the best around, it did not work well while we were there which may be attributed to the rainy season in March. Otherwise, a nice, beautiful place to be located. Stayed 4 weeks, management very accommodating.

Well maintained, super clean restrooms. Not much in the way of extras like a well stocked store, trails, or a fancy playground but the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff makes up for it. There is a little trail that goes down to the River where you can find a neat little beach. It’s a goofy little descent/climb to get there and out but worth it.

We have stayed here several times. It sits in the redwoods next to the San Lorenzo river in Felton Ca. Beautiful setting and great place for the kids to run around and have fun. Santa Cruz is only a 10 minute ride down Hwy 9. Mostly for RV camping bit there are several tent sights. Bathrooms are clean and showers good with lots of warm water.

Not a bad place to stay. It’s just very crowded with zero privacy. All big Rv, there’s a pool hall and a river. It’s super close to a few bars and about a mile away from the Henry Cowell entrance.
