Pleasure Point
Tucked between Rodeo Creek and Corcoran Lagoon in Santa Cruz's legendary East Side, you'll find all 16 of Pleasure Point's full-hookup RV spots. Here, we wake up to birdsong.
Step out of your rig and breathe the kind of ocean air you can taste. A few more steps and you're on the beach in no time, with all the time to watch the sun light up our south swell.
Spend your day maxxing or relaxing, then catch the sunset perched in the park — it’s all good in Santa Cruz.
Out here it’s west of the west, which means the surf and the sun, and the sights and the sounds must be your compass.
Ask and we can help you search…it’s a lot more fun to find.
But first, you need a basecamp.

Full disclosure
Less park ⇒ more Point
Built in 1978 for small Class-C rigs, we're still a tiny coastal park. We've stretched out where we can, but the fits are tight.
- No clubhouse
- No picnic tables or grills
- No propane
- No store or food on site

All the peoplethe Point
Beach RV Pleasure Point is for everyone
Hook up with us and camp next to salt-brined surfers and smiling snowbirds marinating in the sun. Families back from the beach and Europeans on their big California adventure.
We're a second home for Valley folks beating the heat, digital nomads working soft, and athletes chasing race day. But it's the sandpipers, snowy egrets, and 224 other species of birds* who own the place — the only long-termers allowed.

Before you book
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Every site is compact. The booking system filters by your RV's length and slide-outs — just remember your site length needs to include space to park your vehicle: some sites park in line, some perpendicular at your site.
Maximum stay is 21 nights, with a 2-night move-off between stays. We don't offer long-term leases, but we do offer seasonal monthly terms from October through March.
Check-in is 1:00–10:00 PM, check-out by noon. It's self-service — a link in your confirmation email checks you in, so you can pull right into your site. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for a fee.
Cancellations and modifications: call, email, or text the office — there's no online cancellation. Below applies to stays of 30 days or less.

- Holidays and special events: no refund.
