Cotillion Gardens RV Park

Horrible management this year. Front desk girls soo rude. Power went out for a long time and there was no apologies. We kept getting blamed for multiple things that were not us, even after trying to explain that we were there and our dog was not barking they kept harassing us. Many of our friends felt targeted and harassed this year. Prices went up substantially from last year, we have stayed there multiple years and this was our last. They are NOT worth hassle or horrible customer service from the front desk. We felt constantly watched everywhere we went by the maintenance crew on the golf carts. Even near the bathrooms. Not ok.

Beware: the website and park map are misleading. We booked a partial hookup RV site expecting enough room for our tent, pop up and jeep, only to discover at check-in that we had a “unique site” with no explanation. What they failed to mention was that we were in a “companion site” right in the middle of a large family reunion. Our tiny site was squeezed between multiple RVs, trucks, tents, and vehicles belonging to one large group. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and gracious, but we felt like intruders being parked in the middle of their gathering. There wasn’t even room for us to use the fire ring we reserved and signed a waiver for. We mostly stayed in our pop-up or left for the beach. Several campers in the group questioned why our site wasn’t marked as part of the group’s reservation, and honestly, so did we. A simple warning at check-in would have saved a lot of frustration, and at that time, we could’ve possibly changed to another spot that was still available. On the plus side, the pool looked nice, and the clubhouse was great. On the downside, there aren’t enough adult-sized bathrooms. Also, someone in the neighboring group repeatedly used the area directly behind our tent as a bathroom starting around 2 am and woke me up every time.

Update: I received a call and apology for what we dealt with during our stay. In the end, be very careful that you don't accidentally book a site that has a companion site attached to it, unless you'rewith a companion. They also mentioned there is no limit on site guests during the day; only overnight guests. When I said they might want to recondider that in companion sites, it seemed it will continue to be their policy. I used to stay here a lot when I had a pop-up camper, so my oldest child begged to come back. They have done a good job updating, and the hot tub was a great addition. However, we learned on our 2nd night that there is a companion site, attached to our site. If you don't book it, anyone can. On Saturday night there were 20+ people and 5 vehicles trying to park in this "companion site". The 4th vehicle made it so we couldn't walk out of the site, so we asked them to move it. They did, but they stayed up all night partying, with 6 visits from park staff telling them they needed to close it down. The next day I asked for more info on what portion of the site was designated to the companion site, and it was a fraction of what they took up. The camp host said it was illegal for them to have that many people in the site, so not sure why they did not get kicked out. The camp host was appalled by what happened and said the owners would come by our site to discuss. We received no visit, no email, no phone call, etc. The next night a 24 foot motor home took up the companion site. Luckily they were a quiet family not trying to take advantage of the situation. The lack of attention from the extremely obtrusive guests make me never want to come back. I hope the owners learn that ignoring those affected by other guests, only attracts more of the entitled guests. We unfortunately will not be going back, despite the convenient access to trails and upgraded pool area.

This place is awesome! We had a fantastic stay camping in the amazing redwoods with family. The location is perfect with so many trails nearby to explore, and a short drive to the boardwalk. The bathhouse was clean and the pool area is a great place to hang out. All of the staff were welcoming and helpful. Shout out to Marty for pointing out the albino redwood tree, and sharing history of the RV park!

Glamped in this area for years, first time at Cotillion. It's cozy and quiet. Not far from Santa Cruz, and right outside of Felton. Site 35 is great, it's tucked away in the back, and has a trailhead to Henry Cowell state park to the side of the site. There is free wifi at the sites, a game room with a few arcades, ping pong, foozball, and a billiards table. There is a pool, jacuzzi, basketball, a small playground for the littles and a dog park. Probably gonna make this the new home-base for the Santa Cruz area.
