Angel Fire, NM · 9 sites · Tents, RVs
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 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.

Enjoy the majestic beauty of the Taos Valley from the verdant fields and cerros of the Dragonfly Mountain Ranch!
Whether a seasoned traveler or one's first visit to Taos our goal is to exceed expectations. With site options to accommodate various needs and tastes within the Rio Grande Del Norte Nat’l Monument that encompass the Taos Volcanic Plateau or the pastoral fields of Des Montes, just 10 minutes from Arroyo Seco.
While here one can see history come to life by way of our living history ranch and historic home, one of the first homesteads in Des Montes owned by the same family for over 150 years. See firsthand how the unique Acequia system of New Mexico has given life to the surrounding pastoral fields and the agricultural practices of the past still relevant in today’s Taos Valley.
For those wanting the best of both worlds, access to in-town activities as well as trail/hiking/river adventures, the Des Montes sites would be the best selection. Close enough to town for groceries and conveniences along with other sought after tourist attractions such as the Taos Pueblo, Taos Plaza and surrounding galleries/shops. In addition, Arroyo Seco and Arroyo Hondo are quaint little villages less than 10 minutes away for for addt'l groceries/market/restaurant options. The John Dunn Recreation Area is also less than 15 minutes drive from the campsites.
Despite accessibility to endless activities just minutes away there remains a sense of solitude, space and privacy that one would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
Cerro Chiflo, Cerro Montoso and the Miner's Trail are within driving/hiking distance. Spend a day down on the banks of Rio Grande and unwind around the campfire and while stars light up the dark skies.
Your next adventure awaits...hope to see you soon!

Welcome to the Desert Dome!
**Please read the full description before booking to ensure our unique desert oasis is the perfect fit for your stay!**
Experience the magic of the Southwest at the Desert Dome! Built in 2001 as a true labor of love by the local Chaparral community, this unique geodome is the ultimate home base for exploring southern New Mexico and West Texas—or simply unplugging under the vast desert sky.
The Ultimate High-Desert Home Base
Nestled quietly between El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM, you get peaceful stargazing with easy access to incredible day trips! We are perfectly positioned to explore:
National Parks & Monuments: Sled the white gypsum dunes at White Sands National Park, hike the peaks at Guadalupe Mountains National Park, explore underground caverns at Carlsbad Caverns National Park, or marvel at the vast landscapes of Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and Prehistoric Trackways National Monument.
State Parks & Outdoor Spots: Discover world-class bouldering at Hueco Tanks State Park, hike to the historic Tin Mines Trail or Franklin Mountains State Park, or take a scenic drive to Oliver Lee State Park and City of Rocks State Park.
Charming Towns & Day Excursions: Visit historic Old Mesilla for local artisan shops and dining, head up to cool mountain pines in Cloudcroft and Ruidoso, or grab a famous green chile cheeseburger in Hatch, NM (the Chile Capital of the World!).
The Dome Experience & Custom Touches
Artisanal Dream Loft: Head upstairs to a luxurious king-size bed featuring a stunning, hand-carved bed frame brought straight from Juárez, Mexico! Paired with its own half bath and iconic floor-to-ceiling dome window views, it's the ultimate cozy nook for stargazing.
Open-Concept Living: Enjoy a spacious main floor with a full kitchen, dining area, a full bathroom with washer/dryer, and a relaxed living room equipped with two futons, a large reclining couch, and a Smart TV (just bring your favorite streaming logins!).
Beat the Heat: Goodbye swamp cooler, hello modern comfort! We’ve upgraded to full central A/C so you can kick back in crisp, cool air no matter how hot the desert gets outside.
Outdoor Chill Spots: Unwind around the front-yard fire pit and seating area for evening s'mores, or let your pups stretch their legs in the private back yard.
A Front-Row Night Sky Show: Located near Fort Bliss/White Sands Missile Range, you might hear occasional military training or even spot breathtaking tracer missiles falling across the night sky right from the loft window!
Pet-Friendly Living
Your furry friends are family here! We feature a built-in doggy door leading directly to the private, fully fenced back area.
Pet Guidelines: Up to 2 pets are welcome. If you leave your pet unattended, we kindly ask that they are safely secured or kenneled inside. Due to high summer heat, leaving pets unattended for long periods is strongly discouraged.
Embracing Authentic Desert Life
We want you to love the desert as much as we do, so here are a few fun "insider tips" for your stay:
Desert Flora (Goat Heads): Natural stickers and thorns are a staple of desert terrain! We highly recommend wearing sneakers or boots outdoors. Doggy booties are great for sensitive paws, though most pets handle it just fine.
Monsoon Season (June–Sept): Summer brings vibrant desert blooms, warmer temps, and quick afternoon rain. To keep curious desert flies outside where they belong, just give the front door a quick snap when coming and going!
Desert Critters: The dome is on a regular professional pest control plan! However, because we are nestled right in the high desert, an occasional curious bug might still pop in to say hello—it's just a natural part of desert living. Keeping doors closed helps keep them outside where they belong!
Security: For your peace of mind, Ring cameras are located on the exterior of the dome.
From breathtaking sunrises to unforgettable starry nights, the Desert Dome offers a stay unlike any other. We can't wait to host you!

My Hip Camp has two choices for glamping: One is an authentic gypsy wagon with a bed/couch that would fit a shorter person or two very cozy curled up people! the wagon has electric power.
Next to that wagon is a private compost toilet and an outdoor kitchen that has a camp stove, sink over 5 gallon buckets, cooler for food, and water is available for cooking, washing, and sponge baths. Someday we intend to have an outdoor shower, but not yet...
Across the little acequia (water runs through in good moisture years) is a bell tent on a platform that sleeps 4-5 people; it has two full futons and one twin mattress. Sheets and extra blankets are provided, but please bring personal sleeping bags for main bedding. All of the sides of the tent are screened in and there is a shade sail blocking strong morning sun.
The camp is on the road side of the property, but is fenced and the traffic is low on the dirt road. Walking on the roads around my neighborhood is easy and safe.
My house is in the same area of the camp on the property; I live with my adult daughter. We have a Great Pyrenees who roams around and is very friendly, I have two cats who are outdoors often and may visit in the night, and we have goats w babies in the summer, and I start milking the moms in mid July. We have turkeys on the ranchito as well. Guests are welcome to visit w the animals. The camp is named after our beloved dog Cassius, who passed this past year.
We are a mile from the village of Arroyo Seco, and minutes from good hiking trails. We are at the base of El Salto mountain and the views of Taos Mountain are stunning and different every single day I have lived here. This is a relaxing jumping off place in a semi rural neighborhood in a very popular and beautiful village, 5 miles outside of Taos, 20 minutes from Taos ski valley.

Peñasco, NM · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
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!

El Morro, NM · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
El Morro is rich with history. Home to the ancient Pueblo Indians, what is now the monument was once their settlement and visited by Conquistador's and explorers during early explorations. It's famous Inscription Rock has over 2000 names carved in sandstone, including one from Coronado. Geronimo, and Billy the Kid are said to have frequented the area.
But today, a rich group of homesteaders make up the community. Artisan's, actors, musician's, writers, spiritual healers, organic farmers, and free thinkers inhabit the Valley.
The land here hosts retreats and workshops for those wishing to enrich their nighttime dream life. We provide a place for vision quest and have an emphasis on sound healing. Our SolTec Lounge is perfect for stress relief and can help induce lucid dream experiences.
Sitting near the top of Oso Ridge at approximately 7700', we have one of the most inspiring views in the area. From our firecircle, El Morro Monument, Los Gigantes, and numerous mesas are in complete view.
Learn more about this land:
Fehu Retreat is a place for spiritual seekers to find vision and renewal through sound healing and retreat. We offer private retreat, sound healing chair sessions, and vision quests, but we are very excited about opening up the land to campers. It is a unique opportunity to experience normally private areas of this sacred land.
Our remote and quiet 20 acres of heavily forested mountainside includes deep gorges and rocky terrain, while Ponderosa Pine canopies offer shade from the sometimes intense NM sun. Wildlife is plentiful, though sometimes elusive. Deer, Elk, Fox, Bobcat, Lynx, Wild Turkey, Roadrunners and Coyotes are all regularly seen on the land.
Fehu Retreat is across El Morro Valley, near the top of Oso Ridge in the Zuni Mountains, and has a panoramic view of the surrounding mesas. You may want to get a closer view of Los Gigantes - amazing sand sculptures carved by the wind and sacred to ancient tribes.
Two art galleries, a Feed Store, a Holistic Food Store, and a gift/coffee shop are right across the highway and next door to the Café in nearby El Morroville. Come visit our eclectic community!

Sweet Melody Farm is a beautiful, peaceful space with incredible views of the surroundings and the night sky. The hosts were lovely. I especially appreciate that Victoria asked if I needed help backing in, then left me alone when I said "No, thank you". Many hosts and park owners *insist*. Definitely follow the directions to avoid the washboard road. If you do, the small patch of it should no big deal at all.

My wife and I enjoyed camping on this beautiful ranch. We were next to another site which was not bad because sites are very large and spacious. We could not see the other campsites so it was still very private. The views were wonderful and night skies were incredible. We would stay there again.

We stayed in #7 The Pines. It was so relaxing having a spread of land for your own spot and not side by side with others. They also were so thoughtful to leave the bag of extra items that may and often do come in handy at camp along with the grill utensils. The best addition, besides the bird feeders, was their jug of water hung on the tree for handwashing. We also loved their well water. If we come back to this area we definitely will have the E<< on our list. Only drawback if staying more than a few nights is showers, but we didn’t need full showers this trip. Their property was awesome and it looks like they are in the works for new projects.

We stayed at site 5 on 8/13-15. Landon and Kendra's property was amazing. The campsites are well spaced and very spacious. We camped in a tent and had several flat areas to choose from. A campfire ban was in effect but we were able to use the new custom made charcoal grill. The grill is awesome and has a place to make grilled cheese sandwiches. We fished in the ponds one evening ( no luck) but got to watch the horses come down for their evening watering. We saw a lot of prairie dogs and the bird feeders around camp were always busy with hungry birds )lots of humming birds) and chipmunks. The port a potty was super clean. Really close to town for an easy breakfast or lunch. I highly recommend The Bakery, great food and quick service. There will soon be a bathhouse and general store open and progress looks to be coming along nicely. We were able to purchase some sausage and it was great. I would highly recommend a stay at ECC. and we look forward to coming back. Thank you Landon and Kendra for a peaceful stay. 👍👍

From the outset Kendra was an excellent communicator about everything we needed to know. When we arrived it was easy to find our site. We were pleased to see that in addition to a lovely view, our site had an eating table, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, and two hammocks. There was also a gallon of fresh water. There were solar lights so at night you didn’t run into the trees. It was quiet and peaceful.

Camping at John's FEHU tent site was great. We had two nicely prepared pads that were level and free from rocks with alligator juniper, pinon, and ponderosa for a mix on open skies and shady spots. Around the site were a few small prickly pear cacti, but these were easily avoided even with most of us in sandals. Our curious bull mastiff-- not used to living around cactus-- managed to miss them too, so all-in-all, the few prickly pears just added to the Southwest ambiance of the place. The site was peaceful and quiet. It had a place to park a vehicle nearby so it was easy to stash food and access extra gear. At night, we heard the calls of elk and yips and howls of coyotes in the distance. It was a bit of a walk to the outhouse pit toilet, but that outhouse was well worth the walk! It was comfortable, well organized, and, amazingly, odor free. There were some power lines crossing the site nearer to the road, but they were hardly noticeable and afforded us with nice views of valley, mesas, and mountains to the west. John's instructions on reaching his place were excellent. We will definitely be back to visit the area around Ramah and the El Morro Valley. When we do, we'll happily stay at one of John's camping sites again. Hopefully next time, we'll be able to take advantage of some of his add-ons.
Thanks, John, for preparing a great camping experience!

The party spot, a place to get away from everybody, a chance to be loud and crazy, And a place to have a good time as well as that has a group fire pit. Don't have to worry about kids. Don't have to worry about traffic. And definitely, don't have to worry about sirens and ambulances.

We spent two nights at site #8 and LOVED IT! "The cliffs" was a perfect spot for tent camping. The layout is great with enough room to have separated eating, firepit, and tent areas. The pond was surrounded by gorgeous scenery. The accommodations were perfect!

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.
