Welcome to Nopalito Farm! We’re so happy you’ve decided to spend some time on this beautiful property! In case you’re interested, here are a few interesting things about our farm. Nopalito Farm has been in operation since late 2014, but the property itself has been a working farm for over 50 years. Lemons and avocados were the primary crops from the 70’s through the 00’s, and are still prominent throughout our 15 acres. Our predecessors then diversified the growing operation by planting a wide range of fruit trees ranging from guavas and passion fruit to peaches and figs. For a decade, hops were grown on 2 acres and were sold to breweries throughout southern California. We’ve since replaced the hop yard with perennial flowers, but continue to cultivate a wide variety of delicious fruits.

Nopalito Farm offers a peaceful and accommodating camping experience with a welcoming host and a delightful farm dog named Gertie. The setting is serene and feels like a perfect escape from city life, complete with a well-equipped kitchen and clean amenities. While the property is not completely secluded, the communal vibe encourages interaction among campers. Some guests noted minor noise from nearby roads, but overall, the farm's charm and comfort create a memorable stay.

Eureka Casita

What a fun little place! The casita was a great size for 2 adults and 2 dogs. It smelled amazing in April with all the citrus blooms. The stocked outdoor kitchen and bathroom with running water was great too. Fun, peaceful getaway.

Roadrunner Cabana

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!

Hilltop Tent

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!

Squirrel Cabana

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!

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!
