About this location

Stay Among the Redwoods at a Wild Horse Rescue Rescue
Welcome to a truly unique and soul-soothing escape nestled under the majestic redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our campspace is located on a peaceful, non-profit wild horse rescue sanctuary—a haven for both animals and humans alike.
Wake up to birdsong, the rustle of the trees, and the occasional soft whinny of rescued horses. This is more than just a place to camp—it's an opportunity to reconnect with nature, support a meaningful cause, and experience the quiet magic of life under the canopy.

Just 10 minutes to:
The scenic beaches of Santa Cruz
The iconic Santa Cruz Boardwalk
Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park
The quirky and fun Mystery Spot
Only 15 minutes to:
The historic Brookdale Lodge
The trails and waterfalls of Big Basin National Park
The coastal cliffs of Wilder Ranch State Park
🏕️ What to Expect:

A true off-the-beaten-path experience—perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those looking to unplug
Occasional visits from deer, coyotes, hawks, wild turkey's and more
Opportunities to learn about our rescued wild horses and the work we do

We only offer one spot but you can choose to pitch your tent in the forested area or under the canopy. The redwoods provide shade from the summer heat and electricity and water are available. The areas are both flat and hilly depending on whether you choose the canopy or the forest area. Small tents and campers (camper vans cannot park in the forest area) only and a maximum of four people. You will be staying in close proximity to horses both in paddocks and stalls. It's a very short walk to the Glenwood Preserve where you can hike or bike. Dogs are only allowed on the West Glenwood trails. Only well behaved dogs allow given safety concerns around horses. Very accessible area, quiet but it is located at the end of a private road with other houses.
