Ultimate peace and privacy. Nestled in juniper-wooded hills with sweeping views. Close to Albuquerque (20 minutes) and Santa Fe (40 minutes) but feels like a secluded retreat. Most people have no problem finding my place by entering my address in their GPS. However, I have had 2 HipCampers report their GPS directed them to a road called Camino de las Brisas or Las Brisas Loop. Turning here will lead you to a steep, dangerous road where it will be very difficult to turn around if you're in an RV and impossible with a trailer. Continue on Camino de Las Huertas to Senda Osa Vieja. It's marked with a street sign, a stone monument with brass plate. There's also a blue "private road" sign with a dragon. This land was purchased in 1956 by my archeologist parents because of the ancient pueblo site (dating from 1000 A.D.) and pit house sites (dating from 800 A.D.) Until the mega drought seriously impacted the land, a stream ran through it year round. Now it is only intermittent. Across the valley from this property, and within view of the campsite, is the site of a Spanish Colonial village, San Jose de las Huertas. It dates from the 1700s and is now owned by the Archeological Conservancy. This area is rich in history both Native American and Spanish. Learn more about this land: Located in the high desert 20 minutes from Albuquerque and 40 minutes from Santa Fe. Views of Sandia mountains, and near historic archeological sites. Within a 10 minute drive are popular mountain biking trails. Petroglyphs are a 20 minute, moderately strenuous hike from property. Very peaceful, quiet and safe.

Tierra del RavenTree

Historic site, natural beauty

This is truly a choice site. Between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, you have beautiful vistas to look out over and all the privacy and hook ups you need (except sewer … no big deal). Susan is an incredibly gracious host, and we appreciated the detailed directions to guide us to this historic site. Be sure to learn more about it while you’re there … it’s a gem that few people get to see. We only wish we’d had another day to explore. And, while Susan was so kind to allow our dog to be off leash, he wore out his welcome when he approached her home and dog inside. It’s a challenging surrounding terrain as well, so keep your doggos (and everyone else!) safely on leash.

Placitas is a beautiful place and the campsite was private and had everything we needed. It wasn't hard to find and Susan was very responsive in making sure I had everything I needed. She even helped me with directions and timing recommendations when my cell didn't have service (at&t) and I didn't know how to get out of the neighborhood. At night I was visited by a friendly horse or donkey. I think it was attracted by my light and was looking for treats but it was respectful when I told it to stay away from my tent! Would recommend.

What a beautiful spot to camp. Close to town, yet off the beaten path. Perfect place to stop for a weekend passing through. Communication was excellent and the spot was exactly as described.

I booked this site because I wanted to make sure my trailer was safe during the day as I did some work in Albuquerque. It was perfect for that vs. a busy city RV park. Super quiet and pretty too! I enjoyed being out of the city and crowd each evening. Susan was easy to communicate with too. Thanks for hosting me!

We stayed here for a couple nights on our road trip from Dallas and enjoyed the space. Wasn’t too hard to find but Susan was very helpful in getting us there. Perfect spot for stargazing! Water and electric available. Cell service and WiFi are very spotty/limited but this wasn’t a huge deal for us. If we are in the area again, we would definitely consider staying here again!
