Pitch your tent or park your camper beneath the dark starlit skies in awe inspiring high desert New Mexico.
This is why they call New Mexico the land of enchantment. This property features a fully fenced 19 acres with rolling terrain surround by cedar, juniper and piñon pine trees.
It is approx 3 miles of gravel and dirt roads heading north off of HWY 60 so if riding a bicycle a low vehicle or riding a motorcycle be aware that there are sometimes washboards and during monsoon season roads do get muddy.
There is magnificent south facing views where you can see for miles and at night the stars seem to touch the ground. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular with an array of colors that will take a persons breath away. This is a place to unwind from the busy hustle and bustle. You can listen to coyotes howling, owls hooting, and other birds and animals instead of city noise.
We own horses and can even take you on a trail ride.

My 14-acre property is located in the scenic Magdalena Mountains of New Mexico, offering mountain views, dark skies, and incredible stargazing opportunities.
It is conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from the Very Large Array, a famous radio astronomy observatory featuring 27 massive dish antennas. I live on the property and will be around to help with any questions.
There are also many interesting side trips to explore in the area, including a visit to San Lorenzo Canyon.
This beautiful location is known for its sculpted sandstone formations, slot canyons, and caves.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful night's rest, a quiet evening in Magdalena Village, or a unique experience that only New Mexico can provide, this is the perfect place for you.

Welcome to Van Haven! A van-life friendly oasis to rest and recharge. Bring your own campervan or tent - or use ours! We are former van dwellers now off-grid homesteading on 30 acres. Ten minutes of single-lane washboard dirt roads lead you to our property at 7600 feet overlooking the mountain valley. We offer 3 kinds of gigantic secluded pristine sites: A tiny glamping shuttle bus cabin, A few car/suv/campervan spots, & several remote hike/bike in dispersed camping options. We only list 3 sites, but have half a dozen more if you want to pick your own spot.
With any choice, you can enjoy a network of bike / waking trails in untouched mature forest, several unique mountain vistas, outdoor shower and toilet, extra optional amenities, active wildlife, and unmatched peacefulness and quiet. We have tools, power, and know-how for rig build / upgrades. We have water to ration as well as firewood. Your van, small camper, shuttle bus or SUV are welcome here.
Our home is only slightly visible from 2 sites and not at all from the others so you can choose how secluded you'd like to be. We can be social hosts, or leave you completely undisturbed as if on your own property. Quiet hours after 9pm either way.
Access to Toilet, outdoor heated shower, small gas burner or wood-fired grill are included with any confirmed reservation.
Pets are welcomed here but should not roam without supervision because we do have coyotes and pets can get lost.

This property was obtained around 60+ years ago via the Homestead Act by a family who we have become very close friends with. Over the last 60 years it's only been used sparingly as grazing land for cattle. Since we've obtained the land we've been focused on learning it's history from those who have been here the longest while also being proud BIPOC owners of land in this area. We've also connected with the original people's of this land who were here during the time the land was colonized. We've found ceremonial and everyday pottery, crystals, and underground caves throughout the surrounding properties which we own.
Over the last 2 years we've learned about the Redwoods that have been wiped out of the area and that the mountain is eroding quickly. It has become our mission to plant indigenous plants and trees that are extinct from the area, reviving the plant like, reviving the mountain and doing what we can to encourage the water table to rise! Our plans for the 12 acres the campground occupies is to add an outdoor shower that can be used all year, installing solar powered water heaters & bathrooms as well as establishing a community meeting space and a greenhouse where we can host gardening classes and provide fresh fruits and veggies in this food desert! This land is sacred and we intend to continue treating it as such!
