Mount Madonna
Welcome to Mt. Madonna County Park, one of Santa Clara County's most majestic regional park and recreation areas. The redwood forest dominates this 4,605-acre park, characteristic of the Santa Cruz Mountain range. To the east, the park overlooks the Santa Clara Valley, and to the west, Monterey Bay. As the slopes of Mt. Madonna descend toward the valley, the landscape changes from redwood forest to oak woodland, dense chaparral and grassy meadows. Park visitors may learn about areas where Ohlone Indians hunted and harvested and will understand why cattle baron Henry Miller spent his summers here. Enjoy your visit today and return often to the pristine redwood forest of Mt. Madonna County Park. Mt. Madonna Stables offers horseback trail rides, which are a wonderful way to explore the beauty of this park.
Each group campsite comes with picnic tables and a BBQ pit and/or fire ring. No Fires are permitted on the ground. No wood gathering is permitted. Fires in BBQ pits must be kept beneath the grate. Please allow fires in BBQ pits and rings to burn out (water will damage the grill and pit). Open fires and the use of charcoal briquettes may be restricted or prohibited due to fire danger levels during the summer season. You may wish to have an alternate method of cooking available. Camp stoves and similar devices with a controlled enclosed flame would be allowed. Please read all posted signs upon check in. Some parks may have wood bundles for purchase. Call the park prior to arrival to check if wood is currently available.
