Best in California: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

Private 35 acre Private Land Restoration Project surrounded by rolling hills, mountain views and open sky. Unlike most campgrounds, our sites are spread far apart to give all visitors a private experience in Nature. 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 $10 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.

Wonderful stay with the kids. Arrived midday and called Jim (as instructed on the website). There was only one other camper so he gave us a choice of the remaining sites. I had my two young kids so he recommended one of the sites next to a big open area for them to play and roam. We had a great time meeting all the animals and exploring the camp. This place is truly loved and cared for by Jim and it really shows!!!! Very family friendly and I felt super safe the entire stay. We will be back with husband and son next time.

I only stayed a couple nights during the week, what a peaceful delight! Next time I'll bring a friend or two and stay longer.

Loved this place! The hosts were nice and welcoming when we checked in and the area was a great spot for first time/beginner campers. I would definitely come back here again!

Perfect weekend getaway!

The perfect staycation and weekend for a much needed getaway. I needed this weekend to be alone, so didn’t walk over to meet Jim and most of the crew, but they were so nice when I first came in. The campsite was well maintained with well thought out locations for vault toilets and spigots. My pup and I stayed here for one night and we loved exploring the trails and seeing the farm animals.
