This is camping made easy. No need to bring your cooking supplies, stoves, barbeque and dinnerwares ! We have them all. If you like to be social and have bonfire and have a nice chat with fellow campers , this is the place for you. We are committed to provide good beds and beddings because we know how important good sleep is (even when you camp!) so we just spent time, money and energy to replace all of our camping mattresses with memory foam mattresses!!! We had people swear that this is the best bed they ever slept in. The campground is located in a serene oak grove area of the property. Its a peaceful getaway with an abundance of bird varieties and occasional wild turkeys passing through. Take a stroll around our 5-acre property and catch a breathtaking sunset from the hillside. We're only 11 minutes away from Mount Madonna State Park and just 10 minutes from a local healthy grocery store and yoga studio. The beautiful Pajaro Dunes coastal area is just a 15-minute drive away, and the Santa Cruz Fairground is only two minutes away. Our location is surrounded by family friendly farms such as Gizdich ranch and nurseries, hence why it's considered the salad bowl of the United States. The Santa Cruz beaches are only 15-25 minutes away, while Monterey Bay Aquarium is just 30 minutes away and Gilroy Gardens is about 25 minutes away. The wine trail is also nearby. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, including horseback riding at Mount Madonna Stable, Mount Madonna Retreat Center, hiking at Mount Madonna State Park, wine tastings at various wineries with stunning views, kayaking at Elkhorn Slough or any beaches, yoga at Watsonville Yoga or onsite, swimming, scuba diving in Monterey, visiting the Hanoman temple at Mount Madonna retreat center, and attending any events at the Santa Cruz Fairground. Julie, our campground manager offers horse lessons for anyone starting at age 8 + but not heavier than 180 lbsThe property has 3 stalls for hot showers, 1 hand washing sink, 3 flushable toilettes, 1 communal outdoor kitchen with supplies of cookwares, dishes, mugs, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, coffee mugs, and 1 sink with hot water, 3 fire pits (2 of them is fire burning and 1 of them is propane), camping stoves, 1 gas barbeque and there is an electricity in the communal kitchen area. Propane for fireplace is included and Firewoods are available for sale. Board games, Books, Magazines, Lawn games are available as well as drawing papers and coloring pencils/markers/oil paint for our little artists.

This campsite seems to be a hit with visitors, offering a unique blend of comfort and community. Guests rave about the well-maintained communal spaces, such as the open-air kitchen and fire pits, which foster a friendly atmosphere. The setting offers a peaceful escape with easy access to nearby attractions and activities. Some mention the campsites are close together, which could be a downside for those seeking seclusion, but many appreciate the opportunity to meet fellow campers.

Beautiful campground and hospitable hosts! It was early in the camping season, so we had the place to ourselves and it felt like a steal! :)

Nice weekend getaway!

Delightful Gypsy Wagon

Loved our stay here! Yeyen and Julie were very responsive and accommodating. The facilities were clean, well maintained, and had everything we could need for a nice weekend away from the city. The camp fire was cozy and we slept very well, as our wagon also had a heater. I’d recommend and would love to come again!

Delightful Gypsy Wagon

My girlfriend, dog, and I popped over from San Francisco just to get away for a night and stayed in the Gypsy Wagon. The cabin was cute, cozy, and clean. The camp was communal but had all the amenities you could want and more! The beach isn’t too far and the town has some nice local spots to stop in at if you’re looking to wander around. Great stay, would recommend!

Delightful Gypsy Wagon

Beautiful peaceful campground! The restrooms were clean and shared common spaces were tidy! My son and I had the place to ourselves and did not spend too much time “hanging out” at Camp, but this served as a great home base to explore Moss Landing and the surrounding areas throughout the weekend.

Glamping with our dog!

Delightful Gypsy Wagon

We had an amazing and romantic weekend in the Gypsy wagon. The grounds were beautiful and we loved the communal spaces like the open air kitchen, the fire pits, and the games. We brought our dog with us too and he had a blast. Bathrooms and showers were great and we would definitely come back. Thanks!!

My girlfriend and I were comfortable during our stay, and the hosts were very accommodating. The place was well-maintained, with everything we needed readily available. Everything worked perfectly and nothing was broken or out of order. It was a great experience overall!
