Weekend Trip to High Desert Magic

This was such a magical place. Beautiful landscape and thoughtfully setup for campers. We arrived later than expected but the host was flexible with our arrival time. We didn't have any trouble finding it. We got there after dark and I was gobsmacked by the night sky. We saw some meteor showers too! The space has stone-lined pathways with little solar lights, seating, a table, and a fire pit. We were comfortable tent-camping in mid-December with our extra blankets. Our dogs were especially happy to be able to have some time off-leash and we were treated to the most beautiful sunrise in the morning. The host also showed me how to use their freeze-proof spigot and we were so grateful to be able to refill our water jug before heading out.

I loved tent camping on Jennifer's land, the directions were super easy to understand and she was a very kind host (sorry again for scaring you lol)! Site one was soo beautiful and we were so grateful to get to spend the night in such a wonderful part of NM. We would stay here again and would recommend if you are in the area to check it out.
