We ended up staying at the Elderberry campsite and it was an absolutely beautiful spot nestled among the big boulders of rural Riverside County. The campground is well maintained with a great bathhouse and the hosts are super friendly and helpful. It was also great to see the olive orchards and other agricultural areas. There is a small playground for kids too which was really nice. We were there in November and it was chilly at night and very pleasant during the day. Very few bugs too, and the cute farm kitties were a nice surprise!

First time visiting and we are in love! Macala Villa is not your ordinary campground where your tent neighbors are a few feet away from you. If you crave serenity, this is the place to camp. Our host Rich and David made us feel like family. They made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend the tour. A lot of thought was put into building up Macala Villa. Every tree planted, every structure built and every path carved was carefully planned (from the heart) to ensure guests will have an enjoyable stay. And the new bathroom/shower built near Campsite 1 is now open and you no longer have to walk up the hill. Our kids are 2.5 and 5 and it was their first time camping. They had a very memorable experience and they are already asking to go back. The online store offered many great olive oils, jams, teas and they were so delicious! We purchased more to bring home. We were also gifted some wine. It was one of the best wine we ever tasted, and it didn’t give me an allergic reaction like some wines do. There are so many exciting developments in Macala Villa and we can’t wait to go back and see how it evolves.

We had the fortune of having the whole camp ground to ourselves. Very spacious & well equipped. Bathroom & showers are clean and well organized. The location sits among pomegranate & olive orchards with fascinating rock formations. The olive oil & pomegranate juice produce are available for purchase.

Our family (and also another family) has a great weekend camping at Villa Macala! Specifically at the Elderberry Park camp site. The camp site was perfect for 2 families, with own faucet and even a drinking fountain from their own spring well. The bathroom was more than you can ask for; clean, flush toilet, and even a hot shower. However, the walk to the bathroom was a bit of a hike… not too convenient if nature calls late at night. But other than that, it was a fantastic site and looking forward to going back! Nina was a great host pre-arrival; and David was a perfect host post-arrival. I would definitely recommend the site for anyone looking to go camping!
