Cotillion Gardens RV Park

We love this place. It was as expected clean, relaxing and peaceful. The roaring camp train whistles in the distance. The only thing I did not enjoy was the shower set up. It’s a 30 second burst of water and you have to keep pushing the button. That water was a pleasant temperature but I prefer a campground that give you control of your shower. We tend to look for good shower when paying for campgrounds as we can easily dry camp for free, so a good shower is something we look for in a campground.

We love Cotillion Gardens. So many activities to choose from. The roaring camp railroad is just a walk away. The ambiance is very fun relaxed and camping friendly.

The only reason we could not stay was because my husband was on call and had to have cell service.

Booking a site for the following weekend was easy. I can’t wait to go, take pictures and enjoy a weekend in the woods.

Check in was easy! We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were handed a map and told to choose any available site. We chose #19, some sites were very small and still considered RV sites, this site was easy to back into and right on the creek. The campground is built going up a mountain and this site had a pretty spectacular view! We had water and electric hookups, and they have a dump station on the way out. The clubhouse was nice and there are hiking trails just outside the campground. Also if you have kids, they have a pretty cool looking playground. The sites are also all meticulously cleaned and raked after each guest leaves. We had no cell reception on Verizon, however they have free wifi that worked pretty well.

Also, on our way to the campground heading north our GPS told us to take highway 9 to the park. We pulled over to let cars pass and one of the locals pulled up behind me and gave me an insider tip! Highway 9 north from Santa Cruz to Felton is not very RV friendly! Your best bet is to go around it into Felton and head south on highway 9, I was glad I did.
