Brad and Ciana welcome you to the Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve, managed by The Wilderness Institute.
The camp was founded 40 years ago as a summer camp for kids. We continue to offer camps for children and their parents and grandparents (family camps), as well as welcome adults and other groups to enjoy the vast and wild high desert nature up on this ridge.
"BE A CAMPER CONSERVATIONIST"!
Register for our nature education activities and resources lead by The Wilderness Institute (available for all of our guests). These topics include sustainability, recycling, composting, water conservation, wildfire prevention, outdoor safety, and nature awareness along with the use of our hiking trails.
You can also join an archery class, tomahawk throwing, climbing on the mobile climbing wall, Yoga, Tai Chi, Climbing Into The Heart of the Mother Tree, Star talks and more! (https://wildernessinstitute.org/outdoor-programs/)
There are beautiful views and access to Shaggy Peak, the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. Wander our land to enjoy various level hiking trails including a 20 minute hike to a creek and waterfall in the forest (some steep spots and creek is intermittent) or climb up Shaggy Peak (seasoned hikers only please).
IMPORTANT: We are up 1.3 miles of dirt road (with 5-7+% grade in a few short stretches) and are not near public transportation so you will need your own vehicle! Be aware that the roads can be snowy, icy or muddy and rutted ( 4-wheel or All-trak recommended in certain times of year). We don’t guarantee the road will be plowed.
We generally close for the season due to cold weather around Halloween and reopen just before Memorial Day.
This is a non-smoking, no candle facility.

We have very good well water. Drinking water filtration is through Waterdrop Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System G3P600: pre-RO carbon and particulate filter, then RO, then post-RO carbon filter, then UV sterilization, then remineralization… you get the safest water that “tastes” great! Conserve drinking water by using direct well water for other purposes — also safe, but does not use up the filtering and conditioning resources.

3 nights at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve
We loved this property and would absolutely stay here again. Ciana and Brad are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We were interested in taking a survival course that didn’t appear available to book while we were there and Brad was able to meet with us for 2 hours and share his amazing wealth of knowledge with us. Ciana was very kind and attentive, checking in to see that we were comfortable in the tent. The property overall was relaxing and peaceful and the kitchen met our needs perfectly. And we loved watching all the humming birds!

Weekend Trip to El Campo Glamping LLC
We loved glamping with El Campo. The Safari tent was so beautiful—with everything you could need and more. Great porch and rockers to sit with a drink and watch hummingbirds, deer, sunset and even the rain. A hot shower was especially welcome after a sandy day at White Sands. What was perhaps unexpected was just how welcome the extra blankets, warm bed, and study tent were during an especially intense thunderstorm. The site was secluded and just what we were hoping for.—definitely set the bar high! Thanks for a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve
My daughter and I were in need of a much-needed getaway, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
The grounds were well-maintained, peaceful, and quiet. The other campers were also very friendly, which added to the relaxing atmosphere. One of my favorite parts of the trip was waking up early, enjoying a cup of coffee, and watching the sunrise.
We stayed in Tent 16, which was spacious and comfortable. I especially appreciated how close the restrooms and showers were to our site. This was the first campsite where I didn't hesitate to leave the tent in the middle of the night to use the restroom.
As two women traveling alone, feeling safe is very important to us, and we felt completely comfortable and secure throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning.

My 2 boys, 9 & 11, and I stayed here for 3 nights and it far exceeded expectations. Comfy beds, amazing sound of river rushing nearby, clean communal restrooms and showers. The beds even have heated mattress covers if it gets a little chilly at night. Amazing experience and can’t wait to come back.

The trip was amazing. The staff was very accommodating and it was very nice to connect to nature and still have simple things like a shower and a bathroom. The Star Walk was extra fun!

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.
