Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
We are a small homestead/farm just outside Temecula Valley Wine Country in California. Primarily we raise our mini dairy goats and host BYO Tent or RV camping. In October of 2016 we began our journey to create our small farm/homestead. With absolutely no experience and coming from a tiny condo in the city we decided to leave that life behind and buy 11 acres in the middle of no where! We weren't sure what to do with 11 acres. We don't come from a farming family but we had the drive to learn. With the help of YouTube, books, blogs, vlogs and friendly neighbors we began to teach ourselves how to run a small farm, inching into the lifestyle a little at a time. We started off with 15 chickens, many failed gardens and then fell in love with Nigerian Dwarf Goats! We found Hipcamp over a year later and in April 2018 opened up our home to strangers wanting to camp on private property. Since we are in the middle of Temecula Wine Country we figure that our farm is the perfect family friendly environment to relax in nature but still be close to some great attractions. Play with baby goats, chickens and rabbits. Explore the property and star gaze at night without light pollution from the city! This was an empty lot that was first purchased in 2014. We are the second owners of the property and want to be as self sustaining as possible. We are on a well and have converted to solar power. We will be building up the camp sites as well, gradually adding more amenities as we go to create a unique experience for our guests. More about me: I had a great and successful career at a very large CPA firm in San Diego but with city living comes pressure and stress. Due to deadlines and even more stress created by the partners of the firm, I ignored what my body was telling me. I put off going to the doctor for months telling myself I didn't have time and, after this next deadline I'll get a check up. I knew that I needed to change my lifestyle but I wasn't doing it fast enough. We closed escrow on the property in October of 2016 and that November I was in the ER. I almost died. Spent my birthday and Thanksgiving in the hospital. Soon after that I quit my job at the CPA firm and started working from home. Still suffering from complications, that summer in June/July I ended up in the ER again. Even closer to death this time. Since then I've turned around my health. Focused on life on the farm. Raising my animals, my garden and creating a unique experience with the campers. I enjoy sharing this life and my home with like-minded people who want to escape the city and feel a little closer to nature.

    Temecula High Desert & Mini Goats!
    Incredible host and campsite!
    We had the best time at Marcella’s farm! She was such a kind and accommodating host. The baby goats were precious, the views were stunning, and we loved site 4. She has a solar shower that was so much fun to use, has cute hammocks and tiki torches set up, fire pits for each site, a hot tub with a clear view of the stars, and a grill and common area. We’ll be coming back for sure!

    Cute Goats and grounds!
    We had a great time! Don't let the rules scare you off, the hosts are very nice welcoming people. Their goats were super cute and friendly. The proximity to wineries and distance from other people is ideal. Their patio spaces were nice and inviting. We will return!

    Temecula High Desert & Mini Goats!
    My 2.5 yr old loved being able to ride his bike around all day and pet goats. It was nice for some RnR.

    My Happy Place - baby goats!
    I love staying on Marcella’s land! The RV spot is full hookup and level. Right out your front door are the goats and chickens. Her amenities are nicely appointed - lots of nice areas to relax, enjoy the views, play games, BBQ, soak in the spa, or just “be.” Her chickens produce the most scrumptious eggs! The goats are well-socialized and friendly. The babies are adorable. I can’t wait to go back!

    Play with goats with a view!
    Wonderful site! Great views of Temecula. Loved the ability to have privacy at my own site and also utilize the shared spaces. The goats were so cute and fun to play with! Marcella was very friendly and welcoming and quick to communicate when we messaged her. Would highly recommend this stay
