New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others. Located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Property is rustic now, but improvements will continue to be made as time goes on. Come help me develop this beautiful location into the best Hipcamp in New Mexico. Just 14 miles of the Chile Capital of the World, Hatch, NM, come during chile harvest to take home fresh green chile right out of the field. 21 miles from Las Cruces, where you will find plenty of events and entertainment, should you so desire. Spaceport, America, T or C, White Sands are all within a day's drive, and Fort Selden is just a few miles down the road, as is Blue Moon Bar and Grill. My dad first came to this property as a farm hand for the elderly couple who owned it. This was in the 1930's. He met my mother, who lived 6 miles down the road, in 1939. She was just 14. Every Sunday he would ride those 6 miles to have supper with her and her family and in 1940, 2 weeks after her 16th birthday, they married. They traveled around before coming back here, buying a small portion of this farm from the elderly owners and farming the rest for them, but in 1953, the man died (his name was Ernest Ward) in the small concrete house I now use for storage, that my dad had built for he and his wife when he first came to work for them. My parents built a home for his widow in Hatch (14 miles) and bought the farm from her. My family has owned it since. I was gone for 31 years, but returned to the land and place I love and plan to stay here till I die!

City of Rocks State Park is your self proclaimed “sponsor of adventure” and we agree! The entire park clocks in at just one square mile, but what’s inside this tiny little park is huge fun. The park is filled with pinnacles, or giant rock formations, that were formed after a volcanic eruption 34.9 million years ago. Today, these rad, red rocks tower over while you hike or bike through the grid like maze at their base. The park also offers a stunning botanical garden, stargazing, and views of the local wildlife. Be sure to stop by the brand new visitors center and get the best tips from the rangers before setting up camp in their comfy campgrounds. Silver City and Deming are close by for access to more fun. A little park that packs a big punch, we’re sure you’ll be mayor of this city in no time!

1 night at One Particular Harbour

Lawrence & Dina’s Campsite was great. Open space and the amenities were just what we expected. We got there late and left really early but it was wonderful experience. I and my sons watched the stars and I saw two shooting stars. Would definitely recommend camping there. Bathroom was clean and readily accessible from all site. Thanks again Lawrence & Dina.

Lawrence & Dina couldn't be better hosts and have a perfect place to stay. Our site had a picnic table under a tree which was perfect for our morning coffee. We got in too late to see the sunset but loved the sunrise. Beware of choosing the "open directions in app" option. Twice it took us the wrong way. Third time was a charm (and verified using the address). If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stay there again. Also, if you are heading east in the morning and you like old school yet quirky diners, you have to try The Pit on 292 Cafe just outside Los Cruces for breakfast. Great food and character. A fun way to start your journey.

My second time in as many weeks staying here. Can't put my finger on it, I'll just go with the New Mexico slogan "Land of Enchantment". It's so easy in and out. Lawrence and Dina are great hosts! Still loved the sunset, myriad stars at night and awesome north to south first light and daybreak. As I said in my last stay, if I was just in the vicinity, I would go out of my way to stay here.

Absolutely delightful spot. Away from the traffic, noise and congestion. Gorgeous sunset followed be a myriad of stars us city folk wish we could view every night. Get up early and watch first light, awesome. Also loved the rustic homestead atmosphere. Wonderful host, too! With a personal greeting and orientation. If you're going near this location, check it out.

Carolyn went above and beyond for us. We booked a last minute spot due to some really bad weather. The land is so beautiful and her vision for what’s to come is exciting. The space was level which I’m so thankful for after a bad night elsewhere. Unfortunately the river was low but that is out of her control as the damn has to be opened. If we ever pass through this part of the country again we will for sure be back for longer than a night.

Lawrence and Dina met us at the entrance to their property and were very welcoming. We stayed one night. There are 2 spots with electric and water hookup. It was quiet with limited road noise. It is a dirt lot so when the wind kicks up the dirt goes everywhere, something to keep in mind. We would stay again.

A beautiful place to stay right on the Rio Grande. If you want to see water in the river, go after May 1st as that's when they open up the dam. It was still a beautiful spot, and we can't wait to come back to see all the things Carolyn has planned for her little piece of heaven.

I stayed over a week and enjoyed being visited by the local chicken gang every morning! Raven (camp host) was very friendly and welcoming. The price was very affordable for full hook ups! I’d stay here again!

Carolyn’s land is a peaceful spot right on the Rio Grande. The view across the river is stunning. I enjoyed having a picnic table and spigot. The icing on the cake was host Carolyn. She popped over shortly after I arrived, touched base to let me know of another camper who’d be showing up, helped me out when I got myself into a pickle - and even waved good bye. Her home is across the road - plenty far away for privacy, yet close enough if you happen to need something. I was there during a dry, windy March time. Definitely check out the slot canyon hike down the road. Also an easy spot if you have pups along.

Carolyn is a delightful host! The property is a work in progress, but even with that my stay was wonderful. I parked next to the river with a view of the hills on the other side. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful and the night was very peaceful. Next time I’m in the Las Cruces area. I plan on staying at the same place again.
