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.

This charming land has been in the family since my husband was a young boy. The Indian ruins and artifacts fascinated him then and he is still happy to share this history with whoever shows an interest. With all the improvements made by his father and family through the years, you will also learn to have a love for the history and beauty here on this unique 30-acre treasure.
You can explore Native American ruins that were inhabited by some 2,000 people between 700-1100 AD. The grounds are wonderful to walk with a little lake which draws elk, deer, hawks, blue herons, etc.
Easy to access just 3 minutes off I-25. We are 5 minutes away from the Pecos Natl Monument and 15 minutes away from the Pecos River with plenty of great fishing spots ;Visit Santa Fe (20-minute drive) or Las Vegas (30-minute drive) with dozens of restaurants, museums, art galleries, etc.

STARGAZING & MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS ABOUND!
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!

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.

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!

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.

🌵 Ka-Hoon Desert Campground Experience
Welcome to Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, also known as Plateau Hame De Colquhoun — a remote off-grid desert campground in central New Mexico.
Located on the edge of a mesa with sweeping views of the Rio Grande Valley and surrounding mountain ranges, Ka-Hoon offers a peaceful desert stay for both solitude and community connection.
This is a natural, evolving desert property designed for camping, stargazing, and occasional community events.
🚧 IMPORTANT BEFORE BOOKING
Access requires driving on an 11-mile unpaved desert road with washboard sections, dips, and dust.
* Passable by most standard vehicles
* No 4x4 required
* Drive slowly and carefully
* Please read guest reviews before booking
🌿 WHAT KA-HOON IS ABOUT
Ka-Hoon is a respect-based desert space built on one principle:
Respect yourself, others, the land, and local laws.
Established in 2020, this land is part homestead, part campground, and part creative gathering space for guests seeking simplicity, nature, and connection.
Guests may come for privacy, reflection, or light community interaction depending on the season.
🌄 WHAT TO EXPECT
* Wide open desert skies, sunsets, and mountain views
* Rustic, evolving campsites across natural terrain
* Off-grid homestead environment
* Occasional events (music, movies, seasonal gatherings)
* 420-friendly atmosphere
* Wildlife present (including snakes — please be aware)
* Simple shower facilities planned (availability not guaranteed)
🌙 EXPERIENCE STYLE
Ka-Hoon is:
* Not a resort or hotel
* Raw, natural, and minimally developed
* A working desert space that continues to evolve
Guests should expect a real desert experience with limited infrastructure and strong connection to nature.
🌵 FINAL NOTE
Whether you are passing through or staying longer, Ka-Hoon welcomes respectful guests who value open land, quiet space, and desert living.
Come as you are — and experience the desert in its natural form.

We had a wonderful stay at Enchanted Circle Campground! We booked Site 4, which had beautiful views and overlooked the pond. The campground felt peaceful, private, and cool in the evenings—especially nice after spending hot, dry days exploring Taos.
The campground has great amenities, including a volleyball court, footballs, a beautiful fire pit area (at each site), fresh water, dumpsters near the entrance, and helpful site items like a shovel and water. The toilet was a little uphill, but still manageable.
This is a great base camp for exploring the area, with Angel Fire only about 10 minutes away and Taos about an hour away. We really enjoyed the location and would absolutely stay here again.
My only small suggestion would be a spring cleanup around the private residence area you pass on the way in.
Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend it!

This is a hidden jewel off the beaten path, but very much worth finding. The campsites were lovely, you could choose sunny or shaded, and there are options for everything from tents to trailers. Nicely appointed bathhouse. And stunning dark skies at night! You could see the Milky Way!

I’m pretty new to camping but I loved the stay here. My son and I stayed with 3 dogs for a night and I’m pretty sure it was my pups favorite campground- not to mention the beautiful sky that night. Wished we could’ve stayed one more night!

Incredible spot. Amazing setup! Easy to see why they are top 5 sites every year in the entire country! Loved looking down at the ground hogs in the meadow below. Super grateful for the owners lending me a generator in a pinch last night! One note to those in a RV or van, you will need to level out your vehicle w jacks or rocks there or blocks. I did notice site 6 was a good bit more level if you see that one available.

We truly had an enchanting experience at Enchanted circle! We stayed in campsite three the ridge and felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We were greeted by friendly pigs at the water stop and then by many hummingbirds who loved the full feeder at our site. We were visited by beautiful horses. And somehow magical fairies lit up our campsite and the field around us at night. Landon and Kendra were very communicative before and during our stay. It was a seamless no contact check in. Although we never saw them, we felt certain that if we had any concerns we would’ve been taken care of. If we had more time we would’ve extended our stay because it truly was a magical experience.

Very secluded and quiet. Be sure to read the host's messages as you really need the instructions about how to get into the site.
One nice bathroom and one nice shower that are a short walk away at the bathhouse. The host was very helpful .
