Big Basin Redwoods State Park
Big Basin Redwoods State Park is one of the few state park parks offering year-round camping in Santa Cruz County, with tent and rustic tent cabins. There are a total of 142 campsites at Big Basin Redwoods State Park, including some that can accommodate RVs up to 27 feet and trailers up to 24 feet.
Some of the 142 unique campsites, such as Huckleberry Campground, are open year-round, while others, such as Sempervirens Campground and Wastahi Campground, are only open seasonally. There are also tent cabins and areas that can accommodate large groups of 40 to 50 people, such as Sequoia and Sky Meadow. Visitors who are traveling through the park on horseback can also stay in one of this horse campgrounds, which include a corral for their riding partner to spend the night.
If you're looking for creature comforts, Little Basin also has a kitchen, pavilion and recreation hall that are all available to rent. For a step up from pitching your own tent, the Huckleberry Campground offers tent cabins with wooden floors, walls, and canvas roofs. They come with two double beds and mattresses, although you'll have to bring—or rent—bedding unless you book one of the deluxe cabins. There are no electrical hook-ups for RVs, but there are dump stations.
