Looking for a quick escape from the city for a peaceful place to recharge? AntFarm LA offers a private, quiet retreat in nature where you can disconnect from the buzz of city life with the convenience of the city nearby. Hand-built with love and a couple of shovels by our family and friends, this hike-in, tent-only site is the perfect oasis for locals and visitors alike. As you embark on the short hike up, you will experience breathtaking views, shaded trails, and a sense of calm as you arrive at your campsite. You’ll enjoy stunning sunsets, sunrises, and the tranquil sound of birds chirping—an idyllic backdrop to clear your mind. We’ve thoughtfully added a few comforts so you can enjoy nature without completely leaving modern conveniences behind. Take advantage of amenities like a refrigerator, sink, a bathroom with a flushable toilet, and a shower to refresh after a day of exploring. We also have a few electrical outlets and WiFi if you need to stay connected online or charge your devices. If you want to howl at the moon, we have some more remote hike-in campsites available. Send us a message for details. Out of respect to our neighbors, we do not allow car camping in our parking lot. Car or RV sleeping is permitted on our Van Pad site only, although we do not provide RV hookups. To preserve the quiet, off-the-grid atmosphere we’ve created, we ask that you respect our noise curfew of 10PM. We look forward to having you stay!

Vintage Camper In LBC Garden

15mi from Garden Grove · 1 site · Lodging · Long Beach, CA
This 1968 Shasta Camper, located in a small garden within an urban neighborhood, sleeps up to four people, with additional space to set up tents if desired. It has a few amenities—some more rustic than others—including AC, refrigerator and freezer, stovetop (oven does not work), sinks, shower, internet, and coffee maker. Located just ten minutes from the Port of Long Beach and the Port of San Pedro, it’s a great launch point for cruise-goers. With swimming beaches only twenty minutes away, it’s an ideal option for a low-cost vacation. Help yourself to the freshest fruits, vegetables, and legumes from the garden, and watch the bees, butterflies, and grasshoppers happily pollinate, creating opportunities for new growth. The property is securely locked, and the entrance is video-monitored for your safety (and ours). It’s important to note that the camper (not a glamper) is vintage, and the convenience of the urban neighborhood can sometimes come with a variety of neighborhood sounds—though it can also be extremely quiet at times. Due to the desert climate, ants may accompany the pollinators and enter the camper if food or beverages are left out. The garden is shared with our home, so some privacy may be compromised when we tend to it.

49mi from Garden Grove · 5 sites · RVs · San Bernardino, CA
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.

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.

French below - With its untouched natural beauty, fresh mountain air, and golden sunlight filtering through the trees, it’s easy to see why Paradise Springs became the perfect setting for our very first Huttopia resort on the West Coast. Nestled high in the San Gabriel Mountains, within the heart of the protected Angeles National Forest, Huttopia Paradise Springs offers a true retreat into the wild. For generations, this hidden gem has drawn those seeking to escape the buzz of greater Los Angeles and reconnect with nature. Tucked within a wide canyon, Paradise Springs is a true oasis—surrounded by vibrant desert flora and nourished by a crystal-clear artesian spring that feeds a meandering creek all year round. It’s wild, serene, and effortlessly magical—just as paradise should be. -- Avec sa nature préservée, son air pur de montagne et la lumière dorée filtrant à travers les arbres, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi Paradise Springs a été le choix évident pour notre tout premier site Huttopia sur la côte Ouest. Nichée au cœur des montagnes San Gabriel, dans la forêt nationale protégée d’Angeles, Huttopia Paradise Springs offre une véritable échappée sauvage. Depuis des générations, ce lieu secret attire ceux qui souhaitent fuir l’agitation de la grande région de Los Angeles pour se reconnecter à la nature. Au creux d’un large canyon, Paradise Springs est une oasis authentique, entourée d’une végétation désertique luxuriante et alimentée par une source artésienne qui fait vivre un ruisseau sinueux tout au long de l’année. Sauvage, paisible et naturellement magique — c’est exactement notre idée du paradis.

Tucked within a wide canyon, Paradise Springs is a true oasis—surrounded by vibrant desert flora and nourished by a crystal-clear artesian spring that feeds a meandering creek all year round. It’s wild, serene, and effortlessly magical—just as paradise should be. -- Avec sa nature préservée, son air pur de montagne et la lumière dorée filtrant à travers les arbres, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi Paradise Springs a été le choix évident pour notre tout premier site Huttopia sur la côte Ouest. Nichée au cœur des montagnes San Gabriel, dans la forêt nationale protégée d’Angeles, Huttopia Paradise Springs offre une véritable échappée sauvage. Depuis des générations, ce lieu secret attire ceux qui souhaitent fuir l’agitation de la grande région de Los Angeles pour se reconnecter à la nature. Au creux d’un large canyon, Paradise Springs est une oasis authentique, entourée d’une végétation désertique luxuriante et alimentée par une source artésienne qui fait vivre un ruisseau sinueux tout au long de l’année. Sauvage, paisible et naturellement magique — c’est exactement notre idée du paradis.

This little farm is being brought back to life! Once part of an 160 acre avocado farm now it is a 15 acre little slice of heaven purchased in 2019. Previously the farm had been let go and now our duty is to get it back in shape. We are making steady progress and fall in love with the land more everyday. Currently we are also planting about an acre of lavender which should be a beautiful backdrop come 2024. Time up here gives you a chance to unwind, unplug, and explore some remaining wildlife in southern California. Come and join us!

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

It's a very quiet and peaceful spot. I'm a female that ended up in a situation where I have to car camp. I felt very safe here. I ended up coming quite late and the host still answered the phone to make sure I got where I needed to be. I will definitely be going back.

Great location next to Rim of the World scenic drive to Big Bear Lake. Steep drive to get to camp not too far off the highway. We did fine with our 28ft trailer pulled by a passenger van. Appreciated being able to add on produce/honey from the farm. Would stay again!

Tales from Gloom Hollow just had our second event at Rock and Tree. Absolutely an amazing time. This venue is so pretty and well maintained. Had an incredible night time experience, being able to star gaze late at night when all the activities winded down is a huge bonus for me personally. Our player base is also enjoying this location and love our new home at Rock and Tree!

Such a cool sight with just the right amount of amenities to make for a great casual camping experience. The road up is no joke and you got to be unafraid to get up a dirt road that goes up quickly, but our cars could do it, even when we came in at night. Caleb was great and communicative and we will definitley coming back for the next time do our retreat, the amphitheater so well positioned and the town at night was beautiful to look at. Great sunrises and sunsets too!

We hosted our annual campout festival Raise Your Energy at Rock and Tree, and it was nothing short of magical. The property is full of hidden gems — beautiful trees offering plenty of shade, cozy hammocks for lounging, and endless nooks to explore and relax in. The hosts, Taryn and Anson, were incredibly kind and accommodating every step of the way — from the planning phase all the way through the event itself. Their communication and support made everything feel easy and stress-free. And Taylor, the on-site manager, absolutely rules — super helpful, chill, and on top of everything. This place truly captures the spirit of community and connection. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our festival, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Rock and Tree to anyone looking for a special, welcoming space surrounded by nature and good energy! 🌳✨

So happy to see this beautiful space now on hipcamp! I've had the chance to attend a gathering at Casa Zen, and it's truly a peaceful, open, and welcoming place. Perfect for those seeking a quiet overnight stay under the stars- with outdoor grilling, a refreshing rock shower, and a calming meditation circle. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to return!
