Stay within minutes of Manresa, Sand Dollar, and Sunset State beaches. There are excellent biking and hiking opportunities on the Watsonville and Elkhorn sloughs, or commune with the redwoods in the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. The air is amazing here, between the salt sea and redwood forest. We welcome you to relax and refresh on the Monterey Bay coast.

Gracious hosts & a beautiful place
The land was beautiful and private! The bathroom was super clean and the outdoor shower was a treat. We booked a tent spot but with the rain, Dawn offered the barn for us to use as a dry hang-out spot. Not only was this a super kind gesture, but also the barn was the PERFECT spot for us to spend time in. It was beautifully decorated with lots of kitchen amenities, and they even left gifts for us to use which was very much appreciated. I absolutely loved this space and would highly recommend it to anyone!

This was one of my favorite spots I have stayed at so far. Favorite part was getting daily visits from Dawn’s dog, Luna. Felt very protected by her. The location was perfect! Only 20 minutes away from the boardwalk and close to really nice spots to go hiking. Dawn was very responsive and so sweet. Felt very safe and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Thank you so much Dawn!

Full hook up site
Everything worked out great for our night in the Santa Cruz area. The spot was pretty easy to find even though the area is quite dark at night. Hookups worked with no issues, Wi-Fi was great, and the host was responsive.

Don’t miss this spot!
We had a lovely weekend at Dawn’s - the perfect setup for camping! The space is isolated enough from the road and host’s home to feel private, while having easy access to town and amenities like water, an outdoor shower, toilet, and even games set up on site. The string lights were so helpful at night around camp, and they even left us extra tools to get our fire going. Such kind and welcoming hosts, we look forward to coming back!
