Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort

This is very scenic for a private park, the Redwoods are great and the river running alongside the sites is nice.

The drive down the mountain to Santa Cruz was a quick 15 minutes and the small town of Felton was less than 5 minutes with a great natural grocer, pharmacy, etc

The laundry room was spotless and the machines worked great.

The biggest downside is the sites are really on top of each other and rigs feel crammed everywhere when the park is full. During the week it was tolerable, but by the weekend it felt like a tailgate party. For this reason alone we’d likely look to try a different park in the area when we return.

The park Wifi was crazy fast on weekdays when the park was half full and supported streaming. Once the weekend hit and the park filled in it became entirely unusable for stretches. The system could use an upgrade to a mesh network rather than individual routers spread throughout the park.

This is a great little park surrounded by Redwoods. Very shady. Everything was clean and well kept. The staff was very nice as well. It's pretty packed in but typical for a private park.
Strong 50 amp FHU. Basic cable and they provided wifi but I didn't use it much as my hotspot was faster. Verizon (37mbps), ATT (21mbps) and T mobile (5mbps) all worked well w/out a booster.
The location can't be beat with about 15 min drive to Santa Cruz. They had a laundromat onsite but I had too much laundry so I used Felton laundromat which was excellent. Great shopping and grocery stores nearby. Downtown Santa Cruz is really nice as is the boardwalk.
There are multiple dog friendly beaches but you do have to do some research as they are not all dog friendly.
There is also a good state park right down the road with hiking trails.
Follow the directions on the campground's website because Hwy9 is not RV friendly.

Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort was such a surprise, under beautiful redwoods. Our site was level and clean. The park is laid out in kind of a puzzle, so site size varies. Staff couldn't be more pleasant or helpful. Henry Cowell State Park is a short walk away and is really something to see. The sound of the river and steam train adds to the feel of truly being in a redwood forest. Wifi was great they have about eight routers throughout the park.

No complaints here, we would definitely stay here again.

This was one of our favorite RV Parks since arriving in California. I wouldn't consider it a "resort", as there are no hot tubs, tennis courts, etc., but we prefer a more natural setting and Santa Cruz Redwoods fit the bill perfectly. It's more like an outdoor camping experience (including a large section for tents), with many families having campfires nightly, kids playing, people walking dogs, large groups sitting outside together enjoying the weather and the surroundings. We took our dog down to the river that runs along the campground so he could enjoy a bit of swimming. You can also wade across the river (ankle or knee deep depending on recent rains) directly into the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park with all its trails. If you don't want to wade, the entrance to the state park is a mile down the road from the campground. We saw no full-time/permanent RVs except for the camp hosts, and every site we saw was tidy. We were lucky in that our site (#61) was very spacious, but some other sites looked pretty tight. The downside to our site was that it received almost no sun due to the tall trees, and it was chilly all week in April 2015 in the shade. Some of the sites get sunlight, but not many. I imagine in summer the shade is great. The manager and staff were extremely friendly and helpful and went out of their way multiple times to accommodate us (we were a last minute arrival). The nearby town of Felton is small but very cute and has all the necessary amenities. We'll definitely return, hopefully in warmer weather!

We loved our time at Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the facilities were slightly dated, but clean and functional. The whole place is really well-kept and beautiful. At first glance, it seems the sites may be too close together, but once you're in your site...you're nestled between big beautiful redwoods forest trees...and we felt we had a ton of privacy. We felt like we were camping in the forest. We had a river site (you're above the river looking down on it...so pretty) and there are trails down to the water. There is a full-size steam train that runs through the forest just across the river in case you have a toddler in love with trains like us. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is about a mile down the road, and the Redwood Grove was so beautiful with huge amazing trees as big as those in Muir (some bigger). The little town of Felton is about one mile away; it's adorable, cute local shops and grocery stores (and a Safeway). There's a little "work from home" office in town in case you need a good work space with wifi. This park is about six miles down highway 9 from Santa Cruz. There's so much to do around here (state parks, Monterey, etc) and this is a great location. We were sad to leave these big beautiful trees.

One of the best parts is these huge old trees that have died are amazing forts, hide-outs, etc for our kids...they had such a great time riding bikes, playing with other kids here (super family friendly) and climbing all over these tree stumps.

My only complaint was the $85/night...but we had a fabulous time regardless.
