Heart Land

Campo, California,

United States

(15 miles NW of Campo)

Heart Land is a non-profit mutual benefit corporation which owns a 120 acre private inholding in the Cleveland National Forest of Southern California.

We have 13 members. 6 have developed trailer camps in the live oak woods. Water comes from an artesian spring. A solar water pumping system supplies the camps. We are looking for some new members to grow the community and grow more food, too.
