Westminster Retreat
Clean, comfortable, spacious. Beautiful grounds, easy going (for strolling). The beds are comfy. Overall, a sanctuary that helped our group to relax and get down to business, but still feel very welcome and at ease. The food was excellent. The smells alone were wonderful, but taste was great. Delivered on time, as we requested. Healthy, visually appealing. Director was very good at helping us decide what food choices would work well for our group.
— Jennie McLoughlin, San Mateo County Office of Education
Westminster was lovely. Well kept and room to roam. Our organization was cared for very well. Melissa and staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We will want to come back.

The staff is the best. It has always been but they had special decorations for our 25th year at the site - even a cake with candles! To honor the staff and site, we purchased 2 trees to plant on the property. The kitchen staff are wonderful - They seem like family to us.

We absolutely felt at home. The staff has done a wonderful job with Westminster. We’ve seen some wonderful improvements at the site since we’ve been there. Fair price for all that is provided and the atmosphere too!
— Marie Teuscher, Livermore Lab Employee Services Association
Little Basin
Trails at Little Basin give you a great look at the redwood forest and the plants found near Big Basin. From orchids to tan oaks to ferns and lichen, it is an area rich in plant variety that is fairly easy to access via the trails.
— Heather
Little Basin is a fantastic tucked-away jewel of a campground that is near enough to run out for a burger, but far enough to lose yourself in the redwoods.
— Chris Soriano
The place was clean. If you keep it the way it is, i.e., Recreation room available, kids area,. sports courts maintained, that would be awesome!
— Manush
Very informative and friendly. We appreciated that they came around to check on us periodically.
— Don Chiu
Valley of the Moon
Wow! Four-star restaurant quality food. Fresh, plentiful and tasty. Everyone raved about the food, and we all appreciated the home-baked goods, especially the turtle bread, muffins, coffeecake and baked desserts. The facility was clean, and the setting beautiful. Cabins were clean and comfortable. Appreciated camp fires and hot chocolate at night.
— Merle Saber, StarVista
Food was great. None of our boys ever left the dining hall hungry, and we have some BIG boys.
— Mike Johnson, Franklin High School Football
Thank you for hosting our recent retreat at Valley of the Moon. Our committee appreciated how easy it was for all of us to work with you in planning the retreat and in person. Many of our members believe it was the most successful retreat we’ve ever held. We look forward to working with you again next year.
— Eileen Flanagan, Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO)
Everyone praised the friendliness and responsiveness of all the staff. We definitely felt cared for. A wonderful contrast with the (non-UCCR) place we’ve been in the past 20 years. Thank you.
— John Bear, Bay Area Circle Dancers

Camp Cazadero
Clean, comfortable, beautiful. Good food. We loved the organic stuff. Burritos were good. So was the chicken. Nice assortment of veggies and fruit.
— Laurie Morgan, San Jose State University
The Staff were helpful and available when needed - with a smile.
— Berkeley Chinese Baptist Church
Night hikes at Cazadero are enchanting. Teachers listen to the calling of spotted owls while the excited laughter of the kids floats across the meadow. The layout of the cabins around a meadow is a great focus for the WOLF School community while the incredible diversity of wildlife to be seen on the trails is ideal for teaching about the web of life. Newt migration time is the best!
— Heather Butler, Web of Life Field School
Camp Cazadero is a beautiful site. We’ve been running our program there for over 20 years -the pool, the meadow, and the cascade falls are all ideal for kids. Our program is built around Camp Caz!
— Kathy Bell, United Church of Christ, Kids Camp
