Our property is located in the high desert hills above Albuquerque and Rio Rancho at 6500 feet elevation. Expansive views, amazing sunsets and a starry night sky await you. You will feel far from it all on a quiet undeveloped street, but you are only ten minutes from shopping, gas and medical care. Perfect for singles, couples, small families, photographers, nature enthusiasts and travelers looking for a unique stay. We offer RV parking and glamping accommodations. Our canvas 4 season bell tent can accommodate up to three guests and our three season canvas teepee for two. Glamping ammenities include a pergolla for dinning or relaxing and socializing with sun shade, solar lit walking trails, gathering firepit, solar shower, pit toilet, and a private cooking fire pit with grill at each tent site. RV sites do not include water, shower and toilet, but all other campsite ammenities are included. Enjoy our meandering walking trails where you will find benches and loungers designed for relaxing and taking in the views. We have a wagon to help carry your supplies to the tent site and some tools you may borrow for setting up camp. You will find these near the firepit in a sunken tote. We know you will enjoy this peaceful getaway as much as we do. We are available to answer any questions you may have about the property and are happy to orient you to the local area services and attractions. Walgreens and a gas station with food, water, propane, and firewood is only 7 miles away and is located on the turn off to the property along Unser and Northern.

    The campsite feels like you are in the remote wilderness, while still close to town if need be. The evening lights and stars make this a wonderful destination.

    Gorgeous area! The directions were easy to follow. I made it up there in a Honda Fit (low clearance), and it was quite a bumpy ride with some scrub brushing the bottom of the car in places and a lot of wash-out ridges in the road texture, but nothing that would have gotten me stuck. I picked up some firewood at the gas station right at the intersection where the directions start. The site itself was perfect. Spent a lovely night with a fire. Super quiet. I got to hear coyotes howling at the full moon and owls hooting softly nearby. It was magical. Thank you!

    We had a great time on Beth's property, the site is secluded well off paved or well trafficked roads. Plenty of space to wander and explore, the site itself has multiple small trails between different areas, all lit with solar lanterns the come on at night by there own. We love the high desert and this was the perfect stop along a road trip to unwind, only about 15 minutes from town if you forget something. Beth had a firepit built on the property and a few tools nearby (rake and shovel) to clear the pit after, she has wood for you but always a good idea to bring extra and replenish the supply.
