Nice host. The morning coffee was a welcome offer. This is a convenient spot in town. The setting is a neighborhood house with tent sites in backyard garden. Very pleasant. Use of bathroom and shower a useful bonus. Will stay again when traveling through in future.

Had a great night at Michaela’s spot. Felt very safe and comfortable on my own. She was very welcoming and friendly when I arrived and was nice enough to make me coffee in the morning before heading out. We chatted and got to know each other a bit which was lovely. Would recommend to anyone passing through. Especially solo female travels. Overall great experience. Thank you for the stay!

Awesome views and the cemetery is fascinating. Kim is a sweet, gracious host and made us feel so welcome. We were very grateful for our 4-wheel drive truck on the way up and down the mesa!

Michaela's prompt communication gave us reassurance from the minute we requested a site, and Ernesto greeted us as if we were already friends. Their relaxing, peaceful home/Hipcamp was an unexpected oasis. One of the best Hipcamp experiences we've had.

Weekend Trip to Mesa Top camping

Beautiful views and quiet. Quirky property with a cemetery (campsite is behind it near the edge of the mesa). The road to the site is rough and definitely requires higher clearance and 4WD/AWD. We made it up slowly in our electric mid-size SUV, not without a few sketchy bumps underneath. I couldn’t imagine a sedan having great success up the road (big rocks, big dips and eroded areas, and mud in areas after a rain). Just FYI!

Our stay at the Garden House was wonderful. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. The bed was comfortable and we slept great! We loved the open house concept stay, it reminded us of a hostels. Highly recommend.

The Edge was such a fun and funky place to stay! It’s about 1.5 miles from town so is quiet and up on the mesa—great for sunsets. The Land of the Dead was a nice treat as well, make sure to spend time there, looking at all the graves. Kim was a very gracious host, communicable and kind. Would stay here again!

It's a magical locale. The views are spectacular. I enjoyed everything about camping here. Kim S is a great host and gave me clear directions. I appreciated that she checked in to see how I was doing. I'm bummed I missed the concert on the stage. Music under the stars in the "Land of the Dead" which is really a more alive location than the lives many people live hustling around in chaotic lives. I'll be back.

I loved the view from the mesa, especially the sunrise. The site was very quiet and peaceful and I slept very well. I enjoyed walking in the nearby cemetery. The outhouse is the best I have ever seen.
