Smithwoods RV– Felton, CA is about a 10-15 minute drive from Santa Cruz. We really enjoyed our week in the Redwoods. The area is beautiful and there are many things to do in the area. The RV Park is in a beautiful setting and I don’t think the temperature went higher than 86ø. We only had one morning that was cool and foggy and it burned off by 10:00am. It also cooled down nicely during the night, chose to use the heater a couple of times to take off the chill. Really, the only negative remark that I would say is that the bathrooms that are down where the bulk of the sites are located do not have showers. The showers are up the hill next to the pool. But this really turned out to be a minor inconvenience.

The campground requires a 50% deposit 90 days prior to arrival (April 30th) with the balance due 30 days prior (June 30th). I will calculate your site fees and the deposit amount needed to secure your spot. Any sites not secured by a timely receipt of the 90 day deposit will be made available to the those on the waiting list (if applicable) or released back to the campground.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The calculated fees will include the added cost of reserving site #72 next to the fire pit group so we can use it for any potlucks, games, kids activities, karaoke or any other activites. If all 34 sites are filled that's only $6.17 more per site for the entire weekend. If only 20 sites are filled it's still only $10.49 each.

Anyone wishing to extend their visit beyond the 4 nights of the rally may do so by calling the campground. In order to take the benefit of all their discounts, all fees will be paid through me, so be sure to let me know ASAP of your site # and extended dates.

Please complete the following information and return to me via PM or e-mail to reserve your spot. After I receive your information I'll send you a PM or e-mail with your deposit information and where to mail your check. You could copy and paste the following list.

Please do e-mail or PM me should you have any questions or concerns.

[OC Campers]

Sounds like fun Bonnie.  We have been wanting to go to the Redwoods.  Are the sites full hookup?
 
School starts usually the 3rd week of August around here so for us the  middle to latter part of July works well.
 
Jacqui

[boncrab]

Good question Jacqui,

 
I believe all their sites are full service sites -water, electric, sewer, cable tv, picnic tables, fire pits.
 
Bonnie

[Dee4j]

yes I'm interested..I was suppose to stay her for a week after Lopez, but my back had other plans..no way i can give you a date..when we go we have an alternative agenda..we may go in June right when school gets out...I won't know until after Jan. it will all depend on what kevin is doing and when my sister gets vacation ..if i had to guess last weekend in July would maybe work

[SURFcampers]

Bonnie, Please count us in! Over the past 3 years, we've stayed at Smithwoods several times. The owners are super friendly and there's lots to do in the area...surfing, Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, steam train ride through the redwoods, great pool and rec room and one loop features a huge firepit and gathering area (Dee). Some of the sites overlook a very picturesque brook.  On the selfish side, it would be the shortest travel we've done to camp with this great group of folks.

Bonnie,

WE live in the San Diego area and its a long trip for us.  Depending on the gas situation next year.  I personally would like to see one closer or in the middle for us.  We have attended that last 5 years of SCCampers Rallies.

[jendak760]

We would be interested. This place looks beautiful!

[Dee4j]

I see alot of votes for Aug anything after Aug 10th is out for me

[Recumbentman]

Bonnie
We would also be interested in this rally. I vote for the last half of July

[kimrb266]

We're in.  Either date is good for us.  We're planning on going to Santa Cruz next year anyway and we may do an all day trip into San Francisco to visit Alcatraz and other sites.

We are also going to attempt to get a site in Yosemite in July/Aug so let's see what happens.

[Chez Way]

Bonnie,
This sounds and looks like a great spot.  We are definitely interested and will just wait to see what dates you choose before we can make the commitment.  What about a 4th of July rally?

[dkutz]

I would love to go, we love the area and have been to the train before its very beautiful.  My first choice would be early summer like right after school lets out.  Or First week in august I think.

Now if I can talk the DW into the long haul!

[58Air]

We too are interested, just let us know the dates - thanks

[6Quigs]

Seeing as it is only 23 miles from our house, we are interested.
Not sure what exactly our plans are for next summer, but sign us up and we will make it work. We will need 2 sites as Margaret's sister will want to camp with us.

[cjpoppin]

This sounds like fun and at this point and time it looks like a go for us so put us down for a site.  Think the end of July is good or what ever the group goes with.
