Santa Cruz area Campgrounds

Hi guys

this is my first post, I’ve been lurking for a while, and really just admiring the work you guys do, its awesome. I was wondering if anyone can help me find a campground in or around Santa Cruz, preferably the Pleasure point area. I’m thinking of heading up there in a few days for a short little trip. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Brad

New Brighton State Beach is the closesty. I wonder if there are openings though. It’s a pretty popular place.

Hey thanks Halcyon, I’m gonna call about reservations tomorrow, hopefully there will be openings.

Thanks,

The KOA Santa Cruz is really nice too. You might pay a little more for a cabin. It’s about a 15 minute drive in from San Andreas Rd, if you sneak in the 'back way" on Park Ave. and down to Cliff Road. A quick study of a SC map will show you what I am talking about.

I think you can camp at Manresa Beach S.P. also

BO, not sure if you’ve seen this site… it’s a list of the state parks in santa cruz county… i hope that’s useful…

Thanks for your help guys,

I called a couple of camp grounds and they are pretty much all booked. Luckily I got a hold of a friend and found a place to stay.

Thanks,

Brad

Manresa campground is really nice as well. It’s down the road from KOA and just a short walk to the surf. It’s about a 10 minute drive to Pleasure Point but well worth it. My favorite campground along the Monterey Bay coast.
