If you're looking for a quick stay while passing through Albuquerque, I have a spot for you! I'm in the process of putting back together and repairing a small house, and in the meantime, it makes for great indoor camping. There’s no shower, but the toilet and hot water work.
It’s pretty bare-bones — that’s why I call it camping — but there’s a bed, a table, and some chairs. Pets are okay too! I’m about 3 miles from Old Town.

Indulge in captivating sunrises and enchanting sunsets at your own private campsite. Nestled atop a ridgeline, this oasis is a mere 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and 10 minutes from the village of El Dorado,
Our secluded campspot in the heart of the high desert is a fantastic basecamp for all your outdoor adventures. World-class mountain biking, epic rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, and hikes for all levels are all within an hour's drive or less. Or choose to stay close and hike the trails on "our land."
Your lodging experience includes an enclosed shelter with windows/sliding door, a cozy bed, solar power for lighting and charging phones, a propane camp stove, and an outhouse equipped with a composting toilet. A one lb Coleman propane bottle is available for $18. Otherwise, you are welcome to bring your own. Please only cook outside.
Please read the following details carefully:
This site requires a hike. No vehicles are permitted beyond the cattle gate.
Potable water is available upon request, but we prefer that you BYO. Since I have to hike it out there, you must let me know what you need at the time of your booking.
This is a primitive shelter. There is no running water nor electricity (aside from a solar light). The solar will charge your phone, so bring your cord!
It's just like camping but with walls and a roof over your head - and the benefit of having no other campers around. You might see an occasional hiker with their dog. If you have a dog, take note. This site is completely fenced in so that your fur baby can safely roam.
There is no heating or cooling. The desert can get cold at night. With enough notice, a portable propane heater can be provided for an additional charge.
Hipcampers are kindly asked to park just outside our gate and embark on a picturesque 3/4 mile hike back to the shelter. The flat hike offers scenic views and adds to the adventure of your stay. PLEASE clean up after your pup.

Felt safe and secluded, were a few hiccups of camping that host was very helpful with. Dog loved it! Unfortunately it was about all the hike my 12 year old shepherd could take! Kinda rough trail, very rough road, minimal to no markers.

Quite a delightful secluded spot in the woods. I loved sitting on the porch watching the birds. Has all the benefits of being outdoors in nature but with the comforts of a real bed, sofa, and kitchen supplies. Linda has thought of everything. I highly recommend.
And loads of really great hikes within 15mins drive.

Cool New Mexico style home under renovation. The appliances work well - toilet, refrigerator, etc. But no shower (as stated in the listing). The swamp cooler was not working when we were there, but even during the summer heat it really didn’t get very hot in the house itself. We were happy with our stay!

This was our third stay at Santa Fe Treehouse. It always feels like a home away from home. Ciana and Brad are exceptionally kind and welcoming hosts.
In the past, we stayed in Pegasus treehouses (which are also great!), but decided to try out the Mustang Bunkhouse this time. I wish we could have stayed a week instead of only a night. We loved the screened porch, having a full sized fridge to empty our cooler into, and being in close proximity to the communal kitchen. The cabin is so lovingly decorated—it’s really a special place. We will definitely be back for a longer.

This place is exactly what I needed. Convenient, spacious, clean, simple. Do I need to say anymore.
Yes the bathroom needed some work and yes there wasn't laundry services or showers but let's be honest. You didn't pay for them. This place was an absolute steal. I loved staying here and highly recommend it.

Tara is responsive, down-to-earth, & easy-going. Description of her “campsite” is accurate. “Indoor Camping” is very fitting, and it was a neat experience that we’d recommend. Most things are under construction, so it’s still rustic and gritty, in a unique way. If your expectations are set accordingly, this place is a great 1-2 night stay. Thanks, Tara!

This place is absolutely beautiful. The cabins and general facilities are in excellent shape and have everything you could possibly need. This was our first “camping” trip with our baby and it was perfect. There is a couple of nice hikes walking distance. I would highly recommend this place, it feels like a hidden gem.

My husband and I stayed at Tara's place for 1 night while visiting ABQ. The house was easy to find and she made checking in simple. The neighbor is safe and quiet, which we really appreciated.
The living room / bedroom area is very cute and comfortable. Tara supplies a floor fan and several extra blankets. The kitchen and bathroom are pretty rough though, which I expected from when I initially booked, but it was still a little spooky. Kinda feels like you're in an old cabin in the woods even though you're in the middle of ABQ lol
For the price, you definitely can't beat having a comfy bed for a night at Tara's place :)

Gave me a perfect spot for my dog to stretch his legs and not have to bother with setting up tent after my 11hr journey from TX. Peaceful and away from people and everything noisy so was able to pass out successfully at like 6pm and slept a solid 11hr then waited patiently for the beautiful sunrise. Was greeted by a rather large coyote (bigger than my Pitt Bull) on the way out which startled all of us I think. But it was in the wee hours of morning so he was still hunting from the night before. My dog is a solid 86lbs so we’re both a pretty large obstacle for the lone coyote. However if you have a smaller dog and are timid at all you need to keep in mind that you are in the WILD out there so it’s up to you to figure it out if you encounter wilderness in your face like that.
