This secret off-grid getaway on 80 acres provides stunning views at private tent sites with hiking, bird-watching, and wildflower-spotting. Relax in the shade of a eucalyptus grove, enjoy the sun shining over the sage scrub, enjoy the dark night, and find the hidden seasonal waterfalls. A short drive to Temecula, Diamond Valley Lake, and Lake Skinner, our private, scenic campsites offer both serenity and nearby activities including wine tasting, restaurants, hot air balloons, and paragliding. We are 100% off-grid with no hookups or potable water sources (yet), no showers (yet) in the middle of a conservation area. A significant portion of our proceeds goes directly to a local non-profit for habitat restoration efforts and other bird study projects. We hope to attract campers that want an off-the-beaten-path type experience without having to go to the mountains.

It's always peaceful and beautiful, and the whole campground is obviously a labor of love. We love Dragon's Reach for the solitude and the view.

Breathtaking view if you camp at JP. The campgrounds below look amazing too. Some trees to offer shade and very clean and safe campground. Will definitely be returning soon!

I had such a peaceful and relaxing stay on Jordan and Rheanna’s land. It was exactly what I needed for a quick escape from the city. The property was quiet, serene, and best of all — I had the entire place to myself. Everything felt safe and well-kept, and the surroundings were just beautiful. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

I’m happy I checked out this spot & would def come back. I chose Jensens Peak for the privacy (woman camping solo) & best view. It is also the driest & least shaded so that’s something to keep in mind. All the sites are amply spaced apart & most have a picnic table which is nice. The hosts were helpful and responsive. Probably goes without saying but—it’s tick & foxtail season!

The site was a perfect, relaxing disconnect for an evening. The sky's were great at night and the view was fantastic. People in other sites but you wouldn't have known.

We really enjoyed camping here and want to try out some of the other site next time. Such a beautiful place and so close to home. Incredible view, lovely sunsets and beautiful sunrises from this campsite for sure!

Another perfect little retreat in the hills. The hike-in Dragon’s Peak spot is just far enough away from the main camping area to feel alone on top of the world. Plenty of birds and little creatures to keep you company.

My boyfriend and I spent Valentines weekend here and we had the BEST time! We are definitely coming back next year — Dragon’s Reach is secluded and the hiking trail to go up was not bad at all. My boyfriend was able to go up with a whole table and chairs at once. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Jensen’s peak was a perfect get away from the city that I needed. Though I had cloudy days, my dogs loved walking the ranch and getting some rain, Jordan and Rheanna were extremely quick to respond to any questions that I had and were extremely helpful through my stay. Jensens peak will absolutely be on my list for the summer days.
