IMPORTANT: We are up 1.3 miles of dirt road (with 5-7+% grade in a few short stretches) and are not near public transportation so you will need your own vehicle!

Ultimate peace and privacy. Nestled in juniper-wooded hills with sweeping views. Close to Albuquerque (20 minutes) and Santa Fe (40 minutes) but feels like a secluded retreat. Most people have no problem finding my place by entering my address in their GPS. However, I have had 2 HipCampers report their GPS directed them to a road called Camino de las Brisas or Las Brisas Loop. Turning here will lead you to a steep, dangerous road where it will be very difficult to turn around if you're in an RV and impossible with a trailer. Continue on Camino de Las Huertas to Senda Osa Vieja. It's marked with a street sign, a stone monument with brass plate. There's also a blue "private road" sign with a dragon. This land was purchased in 1956 by my archeologist parents because of the ancient pueblo site (dating from 1000 A.D.) and pit house sites (dating from 800 A.D.) Until the mega drought seriously impacted the land, a stream ran through it year round. Now it is only intermittent. Across the valley from this property, and within view of the campsite, is the site of a Spanish Colonial village, San Jose de las Huertas. It dates from the 1700s and is now owned by the Archeological Conservancy. This area is rich in history both Native American and Spanish. Learn more about this land: Located in the high desert 20 minutes from Albuquerque and 40 minutes from Santa Fe. Views of Sandia mountains, and near historic archeological sites. Within a 10 minute drive are popular mountain biking trails. Petroglyphs are a 20 minute, moderately strenuous hike from property. Very peaceful, quiet and safe. Read all the Rules and Safety info before booking so you understand exactly what facilities are and are not available, particularly if you in an RV or trailer.

This charming land has been in the family since my husband was a young boy. The Indian ruins and artifacts fascinated him then and he is still happy to share this history with whoever shows an interest. With all the improvements made by his father and family through the years, you will also learn to have a love for the history and beauty here on this unique 30-acre treasure. You can explore Native American ruins that were inhabited by some 2,000 people between 700-1100 AD. The grounds are wonderful to walk with a little lake which draws elk, deer, hawks, blue herons, etc. Easy to access just 3 minutes off I-25. We are 5 minutes away from the Pecos Natl Monument and 15 minutes away from the Pecos River with plenty of great fishing spots ;Visit Santa Fe (20-minute drive) or Las Vegas (30-minute drive) with dozens of restaurants, museums, art galleries, etc. We look forward to your stay!

Sweet Melody Farm combines our love of music, horses and beautiful spacious landscape of New Mexico. We traveled from Oregon to Pennsylvania and then to New Mexico traveling with our horses and cats.

Vacant desert landscape lot with a trail cut into the natural vegetation. Can host up to 3 vehicles or two campers. Nothing much here but a place to get away for the night and still be close to the city. You will need 4x4 to comfortably make it to this site!! Not all of us have a weekend free but we might be able to get away for the night and a breakfast before having to return to soccer games or meetings. This is also a great spot to get out and try out new gear without exposing yourself to a long difficult haul only to find out you forgot the propane or the shovel. Take the 5 minute drive from civilization and find yourself far enough away to breathe easier. Cross the dry, sandy, river bed and you’re almost there. Feel free to stay a night or two whenever you like.

Victoria has thought of every convenience to make your stay lovely. It was my first time towing a 33 foot living quarter horse trailer and I had no problem whatsoever. The turn out for the horses are unbelievable and my horses thoroughly enjoyed running around and stretching their legs after a long trailer ride. Highly recommend.

Welcomed near the Ranch gate by host, Victoria, who was very friendly, helpful and informative. The site was level, spacious with great hookups. The ranch is beautiful, very clean and organized. My nature companion dog, Benito had 2 nights of good sleep and much needed respite from long travel. I highly recommend this wonderful site that is far enough off the freeway (but not too far) with awesome views of the surrounding landscape!

What a beautiful spot to rest for the night. Quiet and clean. Hosts gave us the place all to ourselves. Just a note, it is tight getting into and out of this spot. We were 31ft TT and King Cab truck. It was a nail biter to back in and easier to pull out. If you are this size or smaller it is doable. There were two of us - TT travelling together. If it was just one of us, we would have had a much easier time. I definitely think this is a great place to stay.

Parking was a bit tricky because there was a bus and two cars in the yard. I have a 30ft Class C and had to reverse like Austin Powers in order to maneuver into the open spot (Site #1). I used a RV surge protector and the panel has an open ground warning. I took a chance and used the 30amp power and, luckily, had no issues. Luke provided trash and recycle bins. The recycle bin was small and full during my stay. It might be beneficial to get a larger bin because the wind would blow the recyclables around the yard. I enjoyed seeing the wild peafowls around the neighborhood. One day I got a visit from a peahen and she hung out around my RV for a bit. The location is close to a highway entrance which made driving around town quick and easy. Luke was very accommodating when I needed some assistance with my stay. Besides the small minor issues, I had a fantastic time. I traveled solo and felt safe and secure. If I relocated to Albuquerque, I would reach out to Luke about an extended stay in a heartbeat
