Bell tents near Lake Elsinore

Totally coming back! Thanks Lance. First hip camp and I’m hooked!

Fantastic time at the camp. Perfect spot. Great for me and my three kids. Great host. Pretty, peaceful spot. Thank you!

Copaiba site at Thundering Hawk was the perfect private site for bringing pups and enjoying the peace and quiet without a long drive from San Diego! Lance was super, as was the camp manager! We had a blast!

Amazing land, views, available fruits, outdoor kitchen, shower, and farm dog! Will absolutely be coming again. The farm dog, Gertie, took walks around the property every morning with me and my pups. She was very sweet to my five pound chihuahua who is weary of large dogs not her sister who is a 65 pound pittie. Everyone got along and I was so happy Gertie was gentle, kind, and patient with her introductions and mannerisms. If she likes you, she will come find you to say hello. She may have used me for treats but I couldn’t care less. Jacob, the host, was also amazing! We shared time together and had tea. My time here was a great escape when I needed to get away a bit and break up monotony.

Literally had the BEST time! This is my third time booking on hipcamp and I think this was my favorite stay by far. Jacob and his dog Girtie made me feel right at home. He was super accommodating and I felt completely safe even though I was the only guest my first night there. Lots of stories were shared over freshly brewed oolong tea and sliced citrus straight from the garden. The space is truly incredible and I’d highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you for everything Jacob!

This is a really great camping ⛺️. The environment is beautiful, the management is orderly, and most importantly, the staff are very enthusiastic! There are many details that impressed us, such as the bicycles next to the tents, the lights dotted on the tents, etc. We and the kids loved this place and will plan to go back next time.

We had the best time this past weekend. Stayed one night with my two kids and it was a blast. Tent was cozy, clean and private. Girls had a blast picking fruit from the trees surrounding the tent. Cannot stop raving about the bathrooms!!! Best outdoor bathrooms I’ve ever seen. It was nice meeting Jacob and learning about the farm. It is so clear that he and his family love this place. We will absolutely be coming back. 10/10

What a gem this place was! Me and my girlfriend came with our two dogs and it was absolutely perfect. The dogs were able to roam free the entire weekend and even got along with Gertie the farm dog. There was a big space to throw the ball around with them too, so they were pooper by EOD. As for the adults, it was super peaceful. We brought pizza dough from home, so that we could give the wood burning pizza oven a try (highly recommend). Jacob’s kitchen is very stocked, so in reality we would have been fine without any of the culinary-ware. Jacob was very accommodating, responsive, and an overall, very chill guy. We went home with a bag full of oranges, avocado, lemons, guava, and passion fruit. It’s really the best of both the camping and glamping world, and can’t wait to go back!

2 nights at Campo Nopalito

We had such a great time here! The place is very well kept and has great communal areas to hang out. Our little cabin was perfect size to feel like we were camping without the work :) Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a little getaway

We loved our two night stay at Campo Nopalito! The whole experience was excellent. Jacob was super kind and showed us around the space on arrival. The A-frame we stayed in was super charming and we had coffee on the deck each morning! Gerdie the farm dog was a sweetie and we felt so welcome and at peace the whole time. The pizza oven and whole outdoor kitchen were a dream and we had everything we needed to make a perfect dinner and relax by the fire. The attention to detail with all the spaces and amenities was clear and we appreciated it so much. We’re already planning our next trip back!

No words to describe this place! Jacob has turned this place into an unbelievable sanctuary with amazing energy. You can relax in the hammocks, enjoy the views of the green hills, visit some local wineries, make a pizza in his woodfired oven, sit by the campfire at your site, make friends, take an outdoor shower under the stars… I’ve stayed at a lot of Hipcamp ‘s, and this was by far my favorite. It truly is just a special place so do yourself a favor and go!

Escape to nature without being too far from convenience of home! I usually go camping and sleep in tents so this stay was def glamping for me! Flushing toilets, hot showers, all that you need to cook hot dinner, plus a mattress to sleep on! Best of all, my dog was able to roam free and enjoy nature too! Jacob was super nice! Would def recommend!

This was our first time 'glamping' and we had a great time. The host, Jacob, and his dog, Girdy, were fantastic. The amenities were perfect. If you want to have an easier time camping than roughing in, this is the place to go. We'll be back many times!

This was a lovely experience and as a solo camper I felt very comfortable and safe. The amenities were so nice and offer additional convenience. Jacob and Gerdie the farm dog were the nicest hostess. I’m telling everyone I know to book a stay and will be back with my family soon. The directions and signs were helpful too. If you like pizza, bring your homemade pizza ingredients for the pizza oven. Cooked to perfection!

What a magical setting and Jacob and his family couldn’t have been nicer and more inviting. I’ll be staying again in the future. I also recommend adding the avocados. Maybe the best I’ve ever tried.

Beautiful views, quiet environment and comfortable beds! Host always checks on campers.

Had a great stay, site was exactly as pictured. The kitchen and bathrooms were great amenities and had everything we needed. Love that the location was close enough to the freeway/city, but far enough to feel like you were really camping.

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Nopalito Farm! Family owned and operated, Jacob and family are welcoming and accommodating. My pup got to roam around the land freely which she absolutely loved. I stayed in the squirrel cabin and The room was fitted with comfy beds, a comforter plus a heavy wool blanket to keep us warm at night. There aren't outlets in the cabin but outlets in the kitchen area to charge. Bring an extra headlight for the night but they also provide a small lamp. Jacob also recommended the Wilderness Garden Preserve which was about a 20 minute drive and really worth it for a historical trail and hikes. We started our morning before hand with a local coffee bar called Rise and Brew. Would highly recommend! My friend and I mostly stayed on-site enjoying the scenery, painting, resting, and cooking. Jacob greeted us on the second day with a beautiful bouquet of wildflowers grown on the land. The land is abundant, full of energy. I will definitely be coming back

Love love love the cabana. Very friendly host who showed us around. The cabana is so cozy with very good bedding. The toilet is clean and shower has strong water pressure and very warm. Not sure if the dogs we saw were the farm’s or guests’ but they are lovely, animal-friendly is a great decision for this place. The kitchen could use a microwave but besides it had everything.
