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. 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.

Had a great first time camping! Jim was very helpful and answered any questions in a timely manner. Wineries near by about 25minutes out. My dog had a blast exploring the campsite.

West Cove

Peaceful, quiet, spacious camping🏕

The campsites are very spacious. I definitely loved West Cove. The owners are so friendly and helpful. They gave us a very hefty amount of firewood that we were able to use for 2 nights. The whole experience was amazing. So quiet and so serene. I will for sure recommend this campground to everyone. Jim and family, you guys are awesome. Thank you.

Hillside bluff

I loved the tent camping here. The canopy provided a good shadow, and more over there was a shelter which was equipped with chairs, electricity, and fans where I could avoid the strong sunlight during the day. The surrounding was good enough to hang around. And this place was also close to markets, and restaurants for a quick visit. There were so many things to discover in the area. Most of all, Jim, the host, is very kind, helpful, and resourceful. Whatever matters I got, there was Jim who was ready to take care of, and it was a definitely a plus. I surely recommend this place to others, and I will come back with my friends in the near future.

North Cove

This was our second stay at the Ecoshire. Jim met us on arrival. There were several sites available so he recommended one he thought would suit our situation better than the one we had reserved.

Jim & Hemet magic

Space was immaculate and fun, while Jim was the best host we could ask for. We ended up setting up shop right under the main tree at the closest camp site to the bathrooms and kitchen. It was a magical experience…we got to share stories with Jim once we arrived, walked around the land and decompressed from life in the city, then spent an incredible, rejuvenating night under the stars.
