Most sites looked like they were on top of each other. Ours was not, but it was also next to the Office, so lots of idling trucks during the day as folks checked in or were leaving. The best spots looked to be the ones by the river. They have wifi, but good luck getting anything done on it. My t-mobile phone said it had 1 bar LTE, but nothing ever loaded. Santa Cruz is just down the road. Henry Cowell is across the river, but you need to drive up or down the road a bit if you want to get into the park.

This place is well kept and almost every campsite is covered with tall redwoods, plus there's a river that runs along some campsites.

The internet works well and you are close driving distance to Santa Cruz, the beach and other parks. It can get chilly as the trees block most sun so bring lots of firewood. Some of the hookups are in funky places, which may place your RV too close to another. The train whistle during the day from the local Roaring Camp Railway is a nice touch. I recommend reserving a ride ahead of time and climbing on board.The most popular sites are 25, 49, 19, 20, 44, 74, 62, 10, 81, 41, 42, & 23 according to the front desk.

Stayed here for 3 nights, and the location is fantastic. There is something magical about being in the big trees. As others mentioned, the sites are crazy close, and there are a lot of people. It might have been spring break, but there were lots of families with kids and gear, but everyone was very respectful and kept to quiet hours.

As others mentioned, the sites are crazy close, and there are a lot of people. It might have been spring break, but there were lots of families with kids and gear, but everyone was very respectful and kept to quiet hours. Kids looked like they were having lots of fun and not rowdy, just lively. I ended up working off the wifi and occasionally has to switch to cellular for video calls but everything was fine - especially if you just need to be on email and have a few audio Zoom calls. Staff was very courteous. Note that this site is the only one without sewer hookups but you can pull into any empty site to dump as needed (saw about 2-3 rotating empty sites daily during my trip). No walking trail to Henry Cowell, but it’s a short drive away and you can park on the side of Hwy 9 to avoid park parking.

We stayed here late in February. The park was pretty full of campers but we had decent privacy. Full hookups and sites that were easily accessible.

Full hookups and sites that were easily accessible. We had an easy contact free check in and actually never had a need to contact any staff there the three nights we stayed. Our site backed up to the nice little playground, which was close enough that we could watch over our kiddos playing on the playground while relaxing in front of our trailer. They will deliver a rentable fire pit and wood if you want, for a few of course. We enjoyed being under the tall redwoods and took a hike in the giant redwoods at Henry Crowell state park, a two minute drive away. Overall, we would stay there again in a heartbeat. However it looks like the summer rates are a little pricier.

Redwoods provide nice shade when it's hot. Paved roadway makes for easy walking. For a longer walk it is difficult since access road has not sidewalk and very little shoulder. Two nearby neighborhood streets helped. Good AT&T cell coverage. Nearby public parks. Santa Cruz 20 minutes away. Be sure to follow the directions on the resorts website, access on highway 9 is difficult if you come in the wrong way. Google suggested a shorter reasonable route for an automobile, not an RV.

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.

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.

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...moreThis 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 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.
