🌵 Ka-Hoon Desert Campground Experience Welcome to Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, also known as Plateau Hame De Colquhoun — a remote off-grid desert campground in central New Mexico. Located on the edge of a mesa with sweeping views of the Rio Grande Valley and surrounding mountain ranges, Ka-Hoon offers a peaceful desert stay for both solitude and community connection. This is a natural, evolving desert property designed for camping, stargazing, and occasional community events. 🚧 IMPORTANT BEFORE BOOKING Access requires driving on an 11-mile unpaved desert road with washboard sections, dips, and dust. * Passable by most standard vehicles * No 4x4 required * Drive slowly and carefully * Please read guest reviews before booking 🌿 WHAT KA-HOON IS ABOUT Ka-Hoon is a respect-based desert space built on one principle: Respect yourself, others, the land, and local laws.

Guests may come for privacy, reflection, or light community interaction depending on the season. 🌄 WHAT TO EXPECT * Wide open desert skies, sunsets, and mountain views * Rustic, evolving campsites across natural terrain * Off-grid homestead environment * Occasional events (music, movies, seasonal gatherings) * 420-friendly atmosphere * Wildlife present (including snakes — please be aware) * Simple shower facilities planned (availability not guaranteed) 🌙 EXPERIENCE STYLE Ka-Hoon is: * Not a resort or hotel * Raw, natural, and minimally developed * A working desert space that continues to evolve Guests should expect a real desert experience with limited infrastructure and strong connection to nature. 🌵 FINAL NOTE Whether you are passing through or staying longer, Ka-Hoon welcomes respectful guests who value open land, quiet space, and desert living. Come as you are — and experience the desert in its natural form.

Sorry for the delay. Melodie and Brent's property is very quiet and peaceful. Take your time after getting off the highway and you will be fine getting to their property. We chose to stay with them for a dark sky and a have a quiet place to work remotely and we were not dissapointed. We will definitely stay again when we are in the New Mexico Area!

We didn't get to stay long as we were in between long distance destinations but Melodie & Brent's place was awesome. And they were super patient with us with directions. Yes, as other's have said follow them to a T! We did find the distance on Twinning Rd (not marked that we could see but is literally two roads side by side) to be 2.8 rather than 2.6 miles and the Blue Moon container is so faded you can't see what it is until you are right up on it but other than that their directions worked perfectly. I'm neurospicy so specifics trip me up sometimes but they were patient with us and walked us through. The sunset was one of the best I've seen in a very long time and the sunrise was cotton candy gorgeous.

Taking in the view from our campsite, was breathtaking. Melodie and Brent were beyond helpful and equally amazing hosts. Their land is gorgeous, natural and clean. Sunsets, sunrises and everything in between. Our van died on the way back to our campsite. Melodie and Brent saved us. We drove from Oklahoma to NM. She brought her friend along who is a mechanic and he fixed our van. Absolutely above and beyond. I look forward to staying with Melodie and Brent in the future. Plus, your compost toilet was a very unexpected luxury.

Detailed directions to their place (don't trust Google maps, trust the directions they give), friendly greeting and tour of the space- they have a composting toilet, music studio, and are working on a shower space. Flat camping spots for tent camping- very minimal light made the stars stand out which was awesome to see, even with the fuller moon the milky way was visible.

A beautiful place to stay on open land stretching for as far as you can see! As others have mentioned, it is ~10 miles of bumpy bumpy roads, so I'm glad we're staying for more than one night. Mel + Brent are welcoming and friendly. Wouldn't be surprised if we come by again in the future! Queer + POC safe.

First, Melodie and Brent live on this land. They are awesome hosts, giving you a quick rundown of the property then letting you go do your thing. Felt like we were alone the entire time. Views are awesome. Stars at night were spactacular. Everything we wanted! FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY AND TAKE YOUR TIME GETTING THERE.

Melodie and Brent are the most friendly and accommodating hosts. Be sure to follow their detailed directions, and allow plenty of time to get there before sunset. It took us almost an hour after taking exit 191 off I-25 to reach the camp. We have a towed car with very low clearence so we were going really slow. But once we get there the place is breathtaking, unobstructed views for miles in all directions. The only distractions we had during our weeklong stay were a few free-roaming cows walking by. Time slows down here. Perfect place for watching sunrise and sunset, stargazing, and pondering the meaning of life :) The Mesa is untamed land so you do want to bring the essentials you need. You will have the best experience here if you are self-sufficient. We got to talk to the host family about their plans to develop the land, and to preserve its beauty at the same time. They have great ideas and they are hardworking folks, but most of all, their hospitality truly heartwarming. We wish them best of luck, and hope to visit again in the future. P.s. the Verizon cellphone signal was surprisingly good in this area.
