It is 20-30 minutes to Pachea Trail and Simpson Park where you can enjoy more great hiking and mountain bike trails. It is also a 30-minute drive to Temecula Wine Country. We have 2 full outdoor bathrooms, one was most recently added at our Elderberry Camp Site (site 1), and is also close to site 4 our Oaks Campsite as well. (Please note our 2nd bathroom is a good walk uphill from the campsites). Our larger bathroom campers can use with a shower and small fridge to store your food. We also have a playground with swing set for kids to enjoy. PLEASE NOTE: Bookings must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

Our products are available for purchase, with or without a tasting. We recommend you bring cash if you are interested. We also take Venmo! GETTING TO VILLA MACALA: The road up to Villa Macala is a dirt road uphill, all vehicles fair well, we attempt to keep the road maintained as well as possible, after heavy rains it is a bit more bumpy but safe.

I cannot say enough good things about this camping experience! If you want to find a beautiful place to enjoy nature while having the most amazing hosts ever, then camp here! Enjoy LOTS of space to relax and hike around this amazing property. Definitely tour the orchard! Buy their amazing products, and hear the story of this family’s organic farm. This site was perfect for our family and friends with children from age 6 to 18 years old. It was immaculate. The bathroom made this mama so thankful after having some grubby happy campers that I could clean up before tucking in. The well water was s…
I loved staying at campsite 1 here with friends! It’s a great spot for a group camping trip. There’s plenty of space for cooking, lounging and exploring. The ranch is a working ranch and we were able to stop by the market they were hosting on the property. The property is so big, we were still able to have a private campground to ourselves. The night time is so peaceful with the sounds of animals (mostly lizards, owls, and rabbits) and this is the perfect spot for star gazing. David, the ranch manager, was so accommodating to our group and we communicated seamlessly throughout our stay. Overal…
Had a great time camping. It was a great secluded spot where you can enjoy the outdoors. The hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful. We definitely have plans to enjoy this campground again
We spent 6 nights camping at the Bee Box at Villa Macala. It was incredible! The property was vast and everywhere you looked there was something else to see. Obviously a lot of heart and soul went into the creation of this beautiful place. Our site had a nice view with a sturdy picnic table, benches and a fireplace. There was a pergola with a solid cover which made even the hottest days very bearable. The hospitality was off the charts too! It was extremely hot the first 2 days we were there and ranch manager David brought us bags of ice on 2 separate occasions - unsolicited! We didn’t use t…
We had such an amazing trip at Macala! My girlfriend and I came here for two nights to celebrate our birthdays and get away from the city life and it was just so lovely. The host/employees that we interacted with (David, Bobby, Amy, and the cute dog Leo) were all so welcoming and kind. We could really tell how much thought and love was put into the development and planning of the farm and the campsites. The campsite we stayed at (Oak Trees, site 4) was sooo cozy and cute. It felt secluded from the rest of the property and we felt like we owned the place! We ordered everything they had on their…
