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. We have a screened in gazebo with a propane fireplace, a gas BBQ, outdoor shower, kayaks and hammocks for all to enjoy. Please do not be shy. Introduce yourself to the other campers. Share stories, make s’mores. Sing songs!! Our yoga, meditation and meeting space is now open. If you are interested in booking this space for private use, please contact us to tell us what you are planning. We, live onsite at the edge of the resort area. Please respect our neighbors by remaining within the "Glamp Zone" 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. Please be aware, we have cats, chickens, goats, donkeys, horses and dogs that live on the property. Your pets are welcome only if they are guaranteed to not pester or hurt our posse of pets. Also, we will not tolerate excessive barking or inappropriate running around or bothering ourselves or other guests. You must pick up all your and your pets waste and take it with you when you leave.

3. the LAND

32mi from Cuba · 1 site · Tent, RV

Welcome to the LAND — 43 private acres of high desert magic nestled at the base of Cerro Pedernal, where canyons cradle the sky and Polvadera Creek flows year-round, drawing beavers, birds, and the occasional awe-struck traveler. This is a place for those seeking the essence of the wild, with just enough comfort to stay awhile. With a one-of-a-kind view of Georgia O’Keeffe’s mountain muse in front of you and the ancient Tsi’pin village site to your left, this sacred land echoes with both artistic legacy and ancestral presence. Camp beside the creek beneath cottonwoods and piñon. Gaze into a night sky free from all light pollution — a dome of stars unlike anywhere else. Walk quiet roads through ancient canyon paths. Listen to the hush. Here, the stillness speaks. While rustic and off-grid in spirit, the LAND offers: • Private, creekside tent sites with canyon views • Fast Wi-Fi if you need it — or want to forget it • A hot shower under open skies • Peaceful access roads for all vehicles • Easy wildlife spotting (beavers, deer, birds of prey) • Nearby hikes, labyrinth walks, and sacred stone outcroppings • 30 minutes from Abiquiú • 2 hours from Santa Fe Whether you're journaling by the creek, meditating at sunrise, or watching the Milky Way unfurl above your tent, this is a place to remember what matters. Come camp at the LAND. Stay for the peace. Return for the stars.

Warm breezes and water fun are waiting for you at Abiquiu Lake. With some of the best fishing in New Mexico you’ll have a blast exploring the shores dotted with sage and juniper while you cast your line. Those who want a little leisure can stroll the trails or catch some rays on the swimming beach; there are gorgeous views of the Flint Mountains from the shores.

Very cute little place. Nice private location, but easy to find. Pat is very kind. There were a few things in the Silo that didn't work upon arrival. Pat brought in the maintenance man, but was unable to fix them during our stay. Thanks for putting in the effort. The bed is very firm but we found it very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and linens situation. Porches are really nice for enjoying the views. We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Casa de KAMA (The Silo)

Pat was responsive to all our questions before and during our stay, and we appreciated her flexibility. Our concern about a gas smell turned out to be an unlit pilot light on the stove, and that was easily remedied. We also wondered if a silo would be drafty--but it wasn't. We were there in early October, and the view of the surrounding Chama River Valley was beautiful. We loved the Silo and would stay there again!

Commemorating "enchantment" at Casa Kama

2 nights at Casa de KAMA (The Silo)

I took my 8 year old grandson (at his request) to visit my birthplace of NM and show him things I had told him about from my own childhood. I had only 4 real days to be able to give him a glimpse, but it was enough for him to ask to return again. One of the first questions he asked was what "enchanted" meant when he kept reading it on signs. Words are not useful when trying to paint what that means, but after 2 full days at Casa Kama, he said "now I get it." We chose the silo because it looked remote and yet not intimidating for a first kid visit. What transpired for both of us was a punctuation of the beauty and quiet grandeur of not only New Mexico's land, but the warmth of the people who reside in respect to the earth and one another. Sometimes it is "risky" to book on line, but in this case, it was truly magical. There are enough photos on the website to show what this is physically, but what I can say is that there is a deeper, more soulful elegance and comfort to sitting in the morning listening to the birds, and ending the day with the sky illuminated with stars and meteor shows (it was Perseid time), and hearing distant coyotes in the nightime. Pat is a gracious and generous host who met us as we arrived and advised us of the last hour of the farm market in Abiquiu which we promptly went to find. Again, the beauty of the people, the bounty from the farms and skilled hands was so refreshing. This is a gift for one to be able to visit here.

Weekend Trip to Casa de KAMA (The Silo)

This was such a cool and unique stay! It was such a perfect place to reconnect to the land and getaway from the city. My boyfriend and I stayed here and it was such a great place to watch the sunset, take in the views of the land, cook dinner together, and explore what Abiquiu has to offer. This Silo was not only really cool but it also came with everything you needed to make this trip memorable. I would definitely come here again!

Weekend Trip to Casa de KAMA (The Silo)

A thoughtfully designed, comfortable space with everything you need. Extremely comfy bed, lovely native plant landscaping, stocked kitchen, fabulous shower, expansive views and fresh breezes, night skies and coyote calls, proximity to excellent pizza. Thanks, Pat, for making such great use of the place and space! Couldn't ask for base camp to romp around the area - of course Ghost Ranch is nearby but the Casa is also spitting distance to Plaza Blanca, Poshuouinge, the amphitheater, the reservoir, the arch, sport climbing, Carson access...

The stars at night were what shined brightest about this location for me and my wife. The surroundings were great for walking our dogs and going for quick hikes. We spent some time at Ojo Caliente mineral spring and spa which was amazing. Lastly the silo was a perfect home away from home. It offers everything you may need plus more. We hope to return soon and we would highly recommend a trip to visit here.
