Description
Escape to a peaceful redwood sanctuary just minutes from the coast. Nestled on our private 20-acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this quiet forest retreat offers a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience life beneath towering California coastal redwoods.
Our campsites are spacious and thoughtfully spread out, giving guests privacy and room to relax among the trees. Wake up to birdsong, fog drifting through the forest, and the fresh scent of redwoods all around you.
Guests have access to a heated outdoor shower and a nearby port o potty for a simple, comfortable experience. Water comes directly from our spring, offering a refreshing connection to the land.
Spend your days unwinding in hammocks beneath the canopy, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the forest, or gathering around the gas fire pit under the stars at night.
While the property feels tucked away in nature, you’re still only 15 minutes from Rio Del Mar Beach, Aptos Village, whale watching, wineries, restaurants, and local organic markets.
This is more than just a campsite, it’s a place to reconnect with the earth, experience the beauty of regenerative land stewardship, and enjoy the quiet magic of the redwoods.
