Villa Macala

Book your Spring camping trip now, our most beautiful season! Villa Macala is a 20-acre oasis of detailed landscape, orchards and Southern CA native planting while complimenting the natural rocks and gorgeous views.  This master planned 20 acres is a great escape from city life.  Come take in the views, enjoy the many hiking trails and rest in the peace, quiet and beauty of Villa Macala.  *NOTE:  Scroll down to RV/Tent sites to book for a larger tent camping party over 4 people or for a camper van under 14 feet.

Overlooking the Hemet Valley with gorgeous panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains, Villa Macala is reminiscent of an Italian Villa. The property landscape includes Olive Orchards throughout, a growing vineyard, fig trees, pomegranate trees and more set in the natural rock landscape. (NOTE: We have tent camp sites only and can accommodate camper vans and truck campers depending on size and which site selected, however we CANNOT accommodate pull behind trailers, pull behind campers or RVs of any kind).

Villa Macala is 15 minutes from Diamond Valley Lake where you can enjoy a wildflower trail, fishing or mountain bike trails, museum and water park. It is 20-30 minutes to Pachea Trail and Simpson Park where you can enjoy more great hiking and mountain bike trails.  It is also a 30-minute drive to Temecula Wine Country. 

Enjoy walking the grounds of the 20 acres and taking in the views. 

We have an outdoor bathroom (please note it is a good walk uphill from the campsites) that campers can use with a shower and small fridge to store your food.  We also have a playground with swing set for kids to enjoy. Please bring your own tents.

Your own fire wood, cooking wood, starter material, lighters, utensils, etc. We offer firewood bundles for $7 you can choose to purchase at time of booking or bring cash.

The Unhitched Ranch

The Unhitched Ranch is a family run Clydesdale and Texas Longhorn Ranch. Clydesdales and Texas Longhorns have been the focus of the family owned and operated ranch. The Ranch is approximately 40 acres and is tucked away in a very unique area of Southern California and has spectacular views of the local mountains and city lights. This quaint little canyon is nestled between Loma Linda and Moreno Valley, and is home to about 800 free roaming wild burros that visit frequently.Recently we have added a Gazebo that you can camp near or under as well a a horseshoe pit, and tether ball.  We typically only open the ranch to one group of campers at a time so more than likely you will be alone with us on the ranch.  There is plenty of room for larger groups, feel free to contact us

One of the most incredible experiences ever getting to see these beauties at work.

Just starting our newest edition to the Ranch

Gentle giants. We couldn't get enough of them. 

Our hosts were nice enough to let us saddle up and enjoy the stunning ranch views from the back of a horse

You might get pressured by the cutest face ever to share.
