Nice remote place to camp without being close to other people as you would at a typical camp ground. The hike down to the river appeared too difficult so I had to turn back once the boulders in the gully got larger and I couldn’t make out the trail.

Wonderful camping in the fall!!
The host, Sean, was incredible! When we arrived he oriented us with the property and showed us to our campsite. The area is beautiful! If you take the time to hike down to the upper part of the canyon, the views are breathtaking!
If you’re camping in the fall, be sure to bring your thermal wear and thermal because it gets cold! Also, be sure to bring coffee with you if you need it to function because it was not provided this trip.
I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be back in the summer!

Diana runs an outstanding campsite. Tent camping was very quiet and peaceful especially since no other campers were close. The stars were amazing! The hot tub, outdoor showers, restrooms and public kitchen are great additions for those not interested in totally "roughing it". The site is only a 30 min drive from the Georgia O'Keefe Ghost Ranch and its multiple amazing hikes. Will definitely visit again.

Breathtaking Views—Nature’s Best
Diana’s place was absolutely spectacular. The grounds are amazing, the land is rich in its beauty and bounty, and the peaceful, healing atmosphere with crisp mornings was everything needed to have a mind-body-spirit reset. Yoga yurt, hot tub, walking paths, a kitchenette, clean bathrooms, and refreshing outdoor showers. She’s thought of everything—can’t wait to come back and stay again.

A very special place!
Star Dance is an experience! Incredible views, wonderful hosts - cannot wait to return.
Even more beautiful than the pictures, Star Dance is a gem of a spot for a unique camping experience. The hosts we very communicate, directions were perfect & we loved camping in our van next to the horses! So fun to wake up & say good morning to them!
We had a quick stay & hope to return to spend more time and enjoy all this special place has to offer.

Stunning property with phenomenal views. It truly is a beautiful setup with all the amenities one might need. Wear a good pair of shoes and take your light weight camp gear. You’ll be a better person when you leave this paradise.

A really great retreat!
My husband and I loved spending time at Stardance! The camp spots are well spaced, there are good amenities like a nearby fully stocked kitchen and showers and toilets, and the land is amazing with the most beautiful views, sunrises and sunsets and night skies. There's lots to explore and observe, lizards to make friends with, and great spots to just stop and be. If you're there during a hot spell bring some shade- we had an accommodating juniper at our site, but it might have been tough in the heat of the day without her. The swimming beach at Abiquiu lake is nearby but we didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back!

The most beautiful generous place
Star Dance was the most beautiful place we've ever camped in. From the drive in starting on hwy 84 all the way past the gate in, we were blown away by the landscape.
Diana was super easy and accessible to communicate with, she was there within seconds to greet us and made us feel immediately at home as she walked us to our campsite--it is clear that she is a knowledgeable caretaker of the land and she shared some secrets of the land with us (the rocks blown over from Changing Woman mountain...)
The bathroom and gorgeously tiled outdoor shower (with a view of the canyon!!) were immaculate, the tuff shed kitchen is fully stocked--super grateful to get to pack light this trip and still be able to cook a hot meal AND safely store perishable items. Everything here is just so thoughtfully designed (appreciated the picnic tables too) while remaining in harmony with nature. Also a really sweet communal yurt for tenters to stretch in/yoga or just in case of weather.
No picture will ever do the camp site full justice--you're as close as you could be to camping in the heart of a canyon. View of shimmering lake, it's simply heaven. Saw bunnies, hummingbirds galore, lizards, heard the grazing cattle at night.
Multiple paths to start your hike down from Star Dance into the canyon, walking sticks are also offered. This place has everything you could possibly wish for, come here and just be.
Will never forget this journey. Thank you, Star Dance & Diana.

Camping Under the Galaxy
Star Dance will forever be one of my favorite places to stay. This is my second time returning and it just as magical as the first time. We caught some rain on the way in but it made for a beautiful sunset. The real prize of this place though is the night sky. We were in awe of the brilliance that is Star Dance after dark. We highly recommend having a late night in the hot tub to experience the beauty of it all. Absolute 10/10 once again. We will be returning a third time someday. And Diane was lovely! She kindly showed us around the site and let us be for the rest of our stay.

The BEST in the Land of Enchantment
Had a wonderful time at Star Dance High Desert Retreat! Diana was welcoming and helpful to me and my son and we would like to thank her and her family for sharing their land with us for the five days we were there.
The land is exceptionally beautiful and spiritual. Incredible sunset and sunrises, this is Big Sky country for sure.
We camped near the edge of the canyon and had an incredible view. We hiked down into the canyon a few times and explored all of the terrain and got a great workout as well.
The amenities were great and made the retreat so comforting, great kitchen-everything you would need to make a meal, two clean modern bathrooms and the two outdoor enclosed showers with hot water and views were just unique and refreshing to say the least.
There is so much to see there and we got to visit the two sweet rescue horses as well. Well worth the very reasonable rate for sure.
Will definitely be bcak!
Thanks Diana.

Stardance tipi for the traveling.
A Special Place
Loved staying here! I was traveling solo and had never stayed in a tipi so I went for it. It’s very spacious, so definitely could see up to five sharing. Having a stove, outdoor shower and sink/toilets made it so easy to just relax and enjoy. Diana is so hospitable, and her property is absolutely gorgeous. I loved sipping coffee or reading while enjoying the view, as well as hiking down into the canyon to explore. There’s just enough cell service if needed, but just little enough to tell family and friends you’re going radio silent to really soak in the surroundings and unwind. Would definitely come back!

A very special property, absolutely stunning views and hikes, host couldn't be nicer. We slept so well in the tipi, very quiet and remote location. Fully outfitted kitchen, clean restrooms, hot showers - overall a great value and we would not hesitate to stay again. Thanks again, Diana!

The hot tub makes a camp to remembe
The location is beautiful- a high desert plateau with a canyon drop. Sean was very accommodating. The bathroom and shower were clean and nice. Beat of all was the hot tub. Watching the sunset then stars come out and then lightning storm was amazing.

Loved every moment
I am so grateful that my boyfriend and I got the opportunity to tent camp here. They have clearly put so much time and money into their land, and it is absolutely stunning campground. Well marked, great sites, clean bathrooms/kitchen, and very quiet. The directions to the place were helpful, and the owners were friendly and welcoming. It is such a great place to escape and reconnect with this beautiful world we live in (and have access to running water at the same time).

Wonderful facilities, beautiful landscape. Be careful though — it’s easy to get lost if you go hiking, or arrive after dark like I did! Directions in Google maps to the campground were right on from Santa Fe. Would have loved a map of the campground and hiking trails though as I got lost a few times. Dreamy hot outdoor shower and flushing toilets, plus well stocked kitchen made my stay very comfortable.

It was an honor and privilege to visit Diana’s gorgeous home. It’s so clear that Diana has put immense love and care into stewarding the land and campgrounds, and is extremely knowledgeable about the changing weather and climate of the region.

Lovely sites, pack horse needed
Great amenities... toilets, showers, hot tub, kitchen & beautiful trails and land. But difficult to get supplies to camp.
A couple rough/tough wagons would go a long way! :)

Stardance tipi for the traveling.
The property is beautiful and well maintained. The access to trails is wonderful and the views are stunning. All of the amenities made our stay very comfortable, you really have everything you need there. The only complaint we have is under no control of the hosts, they were amazing. We stayed in a tipi and the weather was very windy and very loud. Although it kept us shielded from the wind, canvas of the tipi whipped pretty hard through the night. So, check the weather, bring some earplugs. We would stay again, but be more prepared for that possibility.
