The best treehouses near Irvine

·

Wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ana Mountains, Irvine is something special. Gaping canyons and wild beaches create an outdoor hub that draws campers from across Orange County. Thanks to the trove of state and regional parks, you have plenty of ways to soak in that California sun.

Want to sleep to the sound of crashing waves? Head to Bolsa Chica State Beach. Enviable surf fishing, ocean-front RV camping, and coastal hiking trails make this a popular spot.

To see the Pacific in its rugged beauty, check out Crystal Cove State Park. Coastal cliff hikes, backpack camping, and scuba diving are right at your fingertips. Just a few miles away, Bommer Canyon is a step back in time. Here, you can explore multi-use trails or stay overnight in an old cattle ranch camp.

More camping options await at O'Neil Regional Park, a 4,500-acre paradise in the Trabuco Canyon wilderness. The park also offers group camping and horse camping. If you're just spending the day, pack some sandwiches to enjoy at the family picnic area.

Are you looking for some large-scale California adventure? Limestone Canyon Regional Park boasts some of the best mountain biking in Irvine. Meanwhile, Caspers Wilderness Park is a favorite for hiking and horseback riding through sandstone canyons.

Beyond the parks, you also find a host of seaside cottages and RV parks. They're great for those who prefer to camp in comfort with picnic tables, WiFi—the works.

Like the rest of sunny Southern California, Irvine boasts fair weather and great temps year round. As a result, most parks and campgrounds are open in all seasons. Just be sure to book early if you're camping in the summer.

43mi from Irvine · 3 sites · Lodging · Temecula, CA
We purchased Namaste Farms in 1997 when I was showing reined cowhorses as well as raising thoroughbred racehorses.  In 2005, I purchased my first wool sheep and fell in love. Today, Namaste Farms is recognized around the globe for raising high quality wool producing sheep.  While sheep are the primary animals at Namaste Farms, there are countless other animals, both four legged and feathered!NOTE: Namaste Farms is a true working farm with copious amounts of sheep, goats, chickens, peafowl, and countless other animals. Along with those, we have free range squirrels, rabbits, flies, dust and yes, even free range spiders. If you're wanting a rustic experience that gives you a break from city life and you can handle dust, dirt, cobwebs (and these can happen over night inside your cottage and WILL be in the common areas), with sounds of animals vocalizing at all hours of the day and night, then Namaste Farms is a perfect fit for you.   Know, you're supporting a 501c3 charity and all the revenue goes to support the animals.This booking is for the Treehouse, and while it's only 1/2 a mile from the city limits, it has a rural feel and is centrally located to all wineries and most of the major equestrian facilities including Galway Downs, Green Acres, and California Ranch Company. For those who are coming to Temecula for horse shows, we also have a large barn with bedded stalls and turnouts (for an additional fee). There are designated horse trails right outside our gates which will even take you to Galway Downs and California Ranch Company. If you're into golf, you can enjoy Temecula's 7 PGA golf courses or Pechanga Casino which are also within a short driving distance to the farm. If horses or golf isn't your thing, you can visit Temecula Valley wineries which are all ~ 1/2-3.8 miles of the cottage gates. The wineries are not within walking distance of each other, UBER is only too happy to come here and pick you up! If you're not interested in any activities and simply want a "staycation," you can hang out here where you're welcomed to walk around the farm and interact with the animals. At night, enjoy the sounds of serenity.
