Best in California: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

Private 35 acre Private Land Restoration Project surrounded by rolling hills, mountain views and open sky. 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 $5 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.

Cottonwood: Drive up/Large Groups

We. Are. Magic.

wow wow WOW! This spot was AMAZING. What a freeing place to be. I had booked Group Site #2 and it was literally the whole back half of the grounds! We got to see so many crazy looking crawly creatures, too (first time seeing a centipede in real life!) Don't let the outhouse / compost toilet push you away. It was very easy to use, but remember to close the toilet seat when you finish! The little events for kiddos was such a highlight. My parent guests LOVED it and were touched by the passion and charisma Jim shared with them. OH! Don't forget, I'm sure you'll speak with Jim. Make sure to ask about his famous French Toast! If he has time, he'll make you a batch for breakfast. 15000000000/10 DEFINIETLY WILL RECCOMEND and we will be back!

Grotto: Group site

Pleasant Campground with plenty of amenities for kids and families. Especially enjoy the monkey bars for my 4 year old son and the crafts in the small barn. Night time was very peaceful and quiet and the addition of chickens and sheep or a pleasant surprise for my family. Showers were unremarkable but sufficient for the campground. Overall we really enjoyed the trip and would gladly stay again during off season.

South Knoll

This place is magical! We had such a nice time exploring the property and also unwinding at our campsite. Jim and his wife were so friendly and we really felt welcome. It was really nice to hear about the origins of the property and their plans for the future! Thank you!

Drive-up Camp Sites at the EcoShire

Nice place to visit! The space has a lot of distance from other campers.

Hillside bluff

Awesome stay - sun or rain!

Kudos to Jim (and Dawn) for being so cheerful, helpful, and accommodating, and for providing such an amazing Hipcamp! I stayed for seven nights while working for the Redlands Bike Classic and enjoyed returning every night - from a hectic day to the peaceful and calming Ecoshire. I will definitely return next year.

Thanks Jim and staff for a great experience.
