🏕️Offbeat & Outdoorsy Vibes at The CAMP: Costa Mesa’s Eco-Chic Playground

If you’re cruising through Orange County and looking for a spot that’s equal parts chill, creative, and totally photo-worthy, you have to hit up The CAMP in Costa Mesa. This isn’t your average shopping plaza—it’s an urban eco-retreat where art, food, fashion, and community all collide in the coolest way possible. The CAMP is for people who love small-batch coffee, sustainable brands, indie restaurants, and soaking up the California sun without the SoCal pretension. It’s where surfers, digital nomads, style junkies, and foodies find common ground. And yes, your Instagram will thank you later

🪴 Why The CAMP is an Orange County Must-Visit

• 🍽️ Next-Level Dining – grab a plant-powered meal at Native Foods, level up your burger cravings at Umami Burger, or sip on something special from Vitaly’s espresso bar

• 🎨 Aesthetic Overload – murals, upcycled art installations, and architecture that just screams “yes, I care about the planet AND style”

• 🧘‍♀️ Wellness-Friendly AF – from eco-conscious shops to yoga spaces and juice bars, your inner zen will be doing backflips

• 🛍️ Sustainable Shopping Goals – shop small and green with spots like SEED Peoples Market and other local vendors that care about the earth

• 📷 Insta Goals, Everywhere – from the signature “Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens” wall to the peaceful open-air garden nooks, this place was made to be posted

  
  

🌿 Location Perks: You’re Right in the OC Sweet Spot The CAMP is nestled right on Bristol Street, which is basically Costa Mesa’s heartbeat. You’re across the street from The LAB Anti-Mall (yep, also worth a stop), 10 minutes from the sandy shores of Newport Beach, and just down the road from South Coast Plaza if you wanna swap your granola for Gucci. Whether you're hitting the beach afterward or exploring more of Costa Mesa’s indie culture scene, The CAMP makes for the perfect starting point. Oh, and bonus: John Wayne Airport is just 10 minutes away, so this is a stellar first stop if you’re flying in and feeling jet-lagged but hungry for adventure
