Farm stays near Huntington Beach, California 2026

A short drive south of Los Angeles in Orange County, Huntington Beach has long been a favorite among surfers—owing largely to its year-round swells—earning it the nickname “Surf City.” While the 9.5-mile-long beach here is the city's biggest draw, there are also plenty of things to do inland, from visiting the International Surfing Museum to shopping for beachwear and souvenirs in local shops. While you can't camp at the beach here, you'll find plenty of campgrounds in Crystal Cove State Park, less than a half-hour drive south of town.

About Splitrock Farm and Retreat Far Away, Close to Home Instagram page @splitrockfarmandretreat. Tag your photos #splitrockfarmandretreat #SplitrockFAR #farawayclosetohome Or, contact the Camp Host through Hipcamp direct message or the direct line 760-645-5431. Splitrock Farm and Retreat started in January 2021 after a global search of a place to set roots, live off the land, and create an amazing place for recreation, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Splitrock was part of a 160-acre avocado farm that prospered from 1970 to 2017, generating over 1million pounds of avocados per year until the previous owners switched off the water in 2017. Ben purchased 101 acres in 2021 with plans to harvest the dead avocado trees for firewood and replant with organic, sustainable crops such as grapes, citrus trees, and flowers. Splitrock's attraction comes from its unique groves, magnificent granite boulders, and sweeping vistas. Mixed within the avocado groves are several ancient groves and solitary trees that include 150+ foot tall pines, hundreds of old oaks, and soaring palms. Freckled throughout the hillsides are thousands of humongous granite boulders, offering a prehistoric feel to the landscape. Above all, Splitrock offers unrivaled views. Over 40 miles of coastline includes views to Point Loma, the Carlsbad power station, and the Pendleton Hospital. To the northeast are views of near 11K foot snowy peaks of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, with rolling hills of De Luz and Fallbrook in the foreground.

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.

Had a great stay at this campsite! The surroundings were beautiful, the site was well maintained, and it was peaceful and relaxing. Everything was clean and easy to access, and the atmosphere made it a perfect place to unwind. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice outdoor getaway.

Weekend Trip to Splitrock Farm and Retreat

This place is so great. I want gatekeep but also tell everyone about it. This campsite in particular was very secluded, but still within walking distance of toilet. Granite Tabernacle had two campfires and the space it was in was so big there was so much room for activities. The animals walking around were so cute and the views were beautiful. The bathroom/showers were much cleaner than expected. The shower didn’t get warm but I got used to it eventually. The road leading up to each of the campsites did feel a little scary driving up, but I’m sure most cars can get there. Interacted with just a few people that worked there, but everyone was nice. The loop around the grounds was about 30 minutes walking and was nice to scope out potential next stays, which I definitely will be doing next year!

Magical! Great response from host when I had questions before & after booking about what to bring. The VW bus was nice and warm at the end of November. Absolutely adored the goats: super sweet. I loved seeing ALL the animals there. There was not one thing I didn’t love about this campsite: private, lovely views, bathroom within close walking distance, literally all the things. 5/5 stars, 100% would do again.

Super well appointed, well maintained campsite! Wayfinding was easy, you have phone service the whole time and posted signs are very easy to follow.

2 nights at Splitrock Farm and Retreat

Loved this campground! Was even nicer and prettier in person (maybe because we went after a lot of rain too). The host is super responsive and you might see him leading a group of goats and an alpaca on a hike in the mornings. Our kids loved that. This is like real camping though, so be prepared for all that comes with nature. We still have cell reception out there but there is no electricity. Bathrooms and showers are limited and are a bit of a walk and may be scary at night time with the coyotes howling. There are definitely other sites closer to the bathrooms and showers but we loved the remoteness and views at tabernacle. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Where to go

Coastal Southern California

While you're in the area, spend a little time exploring other stretches of the oftentimes sunny Southern California coastline. While you can't camp at Huntington Beach, there are plenty of beaches where you can within a short drive away, including San Elijo State Beach and South Carlsbad State Beach, both of which take just over an hour to reach by car.

California's Central Coast

North of Los Angeles County is the beginning of California's Central Coast region, a quieter (and not always as warm) alternative to busy Southern California. Here you’ll find a mix of quiet coves and sandy beaches, plus miles of forest-flanked coastline. Beachfront camping is available at El Capitán State Beach, just outside of Santa Barbara.

The Mojave Desert

Head inland and you'll eventually find yourself in the Mojave Desert. This dry expanse is home to some of Southern California’s prettiest natural features along with two national parks: Death Valley and Joshua Tree.

When to go

Huntington Beach is great throughout the year. The warmest time to visit is, naturally, in the summer months, but this time of year also gets lots of crowds, and area campgrounds and hotels fill up fast. September is a good time to visit if you want swimming-weather without the masses. While you can surf year-round, you'll find the best waves in the wintertime, when powerful western and northwestern swells are the norm.
