Cotillion Gardens RV Park

Ive been visiting Santa Cruz for decades and had never checked this place out. Boy was I missing out on a hidden gem!

With direct access to Henry Cowell and a short drive to town there’s plenty to explore. The staff is fantastic, grounds kept clean, and the redwoods are gorgeous.

We had an awesome stay at cotillion rv park. It's true that spaces could be tight, We have a 25' trailer with a 19' truck but it fits perfectly. The neighbor was a little close to our right side just because they have slide outs. We are at site 23, it has full hookups and is well maintained, with an old picnic table and also a metal fire ring. It has easy access to hiking which we took advantage of, walking to the san Lorenzo river and Old train trestle bridge. The roads going to the park are curvy and narrow but the view is astonishing but make sure you pay attention because a lot of hikers and bikers park around the area and it is close to henry cowell redwoods state park. We will be adding this to our favorite rv campsite and probably visit again and stay a Little longer. One more thing, this rv camp site is a nature camp site and not a luxury camp site, stop comparing it to those sites, this site is perfect as it can be if you want to be around trees and nature. 👍

This was our first time staying here and we were very happy. The end of October was definitely the time to stay here. We arrived on Monday and left on Friday and the park was pleasantly quite. Our site was neat and clean, had ample space to enjoy outside and we backed up to a little creek. The lady who checked me in was pleasant, provided good advice on how to approach our site and back in making set-up a breeze. We like a quiet camp so I don't know if we'd come back during the summer busy season, but we will definitely come back in fall and winter.

Just got done staying a week here. Very well kept campsites. Some are really tight. We were in 40 and were happy with it. Very quiet and peaceful. Super nice employees. My only gripe is how small the back bathroom is. It needs to be extended like 2 feet so the stall door isn’t in your face or even cut it down to one toilet. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay and a great base for exploring the area.

We visited here recently and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The facilities (hot showers, clean toilets with tissue, laundry facility, and Wi-Fi too) and closeness to the shops kept any tenting fears away.
The fire pits were great and the open cooking area ensured lots of yummy hot food was served.
The only challenge was doing the dishes with cold water in the sink. Will need to level up and be more prepared next time. I am a little jealous of the many big RVs nearby!
