Villa Macala

Villa Macala is a 20-acre oasis of detailed landscape, orchards and Southern CA native planting while complimenting the natural rocks and gorgeous views.  This master planned 20 acres is a great escape from city life.  Come take in the views, enjoy the many hiking trails and rest in the peace, quiet and beauty of Villa Macala.  *NOTE:  Scroll down to RV/Tent sites to book for a larger tent camping party over 4 people or for a camper van under 14 feet.

Overlooking the Hemet Valley with gorgeous panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains, Villa Macala is reminiscent of an Italian Villa. The property landscape includes Olive Orchards throughout, a growing vineyard, fig trees, pomegranate trees and more set in the natural rock landscape. (NOTE: We have tent camp sites only and can accommodate camper vans and truck campers depending on size and which site selected, however we CANNOT accommodate pull behind trailers, pull behind campers or RVs of any kind).

Villa Macala is 15 minutes from Diamond Valley Lake where you can enjoy a wildflower trail, fishing or mountain bike trails, museum and water park. It is 20-30 minutes to Pachea Trail and Simpson Park where you can enjoy more great hiking and mountain bike trails.  It is also a 30-minute drive to Temecula Wine Country. 

Enjoy walking the grounds of the 20 acres and taking in the views. 

We have 2 outdoor bathrooms, one was most recently added one at our Elderberry Camp Site (site 1), closer to site 4 our Oaks Campsite as well.  (Please note our 2nd bathroom is a good walk uphill from the campsites). Currently the bathroom closer to the sites has a toilet and sink and shower still to come. Our larger bathroom (a little walk uphill) campers can use with a shower and small fridge to store your food.  We also have a playground with swing set for kids to enjoy. Please bring your own tents.

OTHER SUGGESTED ITEMS TO BRING:

Your own fire wood, cooking wood, starter material, lighters, utensils, etc. We offer firewood bundles for $7 you can choose to purchase at time of booking or bring cash.

Your own cooler to store food close to your site and grill that you need on hand since the small fridge is a good walk from those 2 places. We sell bags of ice for $4. Bring cash if you would like to purchase.

Your own camp chairs.

Easy up shade. Sunblock, cool clothes. We are closed for the bulk of summer but at times daytime temperatures can reach 90+ even in late spring and early fall.

Our camp stove came in handy for breakfast. 

Nice covered area that worked out well to hang our hammock.

Finca Céleste, A farm, a view !

Nestled in the hills overlooking Temecula. Our family farm is a labor of love and a constantly evolving project. We grow most of what we eat and specialize in avocados, pink lemons, grapefruits and oranges, blood oranges and passion fruits.

This is our corner of paradise and every morning or evening, sunrise or sunset is always a magical moment with our glorious views of mountain, city, ocean.

Enjoy a night in our tiny home in the middle of our passion vines with a breathtaking view of the mountains and Temecula City.

All of 6 minutes away from Old Town Temecula and its restaurants.

Stay in our Avocado and Passion Fruit Ranch.

Share in the nightlife full of coyote's singing and owls hooting. Wake up to our guinea hens and roosters.

Our pool with a view is yours to enjoy.

Eco Glamping Tent

After relocating from South Africa to Southern California we searched to find the perfect property to enjoy endless mountain, ocean and sunset views and a
property that was fertile enough to be able to grow our own organic food. 
Now that we've found and enjoy our dream property we wanted to share it in a unique and exciting way by incorporating our African background and created this Safari Eco Tent so that passionate eco minded campers can also experience this stunning property.
Unplug, Relax and Unwind in this Luxury African Safari Eco tent complete with solar hot water shower, rain water catchment, state of the art compost toilet, solar electric, full bathroom kitchen & Eco Heater.  Experience a bit of Africa on this 2½ acre organic property surrounded by South African Protea flowers, native sages and fruit trees. Fall asleep in your luxury queen size bed with beautiful linens and awaken to the sounds of nature, enjoy nearby beaches, Temecula wineries, Safari Park & outstanding local Vista micro breweries.

The tent is nicer than most hotels I've stayed at...

It's a great spot to do absolutely nothing...

Luxury Queen bedroom suite with comfortable furnishings and wood burning stove.

Tables/chessboard, kitchen area, front porch, whatever you want to call it... incredibly scenic.

Down-to-Earth Ecoshire

Private 35 acre Private Land Restoration Project surrounded by rolling hills, mountain views and open sky. 

The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular year round.

Stars and open skies that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in southern California.

Just 15 minutes from Temecula wineries, 40 minutes from the alpine, artsy town of Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains, and just 15 minutes from the 215 in Menifee toward Hemet.

Best to visit from early autumn to lush springtime where we have great wildflower blooms.

Cooperative managers Jim and Dawn host visitors who want to enjoy nature, participate in regenerative gardening all while off-setting their travel footprint. Fees go to our not for profit land restoration which includes planting trees, improving aquifers and enriching the soil.

The property is a owned by a restorative co-op (turning a former illegal dump into an oasis of hope) where we invite you to participate in creative local solutions to our larger global problems. * If your group is larger than six adults, pease visit our group listings page. If your group needs special privacy and sound requirements and you'd like to reserve the entirer property, you will need to contact us directly. * Spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis.

* Our visitor support pricing is $20 for the first person and $15 for all additional adults.  Kids 6 - 12 are $5 per night.  We don't want to charge for kids 6 and under, so do not include them in your booking.   Thanks!

* Campfire rings are only in common clearing, designated and permitted areas.  Please check for seasonal fire restrictions.

Another tent site on the other side of the garden. 

There's a good sunrise watching spot on the hill right behind our tent spot. 

Outdoor kitchen headquarters. This area is still in the works of becoming more of a common space for everyone. 

The lovely hosts: Dawn and Jim! They took good care of us while we were there and told us all about their property.

We forgot the proper utensils to make hot dogs, so we made use with some smores sticks I had. It was quite the adventure trying to get them from the fire to the plate. 

I haven't seen a sunrise in a while that felt this - powerful -

Rock & Tree

It's so nice to "meet you" my name is Taryn and my hubby's name is Anson. We are parents to two-year-old twins, so saying we have our hands full is an understatement. Anson is a folk and blues musician and has traveled
all around the U.S. playing his music and I work for a children's book company. One day, we decided that we wanted to live the rest of our lives hosting live music, and events and that's how Rock & Tree began. As the idea grew, we wanted to create an Open Canvas so that the guest could dream up what they wanted on our stage. We moved to the Inland Empire from Santa Monica, in 2017 with the dream of building an open canvas event space out of sustainable, re purposed and natural materials. Our mission is help enrich the culture of Perris, CA by providing a unique venue that takes you away from the hustle and bustle and takes you to a wonderland of nature surrounded by rocks and eucalyptus trees.

Anson and I continue to build everything ourselves with the help of our friends and family every now and again. Our process is that we source as much lumber using the dead Eucalyptus trees we have here on the 36 acre property and we are constantly trying to come up with innovative ways to use recycled and donated materials in the venue. During the pandemic, we turned our venue into a campground so we could open up the venue to people who needed to get out into nature.   We are now open for daily camping and private events. You can follow our journey on our Instagram.
