The small town of Felton is hidden in the wildly beautiful San Lorenzo Valley on the northern side of Santa Cruz County along Highway 9. Not far south from San Francisco and just north of Monterey, this former rough-and-tumble logging center is full of early California history, cultural attractions and hundreds of miles of natural splendor to explore.
When you set out on a journey in an RV rental from Felton, you’ll experience the rustic Santa Cruz mountains, pristine beaches, lush farmland, and old-growth redwood forests (the oldest, tallest living trees on earth). You’re also within a short distance from numerous atmospheric towns dotted throughout the region.
Unlimited outdoor fun awaits you when you book an RV in Felton. The surrounding region boasts 14 State Parks offering everything from water excursions to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. You’re not far from the magnificent Big Basin Redwoods, California’s oldest state park. There are more than 80 miles of trails here with diverse habitats that wind past waterfalls, wildlife, and the largest ancient redwood groves still standing south of San Francisco. Set out from here to trek the epic Skyline-to-Sea trail. Thrill seekers can see the redwoods from a different perspective by taking an exhilarating zipline or sky bridge on a Redwood Canopy Tour.
The many impressive beaches of Santa Cruz County offer a variety of world-famous ocean activities including surfing, wind sailing, and breathtaking settings for sunset picnics. The Pacific Ocean is teeming with marine creatures -- wander the shoreline and tidepools or hop aboard a water taxi from the Santa Cruz Harbor to see whales, otters, and stand-up paddleboarders in action. The surrounding forests, meadows, and marshlands provide a paradise for birdwatching and observing other creatures unique to this area.
If you’re a rock climbing and bouldering enthusiast, head in your RV rental to Castle Rock State Park and tackle its open rock faces. The San Lorenzo River extends throughout Felton and beyond. In summer the river is typically knee deep or less with swimming holes to float in and areas where you can paddle in a kayak. Folks who enjoy fishing are able to cast a line in designated areas here or at nearby Loch Lomond Recreation Area.
You have an array of amenities and settings to choose from when it comes time to park your motorhome rental from Felton. The Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort offers guests a year-round, family-oriented campground with full hook-ups and a recreational clubhouse, among other amenities. The wooded RV park is right on the San Lorenzo River and backed by Henry Cowell State Park, making it a great base camp for outdoor adventures. Just be advised Highway 9 north from Santa Cruz is not always a recommended route for RV’s and trailers, so plan ahead for alternate travel routes to this park.
There are also a number of places to stay with a seaside view. The scenic Santa Cruz Harbor RV Park has 12 RV sites with full hookups (no showers), located just minutes from the coast and Santa Cruz County towns. Look out on colorful watercraft from bayfront restaurants or spend a day beachcombing at nearby Twin Lakes.
You could also consider New Brighton State Beach Campground. This pet-friendly site has full hookups for your RV and is perched on a wooded bluff of Pine and Cypress trees. The view overlooking the Monterey Bay from the amphitheater and large picnic area is idyllic, as is the large sandy beach you can walk to from the premises.
The wooded downtown of Felton is full of nostalgic remnants from early California. Housed in the valley’s oldest church building, the San Lorenzo Valley Museum has permanent collections and rotating exhibits that give a great sense of this region’s interesting past. You might also want to visit the 80-foot long Felton Covered Bridge, built in 1892 as the primary entrance to the former logging town. It's considered to be the tallest covered bridge in the nation and although it closed to traffic in 1937 you can still enjoy a walk on it.
If you’re into trains and have time, take your Felton camper rental, over to visit the historic Roaring Camp Railroad which serves as part theme park/part museum. Immerse yourself in the area’s history by wandering the Old West-themed grounds featuring gold panning, false-front buildings, and a general store. Top it off with an open-air ride winding through the redwoods aboard an old-time steam engine.
In Felton, you can dine in a vintage building that once entertained lumberjacks and railroad workers, discover a one-of-a-kind Bigfoot Museum, and browse quaint roadside shops. The town is only several miles from exploring nearby country and coastal towns like Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz (the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a destination for kids of all ages). Renting an RV from Felton also places you within easy driving distance from San Francisco should you be in the mood for more urban city sightseeing.
