Weekend Trip to Dragonfly Mountain Ranch

We loved camping with our campervan at Don’s land. It is the best stocked hip camp we have been to! It’s also beautiful, peaceful and with amazing views. Don and his family were kind, communicative and welcoming. They also have great tips for things to visit. We will definitely recommend this Hipcamp to anybody visiting Taos and it’s surroundings.

Don was a great host and was a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history. A quiet and beautiful spot

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

Amazing views, breathtaking sunsets and stargazing. Chilly outside, but the yurt was fairly well-insulated and there was a wood stove inside (complete with all fire-starting equipment), a large propane heater and plenty of high-quality blankets; you will not be cold, despite it’s spaciousness! There was a kitchen area, handwashing station and small backpacking stove for cooking. We also enjoyed her thoughtful selection of books. The outdoor shower area was unavailable for use at that time, but we didn’t miss it. The composting toilet was completely enclosed for privacy. Every area of this glamping experience has been pragmatically considered, not only for utility but also aesthetic design. We felt very safe there. You can tell how much reverence Kate has for her land and we are thankful for the beautiful experience.

Yurt was lovely, private and quiet! Kate is very attentive, easy to reach, and helpful! A great place to get away and find some peace.

literally on the mesa top, secluded, quiet, amazing views

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

What a special place! From Kate’s warm greeting and yurt orientation, to the beautiful views, to the amazing decor in the yurt, this trip was exactly what i needed for a weekend of solitude. It was cold (in the 20s at night) and the stove and amazing blankets kept me cozy. I can’t wait to come back - and even booked my next trip here already! Thank you to Kate for opening up your place to visitors!

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

I loved this place so much! My girlfriend and I made a pit stop here on a cross country road trip to stargaze and it was AMAZING! so beautiful and Kate was very helpful with all of our needs! It’s so quiet and peaceful at night. You can see the Milky Way Galaxy and many different constellations.

I was in awe of the views from Kate's place. The yurt is super cozy and private, hidden in the junipers. All the details were as listed and Kate was really helpful pointing out sites to see on our hikes. This is a great home base when exploring Abiquiu.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Mesa Camp

It’s was in a perfect spot. It was quiet and beautiful. Very serene.

Weekend Trip to Dragonfly Mountain Ranch

I highly recommend this option. The view is indescribable; the vastness of the valley and the juxtaposition of the 14r mountains all around you. The host was a gentlemen with local stories of the surrounding areas; a testament to his family owning the land for the last 100 years. Ample amounts of daily firewood and potable water. The cleanest porta potty this side of the Mississippi. This is the location you must reserve.

1 night at San Pablo Ranch

I had a short but wonderful stay. What a beautiful spot! Thank you for sharing your little slice of the world!

Don's site was just want we wanted; nice and secluded, private, plenty of space, and a great location. We would definitely stay there again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Mystical & Enchanted Desert Escape

Picturesque location and friendly host. Nice cooking facilities and bathrooms.

Weekend Trip to Enchanted Circle Campground (E<<)

I camped there back in August with my grandson and it was awesome! 6 weeks ago I felt like the Lord was calling me away by myself to the exact same spot. I arrived around 1:00 pm on Saturday and left Tuesday morning around 2:00 a.m. Landon was gracious and letting me come early. And I really appreciated that. This was a sabbatical for me and the Lord did not disappoint. There were questions that were answered and there were answers for questions that I wasn't asking. It was a very special time. Very private, there was one camper there when I got there Saturday and he was gone on Sunday I had the whole place to myself. Very quiet very peaceful, it is my place of Peace for sure. I will be back! Five stars all the way I love the fact that it is so far off the main road.

Enchanted Circle Campground (E<<)

13 sites · RVs, Tents161 acres · Angel Fire, NM

The Enchanted Circle Campground sits on the Avalon Ranch. It is 161 owned acres surrounded by a state trust lease. We are very proud to have been voted #1 Campground in NM 4 years in a row and ranked Top 5 by Forbes in the country. We have 8 Sites to choose from. (No large RVs at 4, 7 or 8) Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Free potable water is available as well as a portable toilet. For cooking, you will have a fire pit, with a cast iron grill. Every site (but 7) has a standing charcoal grill, with tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. A fire extinguisher and a shovel. We hang a hand washing jug at every site for your convenience, with potable water, but do not suggest this for drinking water source. The property was originally homesteaded in 1893. It was also the first potato farm in NM. It has seven ground-fed springs that run year-round and is officially the Coyote Creeks Headwaters. The springs converge after filling 4 of our ponds in the marshland where the potatoes were grown. A family of 4 lived in the first dwelling built here, not much larger than a shed. Since that time, 2 homes, 1 of which still stands, a barn, a smokehouse, and 4 other outbuildings were constructed. There are old wagons and farm equipment from the late 1800s and early 1900's still strewn about the ranch. We are home to Huge herds of Elk, mule deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, eagles, black bears, 9 horses, chickens, pigs, goats, our 2 dogs and 4 cats, and the occasional Mountain Lion. We live here year-round. We love our land and want to share it with others. I am a Veteran and our intent is to eventually have a Veterans Retreat facility here. Not a retreat itself, but rather a location for all of the retreats, nationwide, to be able to utilize, so they can use the funds they have to do what they do best. You are helping to make that possible. We do pride ourselves on minimally impacting our land. We strive to keep it clean and as close to nature as we can. And as always, Veterans, LEOs, and Fire Fighters are always free for one night up to 4 guests. Just book your reservation, and show us your ID during your stay, and we will reimburse you for your last night with us.

River Sanctuary by Ojo Hot Springs

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · La Madera, NM

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the Carson National Forest right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3 acres right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives. Right by the river, held by a ridge (that makes for amazing sunset hikes), I have a 16ft Yurt Canvas set up with furnishings (desk, couch, wash stand) and a wooden Queen Bed with down bedding. This site can only be reached by foot across the river via stumps- a car can be parked near by.. approx. 50ft. I also have a Vintage Camper that can be heated, has a kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. As well as a monastic and very grounding Ensuite Bedroom, or a simple campsite if you want to bring your own camper or tent. All facilities have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house. I offer dog sitting while you soak at Ojo, healing modalities that you'll find in the Extras section, and my dear neighbor Jackie takes appointments for massages with homemade essential oils. +++ 6 miles to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area, with locally/organically farmed produce. The land is naturally and beautifully wild- it is not a manicured campsite. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August only. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and a repellent work great. Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away. *No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.
