The Enchanted Circle Campground sits on the Avalon Ranch. It is 161 owned acres surrounded by a state trust lease. We are very proud to have been voted #1 Campground in NM 4 years in a row and ranked Top 5 by Forbes in the country. We have 8 Sites to choose from. (No large RVs at 4, 7 or 8) Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Free potable water is available as well as a portable toilet. For cooking, you will have a fire pit, with a cast iron grill. Every site (but 7) has a standing charcoal grill, with tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. A fire extinguisher and a shovel. We hang a hand washing jug at every site for your convenience, with potable water, but do not suggest this for drinking water source. The property was originally homesteaded in 1893. It was also the first potato farm in NM. It has seven ground-fed springs that run year-round and is officially the Coyote Creeks Headwaters. The springs converge after filling 4 of our ponds in the marshland where the potatoes were grown. A family of 4 lived in the first dwelling built here, not much larger than a shed. Since that time, 2 homes, 1 of which still stands, a barn, a smokehouse, and 4 other outbuildings were constructed. There are old wagons and farm equipment from the late 1800s and early 1900's still strewn about the ranch. We are home to Huge herds of Elk, mule deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, eagles, black bears, 9 horses, chickens, pigs, goats, our 2 dogs and 4 cats, and the occasional Mountain Lion. We live here year-round. We love our land and want to share it with others. I am a Veteran and our intent is to eventually have a Veterans Retreat facility here. Not a retreat itself, but rather a location for all of the retreats, nationwide, to be able to utilize, so they can use the funds they have to do what they do best. You are helping to make that possible. We do pride ourselves on minimally impacting our land. We strive to keep it clean and as close to nature as we can. And as always, Veterans, LEOs, and Fire Fighters are always free for one night up to 4 guests. Just book your reservation, and show us your ID during your stay, and we will reimburse you for your last night with us.

Site 4 "Lake View" (Old site 1)

100% (148)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 18 ft
Site 4 is our smallest and most romantic campsite, with the best view of the ponds, and a wonderful sunset spot. It is not large enough for any camper larger than 14ft due to the trees on the driveway loop. Only pop-ups, class A and teardrops are allowed here. It is best served as a van or tent site. There is a lovely pergola with a table and 4 chairs, near the standing charcoal grill and fire pit. There are plenty of benches, two Adirondack chairs overlooking the cliff and valley, and two hammocks. As always there are grilling tools, a cast iron grill on the fire pit, a shovel, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes, a hand washing jug and trash can. There is a trailhead sign if you’re looking to do some beautiful hiking. This site is closest to the games area.

Site 5 "Valley View" (Old Site 2)

100% (134)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 24 · Vehicles under 45 ft
Site 5 has tons of flat room for tents and all vehicle types, with a large u-shaped drive through. There is a wonderful valley view, and you will probably see the horses daily. This site has a lovely pergola, picnic table, a standing charcoal grill, 2 fire pits with cast iron grill and shovel, grilling tools, 2 hammocks, hand washing jug, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes and strategically positioned solar lights. We love the “secret” Fire pit just over the cliff, perfect for grownups, while the kids make s’mores or are asleep A great site for more than one trailer or RV, easily fitting 3- 45ft RV's with space to spare, or 3 different families and their tents. It is a great companion site for site 6 as well for those Large group gatherings.

Site 7 "The Pines"

100% (129)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 12 ft
Site 7 is urrounded by pine trees with a ton of room for tents and vans. 4wheel drive is suggested during rainy periods. The site itself is easy to manage, with wonderful flat areas, however the short road up to site 7 and 8 IS NOT CUT FOR RVS OR TRAILERS! We will turn you around and send you to the Monte Verde RV Park unfortunately, if we don't have anything else open. This secluded site has a lovely pergola, picnic table in the shade, a huge double fire pit with cast iron grill, grilling tools and shovel, fire extinguisher, plenty of fireside log benches, hand washing water jug, 2 hammocks, humming bird and bird feeders, wind chimes and amenities bag. This is the only site without a standing charcoal grill!

Site 1 "Star Gazer 1"

98% (121)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 30 · Vehicles under 45 ft
Site 1 is spot is great for larger groups and RVs. (This is our old site #5.) This site is intended for multiple RVs or large groups with multiple vehicles. It sits in the middle of a large open area, surrounded by Big Views of the surrounding mountains, great stars, and a few big trees. This is one of our 2 Stargazer Sites and is a favorite for the larger RVs. There is a lovely pergola, picnic table, 2 hammocks, log benches around a big fire pit with cast iron grill, standing charcoal grill, shovel and grill tools, hand washing jug, hummingbird and bird feeders, wind chimes, trash can, and strategically placed solar lights. Our horses will pass by at least once a day if you have any extra apples or carrots and you want to make friends. If you have more than 20 people in your group we strongly suggest booking 1 and 2 together (or 5 and 6] and spreading out.

Site 2 "Star Gazer 2"

100% (69)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 45 ft
Site 2 is the flattest spot on the entire ranch and one of the easiest to access. This spot is our original Stargazer site. It has the biggest views and is the most open site @ECC. It is great for multiple RVs or groups with multiple tents and vehicles. There is a lovely pergola, picnic table, 2 hammocks, log benches around a big fire pit with cast iron grill, standing charcoal grill, shovel and grill tools, hand washing jug, hummingbird and bird feeders, wind chimes, trash can, and strategically placed solar lights.

Site 6 has tons of flat room for tents and all vehicle types, with a large u-shaped drive through. You can easily fit 3-4 RVs or ten tents.

This site has a lovely pergola, picnic table, double fire pit with cast iron grill and shovel, standing charcoal grill, grilling tools, 1 hammock, hand washing jug, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes and strategically positioned solar lights. If you’re booking a very large party, sites 5 and 6 work well together.

Site 8 "Cliffs"

100% (38)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 12 ft
Site 8 is the most private site we have. Located on the cliff above the sweat lodge. You can explore the epic rocks around this site and find all sorts of cool things… and one of the locations from Amazon’s “Outer Range”. Absolutely NO LARGE RVS OR TRAILERS. This is a tent, van, small pop-up or class C only. We strongly recommend 4WD during rainy periods. The road going up to Sites 7 and 8 was not cut for RVs and trailers. We will turn you around and send you to the Monte Verde RV Park. There is no pull through driveway at the site and limited parking. This site has a lot of tent space and sunshine, surrounded by trees and cliffs. There is a lovely pergola (standard with grill tools, fire extinguisher, hand washing water jug, and amenities bag) a picnic table, log benches, a huge fire pit with cast iron grill and shovel, a standing grill, 2 hammocks, hummingbird feeder, bird feeder and wind chimes. As always we have solar lights strategically placed at tripping hazards and trees. Also a good site if you’re bringing dogs that might be scared of horses, they don’t go up there much.

Site 3 “The Ridge"

98% (28)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 45 ft
Site 3 sits atop the Ridge and overlooks everything. Wonderful stargazing and sunset spot. One of the spots used by Amazon Prime for the show "Outer Range". It is a mixture of all of the sites and is great for Large groups, or cozy couples. Great for all vehicle types and tents, capable of fitting 3 or 4 large RVs and is a great location for larger groups. Across the road from the games area, and the first site past the water fill station. You have an excellent sunset and star gazing spot, with a great amount of privacy from the road. There is a lovely pergola with picnic table, grilling tools, cast iron grill in a double fire pit, shovel for the fire, standing charcoal grill, 1 hammock, log benches, hand washing jug, trash can, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes and strategically placed solar lights. A few seasoned ECC; vets have dubbed it the 'Best Spot', we honestly still can't decide though... They are each so unique and present a different experience overall. We encourage you to try them all!

Enchanted Circle Campground offers campers a blend of tranquility and adventure, set amidst stunning New Mexico wilderness. The campsites are spacious and well-equipped, complete with amenities like fire pits, hammocks, and clean porta-potties. Visitors appreciate the privacy and seclusion, while still being within a short drive of local attractions. However, some have noted the lack of showers and commented on the price, but the overall experience remains highly praised.

This camp is perfectly located to enjoy Whitewater and hiking across Angel Fire and Taos. We loved the beautiful views, the hike to the pond, and seeing all the stars at night. The only thing we wanted was showers, but it was still an outstanding camp out.

Site 2 "Star Gazer 2"
We love ECC for the free ranging animals (horses, goats, pigs, chickens), the clean porta-potties, the spread out campsites and the relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful views all around. The campsites have all the necessities - fire pit, seating, grill tools, shovel, fire extinguisher, hammock(s), amenity bags with dish soap, a deck of cards, scrubby sponge, trash bags and a first aid kit. Fresh spring water available, plus eggs and ground pork (from the chickens and pigs on site). This place is the best!

Site 3 “The Ridge"
We love ECC and will be going back. We did have an issue with another camper surprisingly show up at our campsite to get pictures of the horses. That isn't the real issue. The issue is that the other camper went to the camp host upset, because my wife said "you are in our campsite and I have to get the dogs up." We usually don't put our dogs on a leash when they are at the campsite. This is one of the reasons we love ECC. The dogs can play around the campsite. We put them on leashes when there are farm animals, other people in our area or we walk the property. My guess is the other camper said that my wife was trying to prevent people from roaming the property and that wasn't true. The person and her son on a 4x4 were next to our hammock at the camp site. That isn't a main road. I am also guessing that the camp host was trying to keep the peace and not pick a side. He could have listed a little more though. This was the only down side to another nice weekend at ECC. I recommend the eggs and ground pork extras. We love the sites being relatively far apart. It was evident that the owners have done some upkeep. New solar lights, hammocks, etc. The bird feeders at our site brought lots of wild birds to feed. there were a lot of people for the holiday weekend and it was still very quiet and peaceful. If you are entitled and disrespectful of others, please don't go to ECC. If you like peace and quiet and a beautiful setting for camping, please go to ECC and go often.

Site 8 "Cliffs"
I camped there back in August with my grandson and it was awesome! 6 weeks ago I felt like the Lord was calling me away by myself to the exact same spot. I arrived around 1:00 pm on Saturday and left Tuesday morning around 2:00 a.m. Landon was gracious and letting me come early. And I really appreciated that. This was a sabbatical for me and the Lord did not disappoint. There were questions that were answered and there were answers for questions that I wasn't asking. It was a very special time. Very private, there was one camper there when I got there Saturday and he was gone on Sunday I had the whole place to myself. Very quiet very peaceful, it is my place of Peace for sure. I will be back! Five stars all the way I love the fact that it is so far off the main road.

This was our second stay at Enchanted Circle. And it was great again. We love this place even more now, and we're determined to stay at every spot now. You're kinda close to the other star gazer sight but not too close. Just enough to see them every now and then. It's more of a big group site but that's all that was available and we enjoyed it. Definitely more on the open side. The views were great! And we were visited by a huge piggy in the morning. Thanks again Landon for the awesome place. We'll be back!

Whilst exploring the area we’d planned on camping in the National Forest until we found this gem. Such a great campsite for my pup and I. Being able to let her off-leash the whole time and how separated the Cliffs site was made it a perfect break in a long road trip. Will definitely be returning 🙏

This was our first time camping at E>> and we had a great time. The campsite was very clean and well maintained. Even though you are close to town and the activities of Angel Fire it feels like you are deep in the woods. This site had plenty of space and a great combination of shade and sunlight for solar and Starlink (not needed). We have Goggle Fi and AT&T and had great 5G service at our site. We will definitely come back and try and stay a little longer to explore more. Thanks for an easy low stress weekend!

Site 5 "Valley View" (Old Site 2)
While traveling for our honeymoon in New Mexico, we certainly found enchantment and connection here. The sites, surrounding grounds and homestead ranch with welcoming animals & hosts were all very charming. Sites were well equipped, well lit, spacious and private with quaint views. Bathrooms and games area were close by. We especially enjoyed seeing and interacting with the free ranging horses on the ranch and surrounding mountain forest. The hosts were extremely respectful, friendly and informative. We rented mini bikes which were a blast to ride and explore the ranch trails and surrounding state forest land. While hiking, I was able to find elk and mule deer. The farm fresh eggs and ground pork were both delicious! There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas of Angel Fire, Eagle's Nest and Red River with so many great folks. It's less than an hour from Taos as well. We'll certainly make this a top priority destination stop the next time we're in New Mexico and highly recommend you do so as well. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Landon & Family! - J & T
