Panoramic Desert Views
15 sites · RVs, Tents11 acres · CAMorongo Valley is nestled between Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs.
Situated about 2,000 feet higher than the valley floor, it's typically 10-15 degrees cooler here, so we can enjoy the beauty of the high desert plants, wildlife, and views without the oppressive heat.
Only 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and only 10 from the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, this property offers a vast assortment of native desert plants, wildlife and GIANT boulders sprawling over 10 well-kept acres. With an amazing view of all of Mount San Jacinto's glory, your own private chunk of land and unbelievable star lit nights, our campsite will not disappoint.
The property is a great jumping off point for any of the many things to do in surrounding area.
Bring your bikes, boots, binoculars and books to reconnect with nature, your friends and with us (if you so choose).
Let us know what you're into and we'll try to give you some inspiration on where to go and what to do.
Super laid back atmosphere with a central communal area if you're feeling social, and plenty of space to keep to yourself too.
We've got a shaded pool table, cornhole boards, a stereo, a cooler and more. Need something? Let us know. Want something? We might have that too.
As for us, we've been living in the desert for 30+ years and purchased this property just over a decade ago. We've done countless upgrades over the years and adding campsites to share with you is our latest venture.
Let us know how we can make it even better!
All that we ask is that you respect the environment, our few neighbors and your fellow campers.
*Note: There is about 1/4 mile of dirt road that is 100% passable. Just be aware that it is considerably easier to navigate larger vehicles with a little daylight. Plan accordingly.

The native plants, flowers, wildlife and kangaroo mice at night add to the charm, and there are no mosquitos. The fallen branches of the creosote bushes make perfect kindling for your firepit. Be sure to look under your vehicle so you don't drive over any chuckwallas enjoying the shade.
IMPORTANT: Follow my directions pin which I send the morning of your arrival, or you'll end up lost and stuck in a sandtrap on the other side of the mountain.
Again, bring lights and drinking water and warmth for chilly desert nights.
All sites are clean, well-maintained, have incredible views and star gazing and a feeling of serenity as you enjoy the beauty of nature.

Rock & Tree
27 sites · RVs, Tents36 acres · Perris, CAIt's so nice to "meet you" Rock & Tree was created by a young and newly married couple, Taryn and and Anson. Anson Krekeler is a folk and blues musician and has traveled all around the U.S. playing his music and I was an aspiring Voice-Over actress. One day, we decided that we wanted to live the rest of our lives hosting live music, and plays and that's how Rock & Tree began. As the idea grew, we wanted to create an Open Canvas so that the guest could dream up what they wanted on our stage. We moved to the Inland Empire from Santa Monica, in 2017 with the dream of building an open canvas event space out of sustainable, re purposed and natural materials. Our mission is help enrich the culture of Perris, CA by providing a unique venue that takes you away from the hustle and bustle and takes you to a wonderland of nature surrounded by rocks and eucalyptus trees.A true passion project, Anson and I are building everything ourselves with the help of our friends and family every now and again. Our process is that we source as much lumber using the dead Eucalyptus trees we have here on the 36 acre property and we are constantly trying to come up with innovative ways to use recycled and donated materials in the venue. We now live on the property in a 24ft camper and we feel so lucky that our dream is slowly becoming a reality. You can follow our journey on our Instagram.

Zephyr Mountain Avocado Grove
3 sites · RVs, Tents22 acres · Wildomar, CAThe area was once going to be developed into farm properties, but only two stick built residents were developed. We purchased this property 3 years ago with a dream of developing a Regenerative Organic farm. We have 700 Avocados and a dozen citrus trees that include, Limes, Grapefruits, Oranges, Satsumas, Lemons, macadamia nuts, Tangerines, pomegranates
and Kumquats. We are growing 9 different varieties of Avocados; Hass, Reed, Gem, Bacon, Lamb Hass, Fuertas, Pinkertons, Mexicolas and Zutanos. We are a blended family of 6 with 4 girls you may see hiking around the property. We have two dogs, one being an Aussie doodle that is living her best life as a farm dog and loves working on the farm, hunting gopher and squirrel. We have incorporated chickens, guinea fowl, ducks, geese and pot belly pigs. We hope to fill our 21 acre property with citrus and avocado trees as well as farm animals that support the Regenerative Organic goal. The farm is home to many wildlife on occasion including Coyotes, various Hawks and eagles, bobcats, jackrabbits and squirrels. All these animals play the role for the Regenerative farming.

About two hours east of Los Angeles and three hours northeast of San Diego, Big Bear Lake is a popular weekend destination for Southern California city dwellers. Spring, summer, and fall offer plenty of outdoor opportunities, including hiking in San Bernardino National Forest, boating, fishing, and kayaking on the lake, and admiring the changing autumn leaves. A few RV parks sit right on and very near the lake, while several more dot the surrounding areas north and south of the lake. In the winter, the area becomes a skiing destination—many RV parks stay open year-round but temperatures do fall below freezing. Big Bear Lake and the San Bernardino Mountains are located between LA and the desert, making it a great place to stop on a California road trip from the coast to Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park, or the Mojave Desert.
