This quiet and tranquil setting is specifically designed for the RV traveler seeking a safe and peaceful city location for their Albuquerque stay. This site offers a respite from the congestion found in other parts of the city. The large fenced and gated one acre lot and unobstructed views provide a peaceful semi-rural setting that is difficult to find so close to town. You won't hear the constant buzz of passing cars in this area, just a bit of nature and plenty of peace and quiet. You'll also find less light pollution in this part of the city so after the sun goes down you can enjoy a great view of the stars and city lights. This is also a great location to watch the early morning hot air balloons take flight, or if you are looking for that perfect spot to take your daily run/bike ride without dodging cars or worrying about your safety.

Pristine camping along a small creek. Flat area surrounded by mountains and cottonwoods. Hiking is along the acequia, across the creek or you can actually hike in the creek, as the water runs underground shortly past my property. There are also many places to hike west of my property along Rosa Castilla. Wild horses roam all over the BLM land and along the creek. Desert area, 6000" elevation, so very dry and must be excectionally careful about fires. Only in provided grills . There is abundant wood that you can use for free, but put all coals out and you can use the creek water, when it is there. REMEMBER this is the desert!!I would like to book a 3 month visit from January 1st-April 1st with free water. You need to provide your own electricity, but solar would be an excellent option as sites are on south facing, so panels would work well. I would like to trade a discount for help on the farm during this time. $5.00 a day disount, plus the water. You would be the only one booked during this time, so very quiet and private for long term winter stay!!

Neema provided us with a safe space to park for the night that had the amenities we needed. The bathroom was clean and easy to access. We saw hot air balloons in the sky as we were leaving, which was an awesome way to wrap up our stay!

Everything was wonderful at Neema's. I really appreciated the access to a restroom and shower. The property is well curated and very peaceful. The goats were an added bonus as well. I will definitely stay again.

Charming little spot tucked away in Placitas. I camped at this spot during my hunt and it was perfect for what I needed. I would highly recommend getting there before dark to set up as it can be tricky to back a trailer in. Overall, it was worth the money and a nice place to retire after a long day of hunting.

I had the most delightful time at the ranch. Juliet was so lovely! Wild horses wander the roads, and the nature is stunning. On owl even sat in the tree above my campsite. I would absolutely return again!

Juliet was wonderful! She accommodated me arriving late and even came out to guide me where to park as I had arrived around 10pm. Peaceful spot by the creek and I bought fresh eggs that were so brightly colored! Would recommend only truck or car and not travel trailers as the area down to the parking is pretty tight. The goats cracked me up! Slept great by the creek! Was a quick layover just to rest and would use her place again as a layover! Very safe as I was traveling with just me and the dog.

I absolutely loved getting to camp on Neema’s beautiful property. I felt very at-home and comfortable. The property is overfilling with peacefulness and tranquility and the full bathroom was perfect. Neema is a very kind, hospitable host—communicative, conscientious, and very helpful by providing loads of recommendations for the area. I will definitely be staying here again anytime I find myself in Albuquerque. Staying here filled up my cup!
