All to yourself
100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
Casa de Santa Maria, home of Mother Mary's Garden, is a sacred site located 5 miles South of San Luis, Colorado. This is a rustic site for tent camping or boon docking without any electric or water hookup. Restrooms with showers are provided 1/2 mile walking/driving distance. Drinking water is available for transport. The site is situated in the Mystical San Luis Valley and has a majestic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range to the East, Blanca Peak to the North and Ute Mountain to the South. You will camp under the dark night skies and view the Milky Way depending on the moon phases. The surrounding prairie land is filled with the aroma of prairie sage. If you are looking for a place to contemplate, renew your spirit, worship under the beautiful blue sky, or just unwind from the stresses of life with nothing between you and a Higher Power, you will want to visit Mother Mary's Garden on the Casa de Santa Maria property. The redwood cedar totem statue of Mother Mary is incredible, as is the garden landscaping—and more than anything, this beautiful garden is out in the open for everyone to enjoy. Surrounded by the mesa to the east and the wide expanse of chamiso covered prairie to the north, south and west, this beautiful spot on the planet is definitely a labor of love. The Great Sand Dune National Park is less than an hour drive to North. Taos, New Mexico is 60 miles to the south.Casa de Santa Maria home of Mother Mary's Garden is a sacred site located 5 miles South of San Luis, Colorado.

Host was extremely hospitable and polite. Campsite had a range of campsites for those that wanted to be closer to amenities or have greater privacy. The showers and bathroom were very nice and had warm water ready.

Casa de Santa Maria is a beautiful and unique campsite. With outstanding views of Blanca Peak, Ute Mountain, and Culebra Peak you can stay in camp and be rewarded with eyefuls of beauty. As a base camp it is easy to get away to Great Sand Dunes National Park, or the hot springs in Hooper (Sand Dunes Recreation Hot Springs Pool). There’s great fishing and hiking opportunities along the way to Chama, New Mexico, and just 65 miles away in Taos you can enjoy history, art, and great food. Susan is a fantastic host! You won’t find a better place for a spiritual reset than Casa de Santa Maria!

This cozy spot is owned by two AMAZING people that make you feel like real VIPs! Susan's knowledge about the area and recommendations for places to explore as well as the friendly check-ins made our stay such a fantastic adventure. Steve is super friendly and helpful and his dog Luna makes you feel like you are the most special person in the world every time you see her! My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of being their first ever campers on their land and they already seemed like pro hosts! The bathrooms are so clean and luxurious for a camp spot and our camp site had a great tent bed and fire ring that made set up super easy. Our pups loved having space to run around and all of the plants to sniff and of course enjoyed playing in the snow during our stay. We recommend trying the amazing places to eat in town, definitely Sonja's for breakfast burritos! But if you bring your own food, there is plenty of space to feast with an amazing view all around you! There is a great short and beginner friendly hike to a nearby lake and we definitely recommend taking the walk up to the garden on the land, I'm sure it's even more beautiful once all of the flowers are in bloom! There are also plenty of birds to see, many different types and the wild horses are gorgeous if you're lucky to see them while you drive by. We can't wait to come back to stay again!! Highly recommend!!
