6. Casita Needles With RV Spot

Rv spot comes with access to Casita Needles, jacuzzi and firepit. RV Spot: Includes 30amp electrical and water. Casita Needles: This 1925 early 20th-century charm is Needles’ Route 66 hidden gem. A little secret paradise you will fall in love with. Her imperfections make her perfectly rustic and vintage. As a one-bedroom, one-bathroom small 570-square-foot home, I was able to create an illusion of the space being larger than it is. Furniture, appliances, big and small touches, were all measured to fit this space perfectly. My intention was to create a cozy home away from home experience, with all the amenities needed to enjoy a relaxing, carefree stay.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Alamo Lake Santuary

Where do I start… First off, Jen was a fantastic host who was super accommodating. I can’t describe how amazing her hospitality was even during the end of the season. I truly believe in in her mission for spiritual healing in nature, especially those who suffer from PTSD. Second, the property is amazing that is rich in history. There’s so much to do and see without the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday crowds. It is perfect for those who are trying to get away from the busyness of life even just for a couple days. The views were breathtaking. The hiking was fantastic and the lake was super close. Third, then the night sky at this property is absolutely stunning. Looking up at the stars never seen more clear than any picture book or video. My favorite part was the silence of the area during the night. It was the same as or better than a hyperbaric chamber. This was absolutely what I was looking for to reset my mindset after the memorial Day weekend. I absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

4 nights at Secluded Alamo Lake Santuary

I had the best time camping at Almo Lake. The campground was beautiful, had a bathroom, shower, kitchen area. It had it all. I did tent camping but I’ll be back with cooler temps and I plan to stay in the clamping tent. They are nice! I had dinner catered 2 nights and the food was delicious! I rented a kayak 2 days and the lake was so peaceful. I saw lots of wildlife. I def rec this camp ground and will be back! Thanks for an amazing solo camping trip ❤️

Weekend Trip to Secluded Alamo Lake Santuary

Unfortunately I had to cancel on very short notice due to an emergency. I was very clear I did not expect a refund from Jen, and I still don’t because she is not responsible nor should she be penalized for something neither of us could control. That being said, the lead up to my stay she answered all my questions and provided a lot of information that would have made my stay very good I think. So I will rebook once all is settled.

The yurts were very cute and clean. They had working bathrooms and showers and a nice out door BBQ area.

Pano of the area from the mountaintop cross. View is worth the hike!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Alamo Lake Santuary

The property location and campsites were awesome! Close to Alamo Lake and great scenery. Roads are a little bumpy on the ride in, so make sure to have a Jeep or other capable vehicle. The land has an amazing history, so be sure to take the mine and ghost town tour to learn more about it. Jen was a great host, and is extremely helpful with whatever you need. I would highly recommend this spot if you want to be a little more secluded from the crowds of the state park area of Alamo Lake. Can’t wait to go back, and next time I’ll take a telescope to view the stars in all of their splendor in truly dark skies you don’t experience near the cities. A+ overall experience.

This is a gem hidden in the desert. Ms Jen is a super great host with knowledge of the desert plants and wildlife. We had a super great time camping in one of yurt tents. The bed was better than a hotel. The showers and restrooms were a great addition to the area. Thank you so much
