This is a rural countryside property located east of Ruidoso, New Mexico, along US Highway 70 at approximately 6,000 feet elevation. The setting is open and quiet, designed for guests seeking space, fresh air, and a non-city environment.
The property is gated and elk-fenced, allowing free-range chickens to roam while keeping larger predators out. A friendly working pack of four female Australian Kelpie mix dogs also roam the property. Night skies are exceptionally dark with minimal light interference, making stargazing a highlight.
The north boundary adjoins the Lincoln National Forest, providing direct access for hiking and mountain biking, including e-bikes. No motorized vehicles are permitted in the forest. Additional walking and biking trails are located within the fenced property.
There are six rentals on the property, and the host lives on-site. Four rentals are glamping-style accommodations, and two are residential homes, including the uniquely styled Hippie HiltInn. The property is nearly half a mile deep, allowing space and separation between rentals.
A large gazebo on a hill offers panoramic views of the Ruidoso Valley and night skies. Because the property fronts US Highway 70, some traffic noise may be present at times; sound levels vary depending on rental location.
Amenities include a free 18-hole pasture golf course with clubs and balls provided, walking and biking trails, and access to extensive National Forest trail systems. Campfires are allowed at designated fire rings at each rental except during county burn bans or red-flag conditions. Each rental includes a BBQ grill, and a shared cabana offers a propane BBQ, propane flat grill, and large charcoal grill.
An outdoor shared restroom with a cold-water sink and toilet is available for added convenience. Hammocks are provided at all glamping rentals, and water features are located throughout the property.

2 nights at El Campo Glamping LLC
We had a great stay at El Campo Glamping. The yurt is huge and very cozy with a heater, table and chairs, coffee, games, and lots of extra blankets. There’s also a BBQ, cooler, and three really nice outdoor seating areas to enjoy the space. The bathroom next door has a toilet, shower, and running water which made the stay very comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond and helpful.
Tip: I wouldn’t recommend arriving after dark — it’s much easier to find and settle in during daylight.

This place exceeded my expectations! It was such a neat place to stay, very cut, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. What I loved the most is that the whole building and every room felt like a piece of art. From the wall trims and grout choice to the pieces hanging on the wall. Every single detail seemed carefully curated so that it felt as if I was staying in a work of art. 10/10

A great stay at this little cabin. Our third time staying at Karen's place. Her communication is excellent and the cabin has all the little amenities needed. We love having the fenced in backyard for our 2 small dogs. Location is also great being walkable to shops and restaurants. Saw lots of elk this visit meandering through the neighborhood. Great place.

Weekend Trip to El Mistico
Crows nest tree house was so much fun. You can tell they thought out its design & ammenities well. We really enjoyed the view, cooking out on the grill & enjoying the beautiful weather. The ranch is also full of walking trails & they provide you carts with wheels at the parking area, which was very helpful.

Came here after visiting White Sands National Park. Incredible doesn’t describe it enough. 100/10 hands down coolest place we’ve ever stayed. We came with our two kids and pup and stayed in the Crow’s Nest. We played rock checkers, the coolest small playground, the slide off our top deck to the private hang out spot under our treehouse. The sunrise breakfast over the mountains, all amenities needed, so comfortable. The vhs tv was a hit with out kids (we got to show them how rewinding used to be done). I literally cannot say enough great things. So clean so cozy, just perfect!

Crow's Nest was amazing! My kids LOVED the slide and outdoor living area. Visits from Chester the St. Bernard we're another highlight! Views from the deck and beautiful surroundings with a touch of whimsy made it perfect. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
