Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
Padilla Ranch is a 375 acre historical ranch that includes the ruins of the Tajique Indian Pueblo which dates back at least to the 1500's. 50 acres will be designated for HIP CAMP. In the Tewa language, Tahiki means"where the grasslands meet the forest." It is one of the oldest pueblos, if not the oldest, pueblos in the United States. The natural feature of Padilla Ranch is it is located on the East slopes of the Manzano Mountain range and contains numerous pinon, junipers, pine and oakbrush trees that provide perfect environment for such wild life as elk and deer. The Tajique Creek runs through the Padilla Ranch & is generally a live stream and includes a dam which furnishes water for the Tajique acequia system (which is a historic irrigation system) . Padilla Ranch also contains numerous hiking trails, horseback riding trails nearby. The Manzano Mountain wildness is located approximately 7 miles west of Padilla Ranch in the Cibola National forest where in the Fall, there is a large maple, oak and aspen forest, which is one of the largest in the country. Spacious Wilderness camping is one of the most attractive features of Padilla Ranch for tent and other forms of outdoor camping.

Site 13 - Padilla Ranch! Trees & open spaces
We enjoyed our stay on Pat's land very much--it's a beautiful property, both open and wooded, with a stream running through it and herds of elk. The hookups for electricity and water were convenient, the sites were secluded and spacious, and there was plenty of firewood. Pat and Wanda are gracious hosts. It's definitely worth a day trip while you are there to see the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument about a half hour away.

Nice and quiet
Pat and Wanda were wonderful hosts! They even strung some lights for us when they knew we would be back late. We had a wonderful time. The site was quiet, the campers friendly and the weather beautiful. The camp is a work in progress, and I am excited to see their plans come to fruition. Thank you both again!

Vela Family reunion - 2023
This was extremely remote and the wild life was fantastic. The Padilla Ranch went way above my expectations. Area was secure, water was fresh with plenty of space. We will definitely be back next year. Thanks Pat!

Serene and Beautiful.
Beautiful sites. Whether a novice or experienced camper, Padilla Ranch is the place to get away from city and noise. The night time stars are brilliant and serene. The owner was helpful and pleasant. The perfect place to see the annular solar eclipse. Far enough away to relax and close enough to tour Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

I loved the fact there were trash receptacles and I didn't have to pack out our trash and also loved that there was a little pond and stream. The area had very few cacti or stickers and was nice to walk around barefoot.
