This campground is near Santa Cruz... It's our first time here. We actually had a trip booked here last year in August. We canceled because I was getting really big and uncomfortable at around 8 months pregnant. It's a good thing we canceled since my oldest son got sick with a fever of unknown origin and I delivered 6 weeks early!
So here we are again giving it another shot. Our baby boy is now 5.5 months old.
Driving through San Jose took longer than I'd like because of some traffic. Going home was a lot faster!
The park is nice. It's right off the ocean and has beach access (although it's a little hike down).
We found out there were a few sites with hook ups (water and electric). That's pretty awesome since the sites are not set up like parking lots (the only reason why we've avoided hook ups). It still has a little bit of privacy.
We usually bring the red wagon for walks but daddy forgot it but I thought that was a good thing because this way, the boys were "forced" to walk which gives them a exercise and a chance to explore.

The weather was sooooo nice. It was raining a little when we left home and very muggy, foggy and just depressing. Over at the campgrounds, it was nice and warm. The sun was out which actually made it hot (especially for January). Hubby put on shorts and a T-Shirt. Why didn't I pack shorts for the boys and myself? I completely forgot and was thinking it would be cold all weekend.
The next day we headed out to the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Logan and Connor got to eat cotton candy and rode on the Merry-go-round. I thought Connor would be scared but he really enjoyed it. It was $1 per ticket and 4 tickets for the ride so I thought $12 for the 3 of us was a bit much. The wrist bands are the way to go when the boys are older. I should have let daddy ride with them because I got sick. I should have known my motion sickness issue wouldn't handle it well.

Overall, I loved the location. My biggest issue is wind and I don't know if we just got lucky but it wasn't once windy. As much as I love Doran Beach & Wright's Beach in Bodega Bay, it can be really windy and I end up just sitting in the trailer with the baby.
