RV camping in New Mexico

·

Rugged mountains, far-as-the-eye-can-see desert vistas, and dreamy sunsets await outdoor adventurers in New Mexico, and the fifth-largest state is dotted with historic monuments, natural wonders, and remnants of the Wild West. Whether you’re road-tripping through Albuquerque along historic Route 66, discovering the state’s cultural heritage in Navajo, or white-water rafting along the Rio Grande, you won’t be far from an RV park or state park. Further south, there are miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails, as well as RV camping in the Gila and Lincoln national forests, while the lakeside campsite at Elephant Butte Lake State Park fills up during the hot summer months. Self-contained RV campers can enjoy backcountry camping (permits required) at White Sands National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park, but for pull-through campsites and full hookups, drive your big rig to an RV resort in Las Cruces, Roswell, or Truth or Consequences instead.

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.

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. We look forward to your stay!

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the&nbsp;Carson National&nbsp;Forest right between the fiery expanse of&nbsp;Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3&nbsp;acres right by the river&nbsp;at the edge of a&nbsp;little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo&nbsp;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-&nbsp;a car can be parked near by.. approx.&nbsp;50ft.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area,&nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch&nbsp;and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away.&nbsp; *No cell service in the greater area.

Best of both worlds, with direct access to trails and also the ability to hop onto the enchanted circle (road next to sites) to explore all the Taos county has to offer. RV/tent spots have running water and electricity/hook-ups, something that is incredibly rare considering the views/forest accessibility. Vast, breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristos mountains to one side and if you follow the national forest trail in our backyard to the top of the hill, beautiful views of the gorge on the other side. Easy access to the midtown market, where you can pick up breakfast burritos, beer, drinks, and limited supplies for camping.

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the&nbsp;Carson National&nbsp;Forest right between the fiery expanse of&nbsp;Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3&nbsp;acres right by the river&nbsp;at the edge of a&nbsp;little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo&nbsp;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-&nbsp;a car can be parked near by.. approx.&nbsp;50ft.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area,&nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch&nbsp;and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away.&nbsp; *No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for&nbsp;WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.
