Welcome to southern Santa Cruz County, home of some of the longest and most beautiful beaches in central California.
We are located in La Selva Beach, a eight-minute walk to Manresa State Beach. We are a small, working farm with vegetable and flower gardens, chickens and bees. There are many excellent places to hike, walk, surf, swim, tide pool or just sit and enjoy the view.
We offer quiet campsites with fantastic views of the three hundred acres of strawberry fields that back up to our property.
Our campsites provide water and electric hookups and only appropriate for self-contained recreational vehicles and trailers. One of the sites has no size constraints on RVs or trailers. Our Valley View site is limited to rigs 30 feet long or less (not including the tow vehicle). We do offer a porta potty, but not porta sinks or showers. We do not accommodate on the ground tent camping or in your car camping.
We love to host guests and will provide information about things to do and see in our area. We often loan our State Parks pass so that you can venture out to Point Lobos, Wilder Ranch, Sunset Beach, Natural Bridges and more.
Our property is peaceful and restorative. Our sites are about 30 yards apart. You will not have a neighbor next to you.
Each camp site includes a fire pit and a bundle of wood per night.
We are 15 minutes from the village of Capitola, 30 minutes from downtown Santa Cruz and 45 minutes to Monterey.
There is a Dump station 5 minutes down the road at the KOA (for a fee).
This was our second visit. We came back because of the location (convenient to Santa Cruz, the nearby beach and Monterey), the hosts (attentive and friendly) and the site (easy in and out for our truck and trailer, and the view). We will be back!

Amazing stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The neighboorhood is pretty nice and being to walk a few minutes to get to Manresa beach was great.
The property was green and open so very enjoyable.
Our hosts Ray and Robin were simply amazing.
My only regret is not booking more nights.

We had no trouble finding out way to the location. The hosts greeted us and showed us where to pull in, and where the water, power and toilet were. The site was level so our trailer set up was very easy. We had the view of the fields across the small canyon and had really pretty sunsets each night and used the fire pit to stem the chill. The hosts checked on us to be sure everything was good. A nice beach is within walking distance, and we visited Monterey, Capitola and Santa Cruz. We got exactly what we wanted for the location and our trip!

This was a great place to stay,.. host was very hospitable and friendly when I arrived. He brought me firewood and a propane torch lighter to get the fire started! A nice walk to the beach., less than 20 minutes and a beautiful beach I could take my dog to… on leash.
I would definitely stay again😊

This is a super magical spot. Even though we weren't in one of the "view" camping spots, the strawberry valley was still just right around the corner. Make sure you bring a camper cord adapter if you want to plug into the standard 15/20 amp outlet at this site (we forgot ours but Robin very kindly lent us one). We would definitely recommend strawberry fields.
