4 nights at Juniper Mesa Camp

What a magical place! The views are truly stunning in every direction. So many colors and forms. The place feels so private because of the numerous juniper, but Kate is nearby, responsive, and so generous and kind if you need anything. The yurt kitchen includes a cooler, camp stove, pot, manual coffee maker, small kettle, coffee, tea, oil, salt, pepper, two sets of cutlery, a small knife, and two plates, bowls, and mugs. Kate provides drinking water and wash water/basin - very helpful! I would absolutely stay again except in the height of summer. There is little shade and the yurt can get warm in the sun if there’s not a good wind for a cross breeze. I’m really glad I had a chance to stay here, and I’m so appreciative that Kate has this listing!

1 night at Sunny Mellow Eco Villa

An incredible experience I had staying here— the feeling of calm and carefully cultivated natural peace is unmatched. There are so many wonderful places to sit and enjoy the trees and the birds, or to enjoy a delicious coffee, or to have a giggly conversation with a friend or partner. The hosts of this land are phenomenal human beings, complete with wonderful stories and kind words and dazzling smiles. I will absolutely be bringing the people I love most back to this spot with me, so that they too can experience the magic. Already counting down the days until I am able to return—hopefully in the summer, when the fruit trees have blossomed. :)

1 night at Juniper Mesa Camp

I’ve been traveling around for 2 weeks and this was the best I’ve slept so far. It was deeply peaceful and felt sacred and protected. I’d rather be there right now.

Weekend Trip to Balloon Fiesta RV Parking Space

Pretty spot with hookups; especially appreciated the electric gate which when closed allowed my pup to run freely at the site since I was the only one there. Highly recommend and will stay again!

Weekend Trip to Rio Grande Camp

We really enjoyed a slice of heaven on Ed and Erika‘s Rio Grande River Bank site. The river is truly beautiful here, and we were lucky enough to even see a beaver. There’s ample space to park an RV, and nicely landscaped rock steps take you down to a grassy area on the riverbank of the Rio Grande. You can easily set up here with camp chairs, your kitchen table, even a tent. As others have noted, the highway noise is definitely a factor. It recedes later at night, but if highway noise bothers you… We had the good fortune of meeting Ed, and he was super accommodating and friendly. We would love to stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Little Canyon

Great secluded camping spot not far from downtown Santa Fe. Highly recommend

1 night at Agua de Vida

We only stayed one night for a stopover, but we would’ve loved to stay longer. A paradise off the interstate with a bathhouse to boot! Brenda was kind enough to offer to meet us at the gate, luckily we arrived before dark. Our rig didn’t fit in the campsite we booked but Jimmy moved us to another one.

1 night at Sunny Mellow Eco Villa

super comfy bed in the yoga yurt .. grateful for the much needed healing

2 nights at Agua de Vida

Easy access, not far off from I 25. Close to Pecos National Historic Park, 30 minutes from Santa Fe. Flush toilets in a nice bath house Pretty pond, green spaces and views

1 night at Agua de Vida

Brenda was a lovely host and her land was absolutely breathtaking. From the beautiful walking paths to views of snow capped mountains to her wonderful hospitality, everything was perfect. She even showed my children her bunnies ! We would very much recommend this site if you want a great site driving distance to Santa Fe.

2 nights at Agua de Vida

Nice campsite with bathrooms and showers. Owner was friendly and responsive. Would definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Mystical & Enchanted Desert Escape

We tent camped 2 nights at Star Dance Camp. The location is beautiful. The open air showers had plenty of hot water, the bathrooms were very clean, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need for cooking, and the yoga yurt has yoga mats available for you to use, and appears to be accessible 24/7. Such great amenities to have when tent camping! The campsites are rustic, and each have their positives and potential negatives. We stayed at site 6, which was further away from the beautiful views, but is the only one that you can drive right up to, so we didn’t have to haul our gear in. The other campsites you must walk in to, but they are more protected from the wind and particularly sites 7, 5, and 4 have a beautiful view of the canyon, you are literally on the edge of it. Due to the natural geology of the area, pounding tent stakes in can be difficult, some sites appear to have more surface rock than others. If you have any difficulties or questions, the staff on site are friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, and I enthusiastically recommend Star Dance Camp. I hope to return for a longer stay in the future.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

I fell in love with this place the moment I arrived. So magical. The views for days, and the creativity in the yurt were all so amazing. I even enjoyed a short outdoor shower with a view!! Kate is so welcoming and kind. This is a must do, especially if you're into a dark night sky!! I also enjoyed reading one of the books that was in the yurt (and I do not take time to read a lot). Ever so grateful for my time spent time there. Many thanks!

Weekend Trip to Sunny Mellow Eco Villa

We loved our stay at the Sunny Mellow Yurta! We even extended our stay because it was so amazing. The outdoor shower was my favorite! Gregory and Robin were great hosts!

Weekend Trip to Sunny Mellow Eco Villa

This place was awesome! We had everything we could possibly want and need. Gregory and Robbie were so sweet and helpful with everything from advice on things to do to making us feel truly at home! We even extended our stay once we learned another night was available. This place is a must stay if you’re ever near Albuquerque!

1 night at Sunny Mellow Eco Villa

This was glorious. I loved every bit of it, from the owners to every little amenity. I would recommend 1000% and stay here again if we get the chance.

2 nights at Mesa Top camping

The area was well planned. She had an outdoor sofa and the outhouse was as clean as can be . The road in was a little rough. My GPS from HC website to me off course but a very nice in town helped with directions. Met Kim and she was super nice and welcoming.

1 night at Rancho Algo Mas

Very peaceful and beautiful in the bosque. There are many animals in the area so heed the host's warning to bring ear plugs if the sounds of nature bug you during sleep!

Weekend Trip to Mystical & Enchanted Desert Escape

Luxurious solitude. Incredible views. Comfortable and tidy amenities. Well staffed and organized. Will definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Rio Grande Camp

Lovely little site. There is traffic noise, but it dies down as the night ages. My dog (always on leash!) loved exploring by the river.

Tierra del RavenTree

1 site · RV, Tent18 acres · Placitas, NM

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. Read all the Rules and Safety info before booking so you understand exactly what facilities are and are not available, particularly if you in an RV or trailer.

Two Hawk Ranch

8 sites · RVs, Tents12 acres · Peñasco, NM

Two Hawk Ranch is comprised of 12 acres of high mountain valley meadows, hay fields, Acequias, trees and the Rio Chiquito. Yes, we are located at approximately 7,800ft elevation. My husband and I stumbled across this beautiful and serene property by accident in 2020 just as Covid hit. We feel blessed to be here and feel the need to share it’s calming, restful qualities. We have three adult children and have three grandchildren. We also have eight international children as we hosted international students for four years. You are welcome to come sit by the fire and be social or just do your own thing. Learn more about this land: Sites located across the property for up to 8 groups. The RV camping is located near one of our horse corrals and above our irrigation Acequia, above or next to the house, or in the field down by the arena after haying is complete (usually after the first week of July as long as the rain cooperates). Can back in or pull through and has 110v power nearby. No water to hook up to, but we can fill your tanks via hose by the house or arena. Other sites available if you don’t need power, or have a generator. Property is within a 100yds of national forest service that gives access to off-roading, hiking, biking, horse riding, fishing, and winter snowshoeing, cross country skiing, etc. We are located just off the High Road to Taos in Llano, 29 miles south of Taos and 55 miles north of Santa Fe. We are eight miles from Ski Sipapu and eight miles from Rio Santa Barbara Canyon. Your well-behaved pets are welcome. We also have one great dane (Raggy), a great dane mix (The Morrigan), one ranch cat (Sasha) and four horses (Gentry, Shadow, Mattie & Jr G). The dogs are a rescue of some kind. The Morrigan is black, 3.5 yrs old and comes out of a rescue in AZ. She went in with her litter as a 5 month old puppy, and she came here about a year later. She is reticent and suspicious, so ignore her and she will come up to you on her own; continue to ignore her. Ragnar (Raggy) is our most recent rescue and is from Las Cruces. He's 3 yrs old and a merle. He suffers from anxiety and fears children. We are working him through his fears, and he is doing really well. The weather here tends to run cooler, as we are located in the mountains in a small valley at approximately 7,800 ft above sea level. In the spring through fall, temps will average from mid 40°F up to mid 60°F at night and mid 60°F up to mid 90°F during the day. Temps can get into the 100°F's in the summer, but that is rare. Generally if the sun is out, it is warm or hot even tho the actual temps are not. It's a high-altitude affect. The opposite is true as well. Cloud cover will feel cooler. We also experience monsoon style rains that occur in the afternoon generally starting in July and running into August or later. In the late fall through early spring during winter, the average temps usually run from 0°F up to mid 20°F at night with occasional dips into negative temps and in the day generally run from mid 20°F up to the mid 40°F range. Same as above - if the sun is out, it will feel warmer, etc. We do hay the fields, so we may have tractor activity going on in the late spring and early summer. In the winter we will be clearing snow from the roads and feeding hay. Can't wait to see everyone this year!

Rancho Algo Mas

1 site · RV, Tent7 acres · Ohkay Owingeh, NM

This land was previously undeveloped when we bought it in 2011, having only been used as horse grazing land and chile production in the 1960s. It is characteristic of inherited irrigated properties in the area and is about 150 ft wide and half a mile long that extends from the traditional irrigation ditch (acequia) at the top of the property to the river drainage. In the 1940s the Chile Line Railroad ran through here on the way to Espanola. Learn more about this land: Nestled in the river valley halfway between Taos and Santa Fe, near the confluence of the Rio Chama and the Rio Grande, this off-grid property is just north of Ohkay Owingeh, where indigenous settlements have existed for many centuries due to rich soil and available ground and surface water. In the 1500s settlers from Mexico came to farm land for New Spain. These historical Spanish and Native influences and identities run deep in this area, as well as the more recent influences of hippie dropout culture in Taos, Ojo Caliente, and Dixon. We have lots of book recommendations if you want to learn more about the complexity of culture and identity in northern New Mexico. Our 5 acres property is a narrow agricultural strip that extends from the irrigation acequia (ditch) at the top of the property down through a dense bosque (forest), ending in a path to the placid river bend of the Rio Grande. The campsites lie midway, among the privacy of the cottonwood bosque and adjacent pond. It is a short walk to a riverside perch with stairs to the shallow water and kayak launch. Other activities on the property include visiting the goats, chickens, and our friendly dogs, playing on the scrap-built playground, swinging on the pond swing, wading in the river, fishing, and doing some beginner kayaking the pond. This property is at its best late Spring through mid Fall when all is green, the pond is full and river is cool. Winter camping is still doable but may include snow, frozen pond, and leafless trees, and sandhill cranes. The site has a nice firepit and we have lots of wood. Summertime means mosquitos so come prepared with some serious sprays or creams- and don't bother with citronella candles, they won't be effective here. You will have a lot of privacy in the bosque, and it is relatively quiet from urban noise. You will be in agricultural and farm country, so you will be amongst the sounds of roosters, sheep, goat, peacocks and horses doing their thing in the farm land all around you. There can be dogs barking so if any of this noise bothers you you will want to bring earplugs.

We require guests to arrive no later than an hour before sundown (summer 7:30pm - winter 5:00pm) We require this because we are very rural and our sites are not lit to keep our property natural and prevent light pollution for ourselves and our neighbors. In the past we've issued refunds for people who have neglected this rule. We will no longer be doing so in the future.

River Sanctuary by Ojo Hot Springs

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · La Madera, NM

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the Carson National Forest right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3 acres right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives. Right by the river, held by a ridge (that makes for amazing sunset hikes), I have a 16ft Yurt Canvas set up with furnishings (desk, couch, wash stand) and a wooden Queen Bed with down bedding. This site can only be reached by foot across the river via stumps- a car can be parked near by.. approx. 50ft. I also have a Vintage Camper that can be heated, has a kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. As well as a monastic and very grounding Ensuite Bedroom, or a simple campsite if you want to bring your own camper or tent. All facilities have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house. I offer dog sitting while you soak at Ojo, healing modalities that you'll find in the Extras section, and my dear neighbor Jackie takes appointments for massages with homemade essential oils. +++ 6 miles to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area, with locally/organically farmed produce. The land is naturally and beautifully wild- it is not a manicured campsite. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August only. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and a repellent work great. Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away. *No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.
