Camp Loma
29650 Highland Way, Los Gatos, CA 95033
Our venue is up in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the redwoods🌲 Most of the walking surfaces are grass or dirt. The bathrooms are more on the rustic side (similar to state parks bathrooms). There is a creek fed pool on-site, and a shower stall in the bathroom for those camping! Bring extra layers as it may get cold after the sun sets.
There is plenty of parking onsite. There are two dirt lots. When routing to Camp Loma on Google Maps or Apple Maps, you will be directed to the first smaller lot. To access the second lot, just follow Highland Way past Camp Loma and you will quickly reach a dirt road leading up and to the left ending at the second lot (this is also where campers who are staying in RVs/cars/etc. can park for the night).
The drive in/out is a rural, windy road! If you do not plan to camp and will be driving out after the celebration, please plan accordingly. There is very little cell service at the venue (limiting the ability to call for an Uber/Lyft), but if you need a ride to/from the venue, we can help with booking ahead of time.
We have the whole property reserved until the next morning! This means that there is plenty of space for all of us to camp!
There are 3 main camping locations: One is close to the dinner area and bonfire pit, another area is across the road from the venue and has dispersed campsites which will offer a quieter and more private feel, and then the last area is a dirt lot where RV's and/or camper vans can park. If you plan to camp, you do not need to take any additional steps towards reserving or booking a site. We can set up camp when we arrive and there is plenty of space for everyone! Campers will be responsible for bringing all of their own gear, though we will provide all food and drink!
If you do not plan to camp, we recommend booking a hotel or AirBnB as soon as possible! June 14th happens to also be UCSC graduation weekend AND father's day weekend!
