Horner Hipcamp

15 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Radium Springs, NM

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!

Little Walnut Haven

1 site · RV6 acres · Silver City, NM

Ten minutes from Silver's historic downtown, fifteen minutes to Walmart, and once you get here you're in a world of your own.. Your off-the-beaten-track concrete pad (18' x 23', so best for vans and class B RVs) is on a dead end off a dead end, and far enough from me to give you complete privacy. (It's a short distance from the house front, but as I use a second driveway that goes to the back you won't see very much of me.) I'm on six acres of land with trees all around the pad, and you're five minutes away from the Gila National Forest, with Gomez Peak visible from your secluded one space, one vehicle site. It's dark and quiet at night, with just enough dogs barking to remind you you're in New Mexico. I have earplugs if you don't. That's about it. This is a new venture for me and I'm happy to listen to any suggestions you might have that would make your stay even more enjoyable. Welcome! And a P.S. I hope I can take away soon: There's a road construction project underway on Little Walnut Road, the way to the house. You may experience a brief delay or a short detour as you go up or down.
