Welcome Balloon Fiesta campers! Check out The Vista! A mountainous getaway sitting atop a picturesque ridge with beautiful sunrise views. Nestled in a private, gated spacious neighborhood in the village of Cedar Crest, you will find solace and privacy but also the convenience of heading to Albuquerque with an easy 15 minute drive. Many great local restaurants, a coffee shop, a brewery and grocery store all within 7 minutes. A 30 minute drive will take you to quirky and quaint Madrid, NM, with Santa Fe only another 30 minutes away. Our guests are welcome to used the shared space that encompasses a picnic table, flat pavers for lounging, yoga, or hammock usage, and a firepit area for use when fire bans are not in effect.
A great base camp for hiking, biking, and all the wonders that New Mexico offers.
We are located 1.3 miles back on a dirt road that has some steep sections and can have washboard sections during certain times of the year. During winter times, 4-wheel drive is necessary. We welcome (and LOVE!) dogs, but they must remain on leash and out of respect for our neighbors, are unable to allow disruptive/barking dogs.

Beautiful 2 acre property, green wild grass and alfalfa, surrounded by trees. You wouldn’t realize you’re in the city.
Located at the end of a dead end road. The property borders a local acequia (ditch water way) with quick access to nature walkways, bike paths and the Rio Grand River. Lots of bike and walkways.
2.2 miles to the Balloon Fiesta Park. Excellent location for attending or viewing from the land.

Great place to camp with views in all directions. Beautiful night skies. Lots of exploring near by in all directions. A taste of the Wild West. Also have spots for long term renting. We have 3 acres with 3 sites.

Cassandra was very accommodating for our large group. Beautiful property! We all came for the balloon fiesta- biking distance and great location. We could see the balloons from the campsite on our last day. Would definitely stay again.

Group trip
We actually ended up staying at another one of the owner's locations that was beautiful. We had a big group and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was surrounded by big shade trees and next to a large field of LLamas. It was only about a 15-minute bike ride to the Balloon Fiesta. I would highly recommend this site!

Our experience was awful. We tried to stay for Balloon Fiesta. We arrived at 9pm at night to an overrun grassy field- the field was wet and had been watered that day?! The grass in the field was up to our hips at some points. There was no bathroom on property as listed. And worse of all our 31 foot RV got stuck in the mud! It was completely awful and not as described. No one was around- and the host was unresponsive for 12 hours! Thankfully we were able to pull out at 4am when the ground was hardened from the cool night temps. We then asked for a refund due to the poor conditions and false advertisement and we only received a refund for 1 night. I absolutely do not recommend.

The trash on the way there was offputting, but once we got there, it was beautiful and private and remote. Raw land with scenic view.
