La Madera, NM · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Lush high desert river oasis on three acres, nestled in a fertile valley in Carson National Forest, right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful, private and serene land right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives.
At the moment we have five options 1) Spacious, cozy, and private Vintage Camper that can be heated, with kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. 2) A Gazebo Tree shaded campsite for tents only, with fire pit, outdoor seating and the tranquil sounds of the gently flowing river in the background. 3) The Riverside Gypsy Wagon with electric, heat and kitchen, 4) The Riverside Campsite for tents, and 5) If you would like to bring your own camper/or tent we have a Willow brush enclosed meadow with stunning views.
You can go on a panoramic ridge hike right off the property, or just relax by the flowing creek, or listen to the bird symphonies. Some campsites have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house, others have private outhouses.
🌿🌿🌿 We offer DOG SITTING so you can relax at the Springs, or PRIVATE MASSAGE here on the land with the senior therapist from Ojo Hot Springs for less $$$ - check out the Extras. 🌿🌿🌿
The land is beautifully wild with lots of animal life. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. If you're pulling your trailer/camper you'll need 4W.
With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and/or a repellent work great.
Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away.
*No cell service in the greater area. Wifi available around the house for calling and texting.

Abiquiu, NM · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging
Nestled in the bosque of the Abiquiu valley, filled with tall, majestic cotton woods and softly fragrant Russian olives. At sunset, the sky opens up to amazing beauty and the swallows begin their nightly swooping over the river.
Very near by are locally owned cafes and historic places to visit. The Abiquiu valley is filled with music, arts, studio tours, spas, hot springs, lake recreation, fishing, hikes, and so so many spectacular things to see and experience. Some nearby highlights include Abiquiu lake, Plaza Blanca and Ghost Ranch, with many hidden gems in between.
Reach out to us if you have any questions about local activities.
We have uniquely remodeled vintage and modern, trailers and an Airstream available to rent in a lush, grassy field .
The field is very open, we have some mature trees and have just planted some new, baby cottonwoods.

This glamp zone occupies only 1.25 acres. Part of our mission in creating this space is to bring folks together. We encourage campers to mingle. Maybe organize a group float down the Chama. The float from just above Bodes to our very own shore is wonderful. It takes about two hours. There is one challenging spot, but beside that, the float is calm and tranquil.

Arroyo Seco, NM · 2 sites
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.

Santa Fe, NM · 2 sites
"Magical" is how guests describe Top of the Trail, and it's easy to see why. High desert, Rocky Mountains, and the Old Santa Fe Trail converge here and evoke images of early caravans. Artifacts left behind by previous travelers tell of journeys taken millennia ago and of a precious connection with the natural world that we seem to have forgotten. On this special piece of land, we have created a Vintage American Caravansary - a place where travelers can feel comforted, healed, and inspired by the natural world. And all just a day's walk to Santa Fe - only 15 minutes if you have a car.

Full moon nights and dark sky star watching is almost taken for granted here. slow wifi available..good if you plan on using a hotspot on your phone. A good time and place to disconnect.

The shasta is super cute and perfect. The RV was clean and very comfy. There’s a little river/ creek near the shasta and you can enjoy the sound of water nearby. This camp is perfect for first time campers who would want to try being outdoors without worrying about setting up tent. I would totally be back here!

1 night at Top of the Trail
David was an incredible host — communicative, accommodating, and genuinely lovely from start to finish.
Rosie herself was a beautiful experience: darling, quaint, clean, and the view was beyond anything I expected. Everything matched the listing. One tip (provided by David) — bring ice if you need to keep anything refrigerated, and store food properly in the fridge, since ants will find a way in! The location is also super close to downtown Santa Fe, and the recommendations in the welcome binder were genuinely useful.
The location was a little tricky to find at first — heads up that the address for driving into the guest driveway is different from the main address (David provides both, so just make sure you’re using the right one). He was quick to help me find my way when I got turned around.
Take his advice and arrive before dark — the driveway has some rocky, dipping terrain that’s much easier to navigate in daylight, and parking is on a slight rocky decline. It’s also easier to find your way to the bathroom and showers if you check in while it’s still light out. There are lights set up in front of the RV, which is great, but it does get very dark and the path to the restrooms is dark (a flashlight is provided).
As a solo female traveler on a long road trip, I felt very safe — that mattered a lot to me.
I loved it so much I ended up staying an extra night.
David, you’re great, and what you’ve built here is something special. Thank you!

Rosie the RV I stayed in was a beautiful experience: darling, spotless, clean, and the view was beyond anything I expected. Everything matched the listing. One tip that is already provided by David — bring ice if you need to keep anything refrigerated. Store your food well, ants will find their way in! The location is also super close to downtown Santa Fe, and the recommendations in the welcome binder were genuinely useful.

We absolutely loved it at Javali! We stayed in the Blue Bird, a darling vintage camper just steps from the river. It had everything that my daughter and I needed for a comfortable stay, plus a wonderful outdoor shower! The view was stunning, especially sunrise. Robin and her wife were so kind, and let us hold the baby goats and chickens, and showed my daughter how to feed the donkeys and the horse. This campground is nestled among cottonwoods, with lots of wildlife...we even saw elk on the other side of the river. Across the road is a lavender farm, with a small cafe. We were a short drive from Ghost Ranch, where we went on a trail ride. Totally recommend to anyone who wants to have a taste of paradise.

I enjoyed my stay at David’s, Rosie very much! The location is an easy short drive from Santa Fe. The directions are clear and simple to follow. Once you pass through the chain, parking is a 1/4 mile down a level dirt road (2 wheel drive is fine). Rosie is a short easy walk from the parking spot. I was greeted upon arrival by a smiling David and his lovely, friendly dogs. Rosie was perfectly adorable and very comfortable. The outdoor shower was a unique enjoyable experience! As a solo female traveler I felt very safe. The accommodations are as describe, even better! I look forward to returning when I visit Santa Fe in the future. Thanks for hosting me David!

It was both beautiful and peaceful. There are lots of birds to see. They had some friendly dogs. There were fantastic views of the stars at night. We would 100% stay there again.

Amazing grounds, Plenty of room. It was just me and my dog and three other people sharing another RV. I had the Bluebird. One stayed for one night because of the smoke from fires coming from Arizona and Colorado. My little puppy just couldn’t catch his breath. Other than the smoke. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.

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.
