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.

If you're looking for a quick stay while passing through Albuquerque, I have a spot for you! I'm in the process of putting back together and repairing a small house, and in the meantime, it makes for great indoor camping. There’s no shower, but the toilet and hot water work.
It’s pretty bare-bones — that’s why I call it camping — but there’s a bed, a table, and some chairs. Pets are okay too! I’m about 3 miles from Old Town.

Dusty Rabbit Van Life @ Schrimsher Ranch is an alternative camping and Star Gazing location just outside of ROSWELL, yet close to the open road. A great place to relax under the stars, have a camp fire, and kick back next to your travel rig after a long day. You might just want to crash for the night in a safe location out on the rangeland or stay a day or two to enjoy the land to walk, mountain bike antelope trails, and maybe even Sniffers the pronghorn antelope will find ya before you head out. This is a primitive site, so leave no trace practice is appreciated and pack in/out is how we do it here. If you come in the summer prepare the morning coffee early and enjoy the desert sun's rays hit the Capitan, but by 9am it will be hot, so be ready! Best star gazing and satellite watching in the world!
I have several sites to choose from. But remember to keep an eye on the wind and weather as it can get crazy out here sometimes…..!!! I try to keep the sites stocked with firewood, but fill free to bring your own.
Lonely Bull Camp 1 is my most popular site. It is very private and is easily accessible by most vehicles and campers.
Ask about Lonely Bull Camp 4x4 if you have a capable vehicle. Amazing stars!!
Old Highway Camp is a great alternative if you want something closer to the highway and have a safe private place to pull over, camp, kickback, make a fire and get back to your life on the on the road in the morning. It is closer to the highway, but is quite at night and has great star gazing. Enjoy being greeted by The Mountain in the morning. Let me know where you would like to stay and I will do my best to accommodate you! Safe travels!

Today the cows are gone, along with the vast tracts of land and the cowboys that managed the herds.
The Lyons and Campbell Ranch Headquarters remains as a time capsule of an era past. The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub. Our RV sites are closed in the winter, but our Airbnb apartments are closed in January only.

Santa Fe, NM · 1 site · Tent, RV
This RV/trailer campsite is close to art and culture like our Roller Rink Rockin’Rollers, great views, grocery shopping, parks, restaurants and dining and only a 20 minute scenic drive to town.
You’ll love glamping in Santa Fe at a Llama Ranch! Get to know llamas on a face to face basis. They are funny and very smart. They love to get to know their human neighbors!
This is a real west vintage camping experience which includes a full hookup ( for a trailer or RV that is less than 30 feet with 120v electricity, water, sewer and WIFI. Watch the sunset from your private shaded deck with mountain views! This is a romantic get away for couples, a serene hideaway for solo adventurers, and comfortable and homey for business travelers.

My partner and I absolutely loved this place. We came across it when our other camp site didn’t work out and the hostess was extremely helpful and accommodating even while out of town he had his ranch hand available for help which was amazing. We were traveling with two dogs as well one who is a doxin mix and was extremely at peace all night no barking it was just so beautiful. If you’re into star gazing this is the spot I highly recommend this place and will be back! Only con is there is no cellular service so make sure to remember how you came in.

Loved the quiet, secluded primitive camping. Mountain elevation provides wonderful star gazing when sky is clear, cool days, cold nights, animals passing through, and forest fragrances make for a peaceful stay. Depree is a helpful, friendly host who loves to share her land. Great visit! Thanks, Depree, for being a great host!

Stayed at site 4 over July 4th weekend. It was the perfect spot for some much needed peace and quiet. The site overlooks the pond and I felt I had it all to myself. They put a lot of attention to detail in making it a great experience. Hammocks hung, table and chairs, wood lounge chairs, hand wash station, solar lights, bird feeders, bbq grill w/grill utensils, shovel/ poker for enormous firepit (didn't use because area under burn ban). Nearby vault toilet by game area was very convenient. Everything was perfect! My only complaint...that I did not learn how to photograph the night sky before visiting! Lol! Seriously kicking myself for missing out on capturing such a magical view. I have seen a lot of starry nights but out there with no light filtration the sky seemed so much larger. Magical. I love how spread out all the sites are and hope they maintain that in the future. I will be back!

Lovely site, great host who brought us firewood. So beautiful and peaceful. Saw lots of wildlife! Only suggestion would be signs leading to specific camps because we got lost trying to find it and nearly set up on someone else's spot.

ECC was so peaceful. The sites are very spread out (1+2 seemed the closest to each other) so you really have privacy. We were at site 2 and every morning the horses would wander by. It was a beautiful sunrise with horses in the mix. Great stargazing at night. We walked around the property during the day which was a nice little adventure and we took a day trip to Taos which was a very cool drive through Carson National Park. Definitely recommend a visit to ECC!

The isolation was what the doc ordered. A bit difficult to find the site, just turn left where the fresh gravel is and keep driving parallel to the main road a bit until yo see the marker.

Beautiful area, , with full hook up’s. There were two large dogs running loose, luckily they were friendly. We have two small dogs so that was just a bit of a draw back for me. The owner was able to call them back which was nice.

Very quiet, very windy. Depending on where you're at, there's also access to a giant fire pit, it's perfect place to hold parties. Especially because they have live music up here twice a week. And they play It on TikTok and YouTube.
