3 nights at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp

Amazing place! I sadly didn’t get to stay for my whole stay because my plans ended up changing but I will be back! Very quiet and serene. Showers and bathrooms were very very clean!!

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

My friends and I had a great time staying the night at art city, we had issues with our propane portable stove so we were able to use the outdoor kitchen.It had everything you could need. The art and sculptures are super cool, theres art everywhere even the bathrooms. Our camp spot was great for us and we plan on returning sometime and recommending to friends also.

1 night at Heaven or Taos 🪐

Kelly and Eddie are wonderful hosts, so kind and caring. Everything is clean and well organized, loved our stay, we will go back!

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

This site was great. I loved the open kitchen and shower format. Cheers to Matty for building this wonderfuly ambitious project. Art through physical interaction with the piece has always been a favorite of mine and this place was on point. My family loved it.

3 nights at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp

Beautiful location, quiet and secluded, a great spot to spend a few days. Ciana was a thoughtful and welcoming host! Definitely plan to come back and bring the whole family this time.

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

My husband and I enjoyed camping on Matty’s land. We appreciated the communal atmosphere and all of the incredible works of art. It was so much cooler in person. It’s definitely a place we would recommend to friends and come back to.

Weekend Trip to HarmonyTaos Regenerative Farm

We had a great stay at Harmony Farm. The host was very friendly, her property is beautiful and super close to downtown, the bathrooms and showers are immaculate, and the Farm is easy to find. We highly recommend staying here and also taking the host’s guided Farm tour.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

Kate continues to be just the best host possible! This was my second visit to her yurt and she was so helpful and generous in giving me the best tips for hiking, art browsing, and even river access to cool off on the hot June day! The yurt also continues to be a fantastic place to rest, recharge, center, think. The light in the space is gorgeous and amplified by the pretty cloths Kate has thoughtfully draped around the windows. Also, I used the outdoor shower - fantastic!! Booked my third stay for the fall and I can't wait - thank you Kate!

Weekend Trip to HarmonyTaos Regenerative Farm

The glamping setup was amazing—tucked away in a super private and peaceful part of the property. The sunset views melting into the mountains and the star-filled night sky were nothing short of epic! Thoughtful touches like the wagon to easily haul your gear from the car to the site show just how much care went into creating this space. The shared bathroom and shower? Honestly better than most hotels! The way the light filters through the shower wall is so cool and unique. Incredible host and a truly special desert escape!

Weekend Trip to Healing on the Rio Grande !

Ernesto and Michaela were very friendly and welcoming.

Weekend Trip to Art City Tucumcari

This is a great place! The art structures are certainly worth seeing, and they are especially fun as they are made to be interactive. The kids in our group thought it was so fun to climb on everything! Many of them light up at night, which was also a cool and unique feature. The bathroom facilities are clean, camp is super quiet/respectful, and the Art City staff were super friendly! The only negative I can think of was that the campus seemed a bit overgrown and unkept in terms of weeds. However, we visited during early June rains, so this could have been the reason trails were not kept up.

1 night at Juniper Mesa Camp

Such a neat and cozy place to stay! Highly recommend, we hope to be back soon! Kate showed us around and was a lovely host! The bohemian decor in the yurt is such a vibe, we loved it!! Oh and amazing views from the yurt.

1 night at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp

Had a nice quiet site next to national forest. Only stayed one night but it was a nice place to be. Would stay here again

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

Fun place to camp and enjoy the art. The showers are great. I enjoyed the hot tub in the evening but when I went in the morning it was only warm ish and I couldn’t figure out how to work the sauna. The communal kitchen was very nice. The sites are a little rough and when we were there in early June it was very muddy. The bathroom situation is a little confusing. All in all I enjoyed my stay but the price seemed a little high.

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

Art City was a trip! Beautiful land, interesting art, and a VERY nice shower/hot tub/sauna setup. Genuinely one of the nicest showers I’ve ever had at a campsite. Host was lovely, very friendly and welcoming, and answered all my questions. I will say watch out for snakes and tarantulas while walking around the land though! Super cool to see, but just be warned!

1 night at Dragonfly Mountain Ranch

First and foremost, what stood out to me the most was how helpful, responsive, and accommodating Don was as a host! He always responded super promptly to any questions I had, provided tons of restaurant and trail recommendations, and even allowed us to move our reservation one day to try to avoid bad weather. He made everything super easy for us! As for the property itself, it was AWESOME! It is located basically at the foot of the mountains, with beautiful views, especially at sunrise and sunset. The flat, grassy area was perfect to pitch a tent and sleep comfortably. Our host made sure we had plenty of firewood as well. There's also a lot of brushy wood piled along the property that is great for kindling. The porta potty was super clean, with no smell at all. Overall, 10/10 experience at this site, and Don was an awesome host!

1 night at Art City Tucumcari

This place is so fun and the hosts were great. My dog and I had a great time exploring the art pieces scattered throughout the area. The communal spaces are beautifully creative and welcoming. I will be recommending this place to anyone passing through the area, but really, it’s worth a detour.

1 night at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp

Wonderful location overlooking forests, hills and valleys. Sites are spread out nicely. Clean bathrooms. Hosts are friendly and helpful.

7 nights at Little Canyon

My daughter and I loved our stay. She enjoyed the treehouse very much. The tent was spacious. I would recommend and hope to visit again when we go back to Santa Fe.

Weekend Trip to Art City Tucumcari

Art City is a terrific place to camp for and over night or several days. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The staff we kind and helpful. The showers and toilets were clean. The hot tub and Sauna were nice features that we loved. The art on property was a bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

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.

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.

Enchanted Circle Campground (E<<)

13 sites · RVs, Tents161 acres · Angel Fire, NM

The Enchanted Circle Campground sits on the Avalon Ranch. It is 161 owned acres surrounded by a state trust lease. We are very proud to have been voted #1 Campground in NM 4 years in a row and ranked Top 5 by Forbes in the country. We have 8 Sites to choose from. (No large RVs at 4, 7 or 8) Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Free potable water is available as well as a portable toilet. For cooking, you will have a fire pit, with a cast iron grill. Every site (but 7) has a standing charcoal grill, with tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. A fire extinguisher and a shovel. We hang a hand washing jug at every site for your convenience, with potable water, but do not suggest this for drinking water source. The property was originally homesteaded in 1893. It was also the first potato farm in NM. It has seven ground-fed springs that run year-round and is officially the Coyote Creeks Headwaters. The springs converge after filling 4 of our ponds in the marshland where the potatoes were grown. A family of 4 lived in the first dwelling built here, not much larger than a shed. Since that time, 2 homes, 1 of which still stands, a barn, a smokehouse, and 4 other outbuildings were constructed. There are old wagons and farm equipment from the late 1800s and early 1900's still strewn about the ranch. We are home to Huge herds of Elk, mule deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, eagles, black bears, 9 horses, chickens, pigs, goats, our 2 dogs and 4 cats, and the occasional Mountain Lion. We live here year-round. We love our land and want to share it with others. I am a Veteran and our intent is to eventually have a Veterans Retreat facility here. Not a retreat itself, but rather a location for all of the retreats, nationwide, to be able to utilize, so they can use the funds they have to do what they do best. You are helping to make that possible. We do pride ourselves on minimally impacting our land. We strive to keep it clean and as close to nature as we can. And as always, Veterans, LEOs, and Fire Fighters are always free for one night up to 4 guests. Just book your reservation, and show us your ID during your stay, and we will reimburse you for your last night with us.

Jemez Mountains A-Frame Cabin

We are excited to share our little A-frame cabin in the woods! The cabin is quite rustic ( and quite cute). Think of it like glamping -- outhouse, wood burning stove, dirt roads, and beautiful trees and mountains included.

The cabin is a 432 square foot A-frame in a small mountain community, which is surrounded by the Jemez National Forest. There are a few places to hike right from the front door, and many, many trailheads within a 20 minute drive. Fenton Lake is a short drive away, and the San Antonio Hot Springs is a 2.5 mile hike, bike, or ski away right out the front door for the confident adventurer. Located 1.5 hours from Albuquerque and Santa Fe, a few miles off of NM-4 between the town of Jemez Springs and the Valles Caldera National Preserve.

Camping in New Mexico guide

Overview

In the southwestern US, New Mexico offers a distinct vibe not found elsewhere in the country, or even in the region. Here you’ll find Old West mining towns, restorative hot springs, and all sorts of historic sites, including ancient pueblos and protected national monuments, not to mention a distinct cuisine that borrows elements from Tex-Mex and Indigenous culinary traditions. You won’t be disappointed with the camping—the state offers a variety of terrains, from quiet forests to vast expanses of desert, and with five national forests, 30 state parks, and lots of untouched private land, there's no shortage of spots to set up a tent.

Where to go

Central and North Central New Mexico

New Mexico's Central and North-Central regions are home to many of the state's most popular cultural attractions, and both Albuquerque and Santa Fe are here. Area highlights include Bandelier National Monument and Petroglyph National Monument, as well as numerous pueblos. The most famous of these—the Taos Pueblo—is a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years.

Northwest New Mexico

Cultural attractions abound in Northwestern New Mexico. Highlights include the Zuni Pueblo and the Acoma Pueblo—both the Jicarilla Apache Nation and the Navajo Nation call this region home. Other points of interest include the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and El Mapais National Monument.

Northeast New Mexico

Situated where the Rocky Mountains give way to the Southwestern plains, this area is characterized by prairies, ranches, and Western charm. Popular historic and natural attractions include the Fort Union National Monument and the Capulin Volcano National Monument. Conchas Lake State Park and Ute Lake State Park offer ample opportunities for fishing, boating, and lakeside camping.

Southwest New Mexico

For a Wild West experience, head to the southwestern corner of the state. Here you'll find plenty of old ghost towns, historic mission communities, and pristine natural areas. The area is also rich with hot springs, particularly in the low-key spa town of Truth or Consequences.

Southeast New Mexico

Culture, history, and the great outdoors converge in southeastern New Mexico, home to both of the state's national parks (White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns) as well as a host of museums, from the New Mexico Museum of Space History to the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner. Fans of the paranormal won't want to miss Roswell, the site of the famous Area 51 UFO sightings and a de facto pilgrimage site for all things alien.
