Valley View
I live in the bay area and wanted to do a quick overnighter near the coast. I am so grateful to have found Robin's location. I stayed in the Valley View spot in my 25 foot winnebago navion.
There are building near this spot, but they were on the other side of my RV and I had this peaceful and beautiful location overlooking territorial views.
The property was very quiet and beautiful, even though it was near the road. I particularly loved being able to take a short hike to nearby beach. What a beautiful day and night staying here.
I will definitely return.

Potential is there
Our stay at Valley View was okay for us. We stayed 3 nights, and our days were spent in Monterey and Santa Cruz. We came back late in the evening had a BBQ and made S'mores by the fire pit. The fire pit made our stay feel more than parking our travel trailer behind a business on a gravel pad with the rest of the equipment to clean the property and other stored vehicles. The Host were great, the view as we got out of the trailer and sat under the awning was nice. The view overlooks an area where there was a seasonal runoff area mixed with trees and shrubs, a huge open field/undeveloped area, and to the south strawberry fields. Walk to either side of the trailer, and the commercial building and equipment was apparent. Move the pad north 25 feet north, put in a partition to separate the camp site from the business, put in a wash station, and this would go a long way to giving this site more potential. The view of the open area does get lost with the pad next to the business. The porta potty was located was around the corner in front of the business and could not be seen from the camp site. Located over 100 paces away from the camp site made it unsafe at night unless you used the buddy system. The porta potty was clean, and I did use it during the daytime. The distance wasn't bad, just the line of site made it bad. For dry camping this is a negative. Add a few improvements, keep the price the same, and I would recommend this site. The way it is now, it is, what it is.

Had a great time
Great Hosts and great property. Will definitely return next time we are in the area. Close to the beach and nice place for bike rides

Beautiful site, near beach
This site offers great views of strawberry fields and is very quiet. It is a great site for a camper, camper van, small RV, etc. You are a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, which is beautiful! Robin and Ray are very sweet and thoughtful hosts. There is a very clean port 'o' potty on site but no showers which we knew ahead of time, we made it work for our rooftop tent set-up. My only negative is that the camping area had a ton of "stickers" and foxtails that kept getting stuck in our dogs paws/fur and this made me worry a lot and constantly have to pick them out. We would go back again if we ever decide to get a small camper trailer.

Robin was great at communicating, and while we were unable to meet her, she made sure we had plenty of clear instruction to get to our spot. The land is walking distance to the beach and very tranquil at night. The area is safe so we had great peace of mind leaving our trailer and going on day trips. We were able to take advantage of the water and electric hookups, and the portaloo was spotless.
Thanks again!
