We are located in the San Jacinto Mountain Range at just about 5,200 feet in elevation above Palm Springs, California. Situated in an alpine forest and surrounded by Sate and Federal Parks, we truly are in a magical environment that will transport you away from the noise and busyness of the flatlands. Our Faires and Festivals are designed to be small, intimate and enjoyable. Most of our events are held at Camp Emerson which is the oldest, continually operated Camp on the west coast. We can offer bunk houses and camping sites as well as lodging in the town of Idyllwild.
