We have a spot in the backyard of our home in Santa Cruz that can accommodate a van or RV up to 20'. The space is enclosed behind a rolling gate so it is private and secure. We are in town so there will be typical city noises. Our home is about a 20 minute walk to downtown and about a 40 minute walk to the beach. The back yard is pet friendly and secure. Suggested Local Attractions:Many hiking opportunities, biking, Boardwalk and Wharf, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Harbor, golf

House Rules

No smoking on property, no generators, keep the back gate closed, we prefer to help guests get situated when they arrive and when they leave because the area is small and can be a bit tricky getting in and out. Please arrive before dark.

Location

host Profile

Hosted By Doug and Donna

Age:

65+

We are a retired couple who love to travel in our sprinter van. We have been campers for many years and just got home from a ten week trip as far northeast as Newfoundland Details: We love to meet new people and connect with locals when we're traveling which is why this boondocker idea really resonates with us. We live in a lovely area and we know how hard it is to find a place to park here without being hassled. Most of the state parks here are booked very far in advance so it makes traveling without an itinerary very challenging. We've lived in Santa Cruz for about 40 years so we know the area well and would be happy to give advice if it is wanted. Our most enjoyable travels have included meeting locals and we look forward to being both a host and a user.

    wonderful stay! safely tucked into a enclosed driveway. the hosts were extremely kind and accommodating for our less than 2 hour request to stay the night due to a snag in our travels. would absolutely stay again
