Climb 700 feet up a dirt road in only 1.5 miles to a secluded Mountainous camping with a view of the Regenerative Organic Avocado and Citrus grove and views of the city lights at night. The farm has over 700 avocados trees with 9 varieties of avocados and 20 various citrus and nut trees. We have chickens, ducks, and Guinea Fowl and plenty of wildlife including: hawks, Owls, bunnies and more which all contribute to Regenerative Organic and offer viewing pleasure. The local area provides hiking, wildlife mountain biking, lakes and 35 minutes to the nearest wine tasting in Temecula. We are an hour from the beach and roughly an hour and half to Skiing and Snowboarding at Mt. High. The property sits roughly 2000 ft above sea level and 800 ft above the city below. The 21 acre property provides amazing views as well as biking and hiking along the local fire roads and farm roads. Minutes away from Santa Rosa Plateau for hiking. You are also a 20-30 minute drive to explore the amenities of the local cities, wine country and 45 minutes to the beach.. We offer Camping supplies such as tents or chairs if needed for a small rental fee as well as the ability to purchase fresh avocados, citrus or Farm fresh eggs from the grove. See camp host for information as well as the groves website (zephyrmountaingrove.com) for available Eggs and Merchandise as well as Avocados and Citrus to see whats in season. Get away for a short trip for a relaxing destress weekend. If you have a larger party you can message us at 951-477-5114 and we can work with you on another camp location we have for special occasions (summer months of June through September can be hot so bring shade or you can rent an ez up from us, please check the weather in Wildomar Ca before camping).
It's sounds like a truly wonderful place. But the dirt road that starts immediately off Grand Ave is full of potholes the size of craters on Mars. I could not navigate my sedan through and turned around. Afraid of getting a flat or breaking the axle. You need a serious 4 wheel drive offroad vehicle or dune buggy. I'm sad, but it sounds like a wonderful place if you have the right vehicle. Guess I'm back to the local Farmers Markets.
This family run Avocado and Citrus u-pick is a great day out with friends and family! They have a large lot with tons of fruit trees on the property. They also have their free range chickens just roaming around and hanging out with you when your searching for your avocados.
The road to the location does get steep and is a dirt path. They recommend an AWD vehicle, and I would agree. It isn’t required, but I did have my one of my AWD spin free at one point because of the gap the recent rain caused.
Remember to bring your own bag/container for storing your treasures!
I spent around 3 hours at the grove, and there is a decent amount of parking that can probably fit 20-30 cars.
