Welcome to our one-acre Redwood grove, complete with a seasonal creek. With both level and hilly areas, we offer one platform tent (with more on the way), a spacious Picnic Pavilion, and numerous spots for pitching a tent beneath the majestic Redwoods. If weather gets rough, consider Creekside Cottage #4, an enchanting studio apartment with modern bathroom/shower, kitchenette. 14 minutes away on Zayante Creek. Explore the many unspoiled creeks in the area, perfect for hiking enthusiasts. Additionally, the Santa Cruz beach and Boardwalk are just 6 miles south, offering endless seaside entertainment. Please note, our site holds historical significance as it borders the CZU fire burn scar. Big Basin is a mere 4 miles away, while the historic Brookdale Lodge is just 1 mile from our location.

Like Camping with More Amenities
I had an enjoyable time staying at the Creekside Cottage! The listing was very accurate and all the necessary amenities (bed, toilet, shower) were there. I saw another review critique the property and reiterate that it is not the quality of an Airbnb. That is true, but you shouldn't expect that for the bargain price that you can stay here for. The location is right off a moderately busy road so expect some noise but nothing unbearable. Overall, I had a nice time and would consider returning if I find myself in the area again.

Scott was great! Very friendly and thoughtful. I used his spot as a jumping-off point for a bikepacking one-nighter towards Santa Cruz, leaving my car overnight at Scott's and meeting friends at another site. It was pretty ideal for that -- gave me exactly the mileage I wanted to bike, and there were no other safe options for overnight parking. Would recommend it!

Best off grid camping trip
Best off grid camping sites I have been to in years. I loved not dealing with my phone ringing all the time with no cellular service and I loved being up so high in the mountains. The sounds and smell of nature was amazing, I felt apart of nature while staying here. This was so much fun and relaxing. I’m definitely going again!

This place wasn’t nice enough to be an Airbnb but it wasn’t in nature enough to be like camping. It’s a small ADU in between two houses on a little street right outside of town. If it was out in the country more, with more outdoor space, I would feel more forgiving of the rustic room inside.
