This one is for the nature enthusiast! How does camping in the middle of the fantastic beauties of nature to you? Spend your days with waterfalls, snowy mountains, rivers, dunes, hiking trails, camping sites, and RV parks, Roys Ranch is located in Southern Colorado, just down the road from the Rio Grande River and less than 1.5 hours from Taos, New Mexico. It is secluded enough to give you maximum privacy but close enough to be in range for groceries!Learn more about this land: Looking for complete privacy, magnificent views, and easy access to southern Colorado and northern NM? My High Mesa Campsite is the place for you! Sitting atop the Wild Horse Mesa in the San Luis Valley, this 5-acre campsite is perfect for tent camping and overlanding. At 8,400 feet above sea level, you'll have cool breezes, clear skies, and unparalleled views. We have plans to build a getaway cabin on this property, but for now we use it to camp and get away from the busyness of life. We hope you'll come experience it - we love to share it with fellow campers and travelers! Why we love this campsite: 1. It's beautiful! Southern Colorado is where the high desert meets the mountains. There's nothing like watching the sunrise from 8,400 feet. 2. Easy access to amazing sights and activities! Great Sand Dunes National Park (45 minutes), Zapata Falls (30 minutes), Mt. Blanca (30 minutes), Taos Ski Valley (1.25 hours), Colorado Springs (2.5 hours), Pagosa Springs (2.5 hours). 3. Easy to find while very private! The roads are county maintained and labeled, and you will probably not see another person in the area your entire stay. Pinon, pine, and lots of shrubs cover most of the campsite. Lava rock brings some texture to the high desert dirt, and there is enough tree coverage to stay as hidden and private as you choose. The Mesa has no shortage of wildlife! Besides herds of wild horses, you may encounter coyotes, rabbits, hawks, and other beautiful native animals. Always keep your distance, and never feed wildlife. A few things to note about this campsite: 1. NO electricity, NO water, NO restrooms, NO showers! 2. NO trash receptacle - pack-in, pack-out only. 3. There is only one campsite/listing on our property - you get it all to yourself! .
