About Patchen Christmas Tree Farm
Patchen Farm is a 6 acre, choose and cut Christmas tree farm.

Patchen is located only 10 mins from downtown Los Gatos in one direction and the Santa Cruz beach in the other direction. Perched at the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Patchen offers the scenic beauty of lush redwood forests and views of the surrounding area.

This was a great place to tent camp! The directions were clear, and the site was convenient to set up.
Good stay as usual, peaceful. If your in a RV or travel trailer it's perfect. I work nights and sleep peacefully during the day.
It is quiet, safe, easy to find, and you can tell the land welcomes nature minded. Even in the waning sunlight, the photos really helped me know I was in the right place.
Simple, but I liked it. Limited amenities and the workers do start at around 7. I would recommend if you are OK with the above.
This was an amazing stay!! Literally the cutest place. We only came the for night and left early in the morning to go surfing but we wish we stayed longer. Very quiet and clean space with just enough privacy. Will definitely be coming back :)
