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.

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.

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.

Wow! What a wonderful campsite! My pup and I had such a peaceful stay. We enjoyed the views at night and loved exploring the farm in the morning. We used my rooftop tent, and the site was nice and flat.

My dog, husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Granite Gulch!! What a unique campground. Views were beautiful. Super private fire pit. Goats were very quiet at night too. Can’t wait to come back and check out the other spaces on Benjamins land as well. Also our air mattress pump died and the host was super quick to respond in providing options for renting bedding if we’d like. Highly recommend for a quick getaway even for a night it’s so worth it!

Absolutely stunning scenery — waking up to the sunrise and layered hills was unforgettable. Directions and mapping were very clear and well thought out, which made arrival stress-free. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even helping us select firewood, which was a really thoughtful touch.
That said, the temperature drops significantly at night and the wind can be strong, so proper preparation is important. One of the highlights was meeting the two large white farm dogs — they were gentle, friendly, and felt like the best natural guides around the property.
Overall, a peaceful and memorable stay. Would love to come back and experience this place in a different season.

Wow! Our family fell in love with this magical spot. It was exactly what we needed. The views, the animals, and the amazing stars are now a forever memory. My daughter made besties with the donkey that followed us for a hike.
Not to mention the owner Benjamin is great. My son threw a rock and broke a sprinkler and Benjamin was a class act in handling the situation. We will definitely be back.

We stayed one night camping at Split Rock Farm and Retreat and had such a lovely experience. I came with my seven-year-old and felt very safe the entire time, which was important to me. Waking up surrounded by goats was such a special moment my kid absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop smiling. The trails were peaceful and easy to enjoy, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and family-friendly. We’ll definitely be back again.

The Oak Grove Communal Campground is located in a bunch of really full trees that provide lots of shade. The ground is flat enough to set up a tent, and the individual fire pits are great! We chose to have 1 Bell tent set up for us when we arrived, and it was so helpful for that part of our group.
There are tons of fun walking trails/boulders to play on, so it was great for families.
The camp dogs are super friendly, and we loved having them join us.
Things I would note if it is someone’s first time here: 1) If you arrive after 7pm, there is no one onsite or via phone that you can reach for assistance. 2) coming in after dark is not advised by me, due to the fact that the roads on site are windy and hilly. There were parts where I needed 4-wheel drive to get around (though not specifically at the oak grove spot).
3) the goats absolutely roam around and will come directly into your campsite. We didn’t mind it, but if you don’t like that idea, it’s something to keep in mind.

We’ve stayed at Split Rock three times now, and each visit has been just as special as the first. Our first stay was at the Hilltop campsite, and our last two visits were at Granite Tabernacle, which has easily become our favorite spot on the property.
Split Rock is hands down our favorite local or semi-local campsite. The moment you arrive, it feels like a world of its own. The landscaping is beautiful, the massive boulders are stunning, and the entire place has a peaceful, almost untouched feel that’s hard to find elsewhere.
We usually visit during the weekdays, which makes it incredibly quiet and serene. Over the years, we’ve run into a herd of goats, a llama, and one of the highlights of every stay, Holly and Molly. They’re Great Pyrenees protector dogs, and they are the sweetest companions. This trip we only saw one of them, but she greeted us as soon as we arrived, hung out with us through part of the evening, and came back in the morning like a gentle check-in. Calm, loving, and quietly watchful, she added so much to the experience.
Granite Tabernacle is truly an absolute gem. Beautifully placed within the landscape and incredibly peaceful, it’s easily our favorite campsite at Split Rock.
We absolutely love this place and will definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, peaceful, and unforgettable camping experience. 🌲✨

Camping near Newport Beach guide
Where to go
Elsewhere in Orange County
Orange County has some of the best beaches in Southern California, from nearby Huntington Beach—a favorite among surfers—swanky Laguna Beach, shopper-favorite San Clemente (which also has beach camping), and the beaches of Catalina Island. This compact county is also home to plenty of fun attractions, including Anaheim’s own Disneyland.
Los Angeles County
The county north of Orange County, Los Angeles has all of the perks of a big city—from fabulous restaurants and nightlife to world-class museums—plus tons for lovers of the great outdoors. Some of the best beaches are in the Malibu area, which also happens to have lots of private and publicly run campgrounds, both by the beach and in the inland hills.
San Bernardino County
If you’re a fan of the desert, you’ll love San Bernardino County, home to the Mojave National Preserve and portions of both Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Parks. The county also encompasses much of the San Bernardino National Forest including Big Bear Lake, a popular forest getaway for Angelinos.
When to go
Newport Beach is a fun place to visit year-round, with mild winters and hot summers, but most people come here between July and August, when the temperatures are at their most ideal for swimming, though it’s usually hot enough to get in the water well into September or even October. If you want to beat the crowds, come in the winter, when the surfing conditions are at their finest. This is also the best time of year for spotting migrating whales.
