Cotillion Gardens RV Park

Rimante Barauskaite

Lovely place, but never before I paid for a 9 months old baby, not even when we are eating in restaurants. So yes, every extra person (kids) costs and 80$ for a small tent spot without electricity or water is crazy. They close the pool 6pm, and God forbid you will pass your check out time. Hot tub was closed today, so don’t feel that we got what we paid for.

Going downhill!! We've stayed here probably 5 times in the past three years and this trip will probably be the last. You can tell the new owners are just money hungry! Park was beyond overcrowded, with some camps having at least 20 people in them, with 3-4 cars as well. NO JOKE. Instead of it being relaxing, there was blaring music all day, people screaming, kids running through people's campsites, fireworks (though they are illegal in SC County!), bathrooms are dirty and often out of toilet paper and no staff to be found after about 5pm (they don't even restock before leaving). Owners made the entrance like a carnival with a bounce house and carnival games so almost impossible to drive in and out. We used to love this place and always recommended it .... But no more.

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.

I was month to month and my stay was great. Staff very hospitable and accommodating. I very much felt at home and made many quality friends. It was a bit sad to leave as I had to relocate for another Job location. But thank you all at Cotillion for an outstanding pleasemt stay love you guys.

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!

We've visited twice and really enjoy it. It's very clean and the spots are really nice and it doesn't feel like an "RV park" concrete jungle. We get a spot that has quite a bit of space. There are little trails leading right out of the park which are really nice for little nature walks. Also great location for anything...hiking, mountain biking, or even for visiting Santa Cruz wharf/boardwalk/beach etc.

This is an older facility with some unusually arranged camping spots. We were given a spot that backed in behind a horseshoe pit. To one side was what I would consider a normal spot that ran parallel to us. On the other side, the area was split up into 3 spots that were perpendicular to us, and rather close. So close that when the camper tried to pull in, the copilot had to get out and make sure that they wouldn't hit us. If you are choosing this RV park to go on the wooded state trails, be aware that dogs are NOT allowed. While we were here, a tree fell along the main road, and took out two power polls. This left the camp without power. No one came around and talked to us about this. It would have been nice if someone would have come around and told us what was happening. Even nicer if they offered some recompense for no electricity. Everyone with a generator, including nearby houses, started up their generators. So, instead of peace and quiet we had two days of noisy generators.
