Best in California: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
All sites have sadly been paused pending county regulators. Private 35 acre Private Land Restoration Project surrounded by rolling hills, mountain views and open sky. Unlike most campgrounds, our sites are spread far apart to give all visitors a private experience in Nature. The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular year round. Stars and open skies that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in southern California. Just 15 minutes from Temecula wineries, 40 minutes from the alpine, artsy town of Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains, and just 15 minutes from the 215 in Menifee toward Hemet. Best to visit from early autumn to lush springtime where we have great wildflower blooms. Cooperative managers Jim and Dawn host visitors who want to enjoy nature, participate in regenerative gardening all while off-setting their travel footprint. Fees go to our not for profit land restoration which includes planting trees, improving aquifers and enriching the soil. The property is a owned by a restorative co-op (turning a former illegal dump into an oasis of hope) where we invite you to participate in creative local solutions to our larger global problems. * If your group is larger than six adults, pease visit our group listings page. If your group needs special privacy and sound requirements and you'd like to reserve the entirer property, you will need to contact us directly. * Spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. * Our visitor support pricing is $20 for the first person and $15 for all additional adults. Kids 6 - 12 are $10 per night. We don't want to charge for kids 6 and under, so do not include them in your booking. Thanks! * Campfire rings are only in common clearing, designated and permitted areas. Please check for seasonal fire restrictions.

      West Cove
      Down to Earth Ecoshire was an awesome experience. We stayed at West Cove, which was private, comfy, and had amazing desert mountain views right outside our tent. The short loop walk was beautiful, and the friendly animals wandering around made it even better. It was my girlfriend’s first time camping, and she loved it. We got to cook dinner over the fire pit grill, which made the night extra fun. Big thanks to Jim for hosting us—we’d definitely come back and totally recommend it to others.

      I loved camping here. Was in need of a reset. California got so bad with the wildfires i wasn't sure I would be able to enjoy a campfire for awhile. Luckily, Jim's place allowed them, plus more. We had a campfire, archery, axe throwing, spent time with farm animals, & even got in some reading time. They have all kinds of instruments and activities. There are some wild dogs on nearby land as well that paid us a friendly visit. I loved this place. It was very relaxing. Will bring a bigger group next time to enjoy all the fun.

      Hillside bluff
      We tent camped at Hillside Bluff and absolutely loved it. The campsite was perfect for me, my husband, and our dog. It was so peaceful being able to prep food and relax while watching the sheep graze freely. We saw and heard plenty of wildlife, which added to the charm. The weather was perfect, and the breeze made it ideal for flying a kite. The internet connection was strong, which makes this a great spot to return to and work remotely. Thank you for having us!

      Jim was very thorough and made me feel very welcome on his property. He was throwing a party that day and even invited me over to celebrate with them. Lots of sites to choose from based on your preferences. Highly recommend!

      Great spot with plenty of space for the kids to run around and explore. Jim moved us to a campsite with a tree that provided plenty of shade and some spots to hang hammocks.

      Wonderful stay with the kids. Arrived midday and called Jim (as instructed on the website). There was only one other camper so he gave us a choice of the remaining sites. I had my two young kids so he recommended one of the sites next to a big open area for them to play and roam. We had a great time meeting all the animals and exploring the camp. This place is truly loved and cared for by Jim and it really shows!!!! Very family friendly and I felt super safe the entire stay. We will be back with husband and son next time.
