Very clean site with a beautiful view. Instructions were clear making it easy to find. One of the best hipcamp sites I've stayed at so far.
Easy in, easy out. Bedroom was made nicely. Property manager was very kind.
cute stay. it was clean and easy to get to for the weekend visiting santa cruz.
The tent and bed were very spacious. The view of the stars at night and the mountains in the mornings was beautiful. In November it was very cold at night as expected but it was much easier to stay comfortable and warm here than in a regular tent.
Very comfy bed and loved falling asleep and waking to the sounds of the babbling brook. Clean outhouse, easy parking & enjoyed the glorious night sky. Already booked my next stay...
It’s a perfect place to get away! There’s a grocery store about 5 minutes away that we bought some sandwiches from, and we ate outside our tent on the picnic bench! It was absolutely perfect and relaxing, would recommend!
