Welcome to the Amaya Creek Redwood Campground! We are deep in the Santa Cruz mountains and it’s rustic so be prepared! The road is all paved but it can be narrow, bumpy and steep in some areas. Be sure to follow our directions to bypass the road closure! There is no cell phone service in some areas. PLEASE NOTE, we do not have a trash service for the campground, we require all campers to PACK OUT THEIR TRASH with them! We have 40 acres of redwood forest and two creeks running through including the Amaya Creek which serves the boundary of our property at the end of Amayak Creek Trail. There’s also a small waterfall off the Amaya Creek Trail, but it may dry out during the summer. Enjoy hiking, creeks and small waterfall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more. Our campground has running water from a natural spring, Men and Women's Restrooms each with 2 toilets and 1 FREE hot water shower, utility shed with sink and hot water, and an outdoor amphitheater.

Tent site · Sleeps 6

No trash service! Pack out your trash! No camp fire, drugs/smoke, loud music/noise, quiet hour 10p-8a Campsite 10 is far away from the bathroom and most other campsites. 4-6 people, 1 car. Extra car $15/day, pet $10/day 1 picnic table Bathrooms with hot water shower Utility shed sink with natural spring water, hot water 45 acre redwood, campground, outdoor amphitheater, hiking trails, creeks, small waterfall, deer, turkey, owl Paved road, 20 min to LG downtown, 25 min to Santa Cruz Drive down the paved road and there is a narrow dirt road on the right hand side with a sign 10 before reaching Site 1, turn right on the dirt road. Toward the end of the road there is a RV, before the RV there is a small path on the left site and a sign 10, walk down the path at the end it's site 10, if you don't see the red wood picnic table, you are not at site 10 yet. If you have to bring a 2nd car, let the host know and $15/day parking fee will be charged manually. It's very expensive to maintain the paved road, and our neighbors had lots of complaints about too much traffic due to the campers coming so we have to minimize the cars as much as possible. Bring and setup your own tent. No tent provided. Winter Rain Season Parking Warning! Try to park close to the paved road and do NOT park where it's muddy! Our water is from a natural spring. We are in the rural mountains and woods so overall it is pretty rustic! It's tick season in the spring and summer, watch out for ticks and use protection (insect repellant) as needed. We have a main trail on our 45 acre. The head of the main trail is right by the red Main House, just follow the paved the road down and it will become dirt road at campsite 12. It's about 45min to 1hr hike down to the end where the Amaya creek serves the boundary to the neighbor's property. On the main trail there is also a small waterfall, but it is not visible from the trail, you have to go off the trail on the left side to find it. I put pink ribbon on the tree there, but at other spots too so may not be the best sign. Enjoy hiking, creeks and small water fall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing (deer, turkey, owl etc), star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more.

The head of the main trail is right by the red Main House, just follow the paved the road down and it will become dirt road at campsite 12. It's about 45min to 1hr hike down to the end where the Amaya creek serves the boundary to the neighbor's property. On the main trail there is also a small waterfall, but it is not visible from the trail, you have to go off the trail on the left side to find it. I put pink ribbon on the tree there, but at other spots too so may not be the best sign. Enjoy hiking, creeks and small water fall exploration, mountain biking, wildlife viewing (deer, turkey, owl etc), star gazing, relaxation, meditation and more.

Beautiful campsite, some trade-offs

Tent ·

Site4A,Drive In,Shaded

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful campsite, but there were definitely some trade-offs worth noting to help folks plan ahead. Pros - Beautiful forest surroundings - The creek at the end of the trail is stunning - Trail is extremely well marked - Free showers Cons - The listing advertises “1 free hot shower” but I could not see a way to run this or pay for hot showers. Water only ran cold so beware of this depending on your time of visit - Only two bathroom units for the whole campground, one for women and one for men. Each unit had 2 bathroom stalls and 1 shower. This totals 4 bathroom stalls and 2 showers for ~17 campsites, and 1-2 glamping tents. Plan accordingly for lines if you’re staying during peak holiday times. - Facilities were functional and relatively clean, but do seem overdue for a deeper clean. Bathroom sinks and showers showed visible wear and grime that might bother folks. - Minimal staff presence. No staff monitoring entrances. As far as I’m aware, there were no measures in place to ensure people were in the correct campsites. We never received a follow up requesting our vehicle type, etc. We noticed several guests struggling to find their campsites None of the cons were a big deal for us. We enjoyed our stay, but wanted to be fully transparent for others.

Scenic but pricy spot, rough road

12 ft pop-up camper · With pets ·

Site3,Drive In, Shade,Near bathroom

Camp spots are amongst towering redwoods, spot 3 specifically looks down a slope onto a group of beautiful trees. (If you want to back into spot its down a slope and around a corner...) This is my 10th site in CA with Hipcamp and the first time I feel I overpaid. The spot is beautiful, the toilets are functional and not porta-potties, but one look at the women's shower had me deciding to wait until I am back home. Two nights at over $200 incl 1 dog ... most expensive I've booked so far but not best spot. Based on reviews I made sure to be there before dark (100% agree), and the last 2miles are rough road for a little camper, but it's all doable for a regular car. There is essentially no cell reception. I sent host a message from the road and received a reply ~7h later. I wouldn't have been able to contact them via the app while at the camp. Download your driving and hiking maps ahead of time!

It was just right for my needs for my 1 night stay.. Single vehicle with rooftop tent.I took some pics of the giant redwoods as well. Pretty cool formations in some sites. I wouldn’t want to pull a camper or drive an RV to it as the roads r narrow. But a beautiful drive to it. Tents, Sprinter vans and roof top tents is what I would recommend.

My husband and I enjoyed our one-night stay at this campground nestled among beautiful redwood groves. We were car camping in our Toyota Tacoma and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere. The good: • Shady spot with a nice view • Picnic table included • Only a 2-minute uphill walk to the bathroom • Clear directions to the campsite and nearby creek trail Things to improve: The bathroom was stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap, but the small trash bin for paper towels was overflowing onto the floor. A larger bin and more frequent cleaning (dust and spiderwebs) would help. We skipped the shower due to that, but were fine for a one-night stay. Heads up: • The road to the campground is narrow and winding—only one car fits at a time in some spots. It’s paved, but nature has taken its toll in areas. Drive slowly, especially with a low-clearance vehicle. • Our site was mostly level, but for car camping, we needed extra flat space. The best spot still had a 5% incline, and we had to reposition and use wood under the tires. Tent campers may have an easier time. • This site is near the main road, so expect some headlights and car noise at night, especially if other campers drive to the bathroom. Overall, it met the needs for our trip.

Awesome site! Beautiful spot in the redwoods. Group campsite is large and well maintained with lots of sites for cars and tents. Drive in is a little steep but just have to go slow with any bigger rigs. Highly recommend!

Overall it was great. But for the price (~90$), the amenities are quite a disappointment. Great camping if there’s no other available camping around.

Great quiet site! Our kids had fun playing in a natural fort like structure in the middle of a growth of redwoods right in our campsite! Also the trail to the creek is great experience. Sites are spaced relatively far away from each other so noise wasn’t generally a problem at night. Water quality from the spring was good! Lots of mosquitos, but they didn’t seem to bite very much- be sure to bring bug spray!

Beautiful property with a great mix of campsites that either offer shade within the redwoods or sunshine with amazing views. The bathrooms were clean. The whole campground is on a hill so helpful to know that if you’re not close to the bathroom you’ll have to walk up and down a hill a bit.

Lack of Security and Neglected Infr

Tent ·

Site2 Shade,Drive In, Near Bathroom

Unfortunately, our experience at the camping area did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival, we noticed there was no gatehouse or security personnel to monitor the entry and exit of vehicles and guests, which raised concerns about safety. Additionally, the property appeared poorly maintained, with overgrown vegetation and restrooms showing significant signs of wear and lack of upkeep. Overall, the infrastructure seemed neglected, detracting considerably from our stay.

The site was great! There was a decent amount of privacy between campsites, so I think it is way better than a normal campground. The bathroom and showers were rustic and simple, but they worked. The trees and the long winding drive were beautiful.

With public campgrounds unavailable due to not planning ahead I checked out Hipcamp for the first time. This was near enough to the Boardwalk to make a last minute spring break trip possible. We got there after dark but had directions to find our way easily provided by Jane. Also, it was magical waking to Santa Cruz Mountains lush forest greenery. Just beautiful.

We loved car camping on Jane's land. The sites are well cared-for and, while not entirely private, spaced far enough apart for a peaceful experience. We easily found our site using the directions in the listing and met a few other friendly campers walking along the road. The bathrooms are well-kept and near a very cool old amphitheater space. Lots of Stellar's Jays, dark-eyed juncos, and most exciting to me was the abundance of native Pacific blackberry. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone in the area.
