Santa Cruz, Dive into Coastal Cool with Your RV

Forget theme park crowds and overpriced hotels! Santa Cruz whispers "surf's up" for adventurous RV travelers seeking an authentic California escape. Ditch the tourist traps and park your rolling home base amidst sun-kissed beaches, towering redwoods, and a vibrant community that pulses with laid-back vibes and endless adventure.

Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Beach Bum Bliss on a Budget

Forget fancy resorts, embrace beachfront freedom! Pitch your RV at iconic Sunset State Beach or Manresa State Beach, waking up to crashing waves and epic sunrises. Surf's up, sunbathers welcome – this is your private oceanfront paradise.

Harbor hideaways with a twist - Skip the cramped hotel rooms and opt for marinas like Santa Cruz Harbor RV Park or Capitola Venetian Hotel & Marina. Enjoy waterfront access, launch your kayak, and explore charming harbor towns – all within walking distance.

Redwood retreat for the soul - Escape the crowds and nestle your RV amongst towering redwoods at Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort or Ben Lomond Campground. Hike scenic trails, breathe in the fresh air, and witness the majesty of these ancient giants.

Beyond the Boardwalk Bonanza

Steam train time travel - Ditch the car and embark on a nostalgic journey through lush forests and towering redwoods on the Redwood Forest Railway or Santa Cruz Beach Train. Let the whistle blow and the adventure begin!

Mystery solved? Or just plain weird? Challenge your perception of reality at the quirky roadside attraction, Mystery Spot. Tilt your world sideways and try not to lose your mind (or lunch).

Downtown digs with a difference - Skip the generic souvenir shops and stroll along Pacific Avenue, a haven for eclectic boutiques, independent art galleries, and cafes serving up the local buzz. Don't miss the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, but this time, explore like a local – skip the overpriced funnel cakes and grab a craft beer with a view.
