Walid was incredible from the start. He sent videos of the full space, and gave us great directions on how to get there. The campsite is unbelievable. An incredible piece of land to enjoy nature and the chill weather with friends and fam.
Thank you so much! We plan to be back soon!

Our group stayed in both the Canvas Tent and the Creekside Container Cabin, and the combination of these two rentals made for a truly unique and unforgettable getaway. The Canvas Tent was the perfect place to immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature. The full-size futon and bunk bed provided plenty of space, and while we brought our own bedding as directed, it felt cozy and well-equipped. The setting was serene and private, and we loved stargazing around the property each night. The composting toilet was easy to access, and the addition of the sink was a thoughtful touch for convenience.
With the Creekside Container Cabin just a short walk away, we had the luxury of alternating between the rugged charm of the Canvas Tent and the cozy comfort of the cabin. This setup is ideal if you’re traveling with a group or family and want a mix of traditional camping and "glamping." The property is also close to downtown Idyllwild, hiking trails, and other outdoor attractions, so there’s always something to do. We can’t say enough great things about the property owners – their attention to detail, friendly communication, and genuine hospitality really made our trip special. Whether you’re booking just the Canvas Tent or both spots like we did, you won’t regret it!

The location was a great little getaway and close enough to the town center to do some shopping/exploring & hiking.
The tent was gorgeous, clean, well equipped shelter, good views & the compost toilet was clean as well.
The nights get cold, and I brought plenty of bedding to stay warm.
I will definitely be coming back, maybe with a group of friends the next time.

We had a great time! The canvas tent is very spacious and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable which was a huge plus so we didn't have to use our sleeping pads. The sink and toilet were also very convenient. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed staying at the BYO tent site and exploring Idyllwild for the weekend!
A few notes from our stay:
-The site is a 5-minute drive to downtown! It does sit near a road, so there is slight car noise, but you can’t see the road or cars from the site, so it feels very private.
-The hosts were very communicative. They met us upon arrival and let us know when they would be stopping by the property.
-The site is large and easily accommodated our two-person tent, truck, dog, and hammock. It could accommodate a lot larger, too! There’s a small drop-down that could fit a small second tent too. The sun shines on the site from around 10 am-3 pm this time of year.
-You’ll definitely need 4WD; the grade is steep to get to the site. The compost toilet is at the top of the hill, so you’ll need to be able-bodied to get to the top as well.
-The water spigot worked great, and there was a bear box at the site to store food.

Simple, clean tent on a large woodsy property just outside of the main area of town.

Amazing property. Love the privacy and open space to roam. Great views at the ridge. More than enough room for our party of 20+. Host was super responsive and helped in any way he can. I would definitely recommend this site.

Loved this site! The magic of it was how private and secluded it felt. The amenities such as tent rentals and table rentals definitely made our lives easier since we didn’t have to haul as many items into the site ourselves. Walid was also very communicative and accommodating.

Great little spot. Super close to town. Definitely need legit 4x4. It was pretty steep and a little rutted heading out. Kinda steep on foot. No prob with a 4x4.
Didn’t love that I could hear the highway from the camp but other than that it was great.

This was a great little getaway for me and my dog! I loved that we could explore the property off leash. It’s a lovely spot, quiet and peaceful among the trees, yet super close to town and hiking trails. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with, too. Hopefully we’ll be back sometime!

Almost perfect. This is an amazing site -- big enough for 100 people! We only had 9 and used a tiny part of the site. There is no running water (we knew that). The drive only took about 2.5 hours from the south bay. There is nice shade and the canyon feels secluded and remote. The only downside is that you can hear the traffic on the highway. Not loud, but breaks the illusion of being in the wild. We camped next to the picnic tables and the RV. Perhaps if we kept driving deeper into the canyon the would be no noise. The porta potty was nice and clean. There were two hammocks setup. The host was very helpful and responsive. He recommended an excellent hike with just a 5 min drive.

Gorgeous property. So secluded. Perfect for a group camping trip. Great hiking trial in the back of the property if you look to the right up the hill when you get to the end of the path. We had dogs up there and they got to roam free - such a blast. Host was very responsive and directions were clear. RV and tent are awesome.
