Cold Creek is a unique 112-acre property in the San Bernardino National Forest. Because of its location in a 3,200 foot elevation, it's colder than the Southern California deserts and warmer than the cold mountains above us. Our temperatures rarely exceed 90F and rarely drop below 40F. We have plenty sun and about two to three days of snow every winter. A year-around creek keeps everything green and fresh around the year. We are the second owners since 1913, and operate a small organic orchard on the property. We are most famous for our honey, peaches and figs, but also grow apples, pears, persimmon, blackberries, greens, bay leaf, white sage and more.For years , we were WWOOF hosts (look it up ;-) and resisted opening up Cold Creek to traffic associated with daily camping arrivals, but we finally found the perfect spots for visitors to park their RVs, spend a quiet night and visit the orchard by foot.We are now excited by the prospect of focusing on expanding our micro-farming and inviting campers to look over our shoulders.

OUR STORY
Our farm story began in 2018, when on a whim and a prayer we purchased a rundown home and land. After years of acquiring many blisters, animals, plants and weird suntans, we eventually created the home and farm of our dreams. Our emphasis in the beginning of this journey was to create a space in which our children (along with ourselves) learned the value of producing our own food, fiber, meat and eggs. We challenged ourselves to learn sustainable and organic farming practices, and the emphasis soon changed to how can we share this journey and all that we have learned with more than just our children.
So…..here we are, sharing our hard work and ambition with you. For now, this ambition is in the form of HomeMade Jams, Jellies, Teas, Seasonings and Confections that is procured from our own organically grown gardens and trees along with HandMade fiber creations from our small Alpaca herd. I would like to be able to say that we grew everything that goes into our ingredients, but we are not that good at everything yet! So to keep in the spirit of ethical sustainability along with ensuring a high quality and great tasting product, we purchase ingredients from local organic farmers and shelf products that not only have the USDA Organic seal, but are non-GMO, ethically harvested and in some cases certified Kosher.
One day we hope to meet you and share our story with you by introducing you to the fruit trees my father grew from seed and let you feel the soft fiber of our eclectic herd of misfit Alpacas while you watch the glorious Southern California sunset touch the hot desert horizon we call home.
Cheers!

It's so nice to "meet you" my name is Taryn and my hubby's name is Anson. We are parents to two-year-old twins, so saying we have our hands full is an understatement. Anson is a folk and blues musician and has traveled
all around the U.S. playing his music and I work for a children's book company. One day, we decided that we wanted to live the rest of our lives hosting live music, and events 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.
Anson and I continue to build 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. During the pandemic, we turned our venue into a campground so we could open up the venue to people who needed to get out into nature. We are now open for daily camping and private events. You can follow our journey on our Instagram.

Brought our Trail Life troop here for a weekend campout — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The views are stunning, especially at night under the stars. Caleb was an amazing host: responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our stay great. Plenty of room for our group, the amphitheater was perfect for our gatherings, and the boys had an unforgettable time. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

I will definitely be coming back for more peaceful, relaxing camping.

Zen ranch was pretty dreamy. Nice night sky’s, quiet, peaceful, and the land is lovey. I stayed in my van so it was a nice middle ground between camping and glamping. The outdoor shower was super fun (I love outdoor showers in general). Also Mary is super sweet! A gracious host that has created a cozy vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

About the Host: Mary is a very conscientious host. She cares about her Hipcamper's experience. She checked in once a day but then gave you your space.
About the property: Pictures do not do it justice. This is a self-contained property (fully fenced area that feels separate from the rest of her property) that has everything you need for a great camp trip. Here is a list of things this property offers.
1. There is an outdoor shower with hot water.
2. Multiple electrical outlets.
3. A nice 3-section bathroom area with a composting toilet, a sink with running water, and a private changing area.
3. A large open patio with a sail shade overhead. The patio has a fire place, chairs, and a covered countertop bar with a working fridge and other appliances available for use.
4. Two cleared areas (lanes) for a couple of cars, or a trailer, or multiple tents.
5. Finally she has an open area just outside the fence that accommodates larger RV's (i.e. 5th wheel trailer). It's not ready just yet, but is in phase 2 of her plans for this Hipcamp.
All in all, I had a great experience at Mary's property. If you have a small group and would like to have a weekend getaway with all the essentials at your fingertips, this is the spot. And the best thing is the price. For everything you get, it is a totally reasonable price. I can't say enough good things about this Hipcamp. I know this sounds like a commercial for this place, but it really is a great spot for the price. See for yourself.

The Zen camp was a comfortable and spacious place to stay. The covered kitchen station with sink and mini fridge included counter space for food prep and stools for dining, with an electric outlet. We appreciated these conveniences and extras like the outdoor hot shower and fresh herbs available to use from Mary's garden. The space was well lit throughout and furnished with plenty of chairs, tables and a hammock. A canopy provided much-needed shade. Mary was a great host and was always available to answer questions or resolve any issues that came up.
