Mountain RV spot at Elk Ridge Ranch
Elk Ridge is a beautiful property with Elk and Bison located on the property. Our kids even got to pet and feed them. The hosts of this property were super friendly and helpful and made setting up the RV super easy. The site is pretty level with connections close to the RV site. There is even a good amount of room to manoeuvre around. Elk Ridge is also pet friendly. The location is centrally located to Albuquerque and Santa Fe at the base of a mountain. You are close to hiking trails and the National Forest. To get deeper in the National Forest you will need a 4 x 4. While you are located at the base of a mountain you are still close enough to restaurants, stores, and propane while still maintaining a peaceful stay. We will definitely put this on our list to return to if in the area. Would recommend to everyone.

5 Days of Albuquerque Mountain agic
What can I say other than AMAZING! Up to the mountains we parked our Class C for 5 days in a sweet little spot. Phil met us on arrival; site was level and tidy with fauna to add to the privacy from the main house and fenced animals. Although the weather overnight was more than we bargained for in November, we were prepared with proper winter clothing and an adventurous spirit. The grounds were creatively arranged, and Phil prepared the firepit for us to have smores on a moonlit night. Phil and Sue were friendly, warm hosts who shared their love of their animals - elk and bison. I would 100% stay in this camp again as it epitomizes the stark difference between where I live in New England with the beautiful western mountains.

Fantastic
Our stay at Elk's Ridge Ranch was simply wonderful. Feeding apples to the bison was a unique and memorable experience, and watching the magnificent stag elk with his harem was a real treat. The views were picture-perfect, the accommodation & hosts Dale & Susan were outstanding, Their handcrafted pool is a thing of beauty. It was a fabulous stay in beautiful Placitas, New Mexico. We can't wait to return!

Best camping spot all summer
Absolutely the best camping spot we had on our entire trip. The kids loved waking up in the mornings to see the animals and the owners were extremely inviting. We bought some awesome steaks and grilled them right there on the grill provided. we would not have had to get much at all since it was all there ready to go and Dale and Sue were always available to help

Wonderful Wilderness Getaway
What an awesome spot to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and meet some great people. Susan and Dale are wonderful hosts. We appreciated their beautiful spot to catch the solar eclipse and let our dogs run free. We were treated to an up close feeding with the elk and buffalo. We look forward to going back soon.
