My family (two adults, a five year-old, and two year-old) had a great time staying at Sundance Meadows!
This was a super fun way to experience camping with the kids. The bed within the tent was super comfy, and the host, John was nice enough to bring down two futons with extra bedding to give the kids their own little beds as well.
We were able to grill up hot dogs for dinner, and then enjoy s'mores over the campfire. The hosts provide some nice amenities, including some dishes, equipment for the grill, a first aid kit, and a coffee pot with steeped coffee for the mornings.
The private camp toilet near the tent made bathroom breaks easy for the kiddos.
We had a great time playing card games by the campfire, and even saw an owl swooping into a nearby tree which was awesome!
One other family was staying in the tent nearby, they also had young kids, and were very friendly.
We felt very safe and comfortable the whole time.
Everything was impressively clean for a campsite! I couldn't believe how well-kept the tent is. Bugs were not an issue, inside, or outside the tent. I didn't even see a single mosquito.
The only issue I had, which was not too big a deal, was that once we got up the hill towards the campsite, I could barely get signal on my phone. This is great for unplugging and just enjoying some relaxing time with the family, but I just thought some people might want to know that ahead of time. I wasn't able to see directions on Google Maps, or my instructions from Natalie about checking in, once we were close. It worked out fine for us, and John came down to take care of us and show us around, so we had no problem, but I do recommend making sure you have a way of viewing any maps, directions, or information from AirBnB that you'll need, even if you go off-line, just in case.
We drove the short distance to the town of Capitola, and enjoyed a fun day at the beach, and experiencing the ambiance.
We only stayed one night, but really enjoyed it and hope to go back again, and see more of the area. There is a lot of great stuff to do in the surrounding area. You couldn't ask for a better camping experience, or friendlier hosts!
