Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others. Located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Property is rustic now, but improvements will continue to be made as time goes on. Come help me develop this beautiful location into the best Hipcamp in New Mexico. Just 14 miles of the Chile Capital of the World, Hatch, NM, come during chile harvest to take home fresh green chile right out of the field. 21 miles from Las Cruces, where you will find plenty of events and entertainment, should you so desire. Spaceport, America, T or C, White Sands are all within a day's drive, and Fort Selden is just a few miles down the road, as is Blue Moon Bar and Grill. My dad first came to this property as a farm hand for the elderly couple who owned it. This was in the 1930's. He met my mother, who lived 6 miles down the road, in 1939. She was just 14. Every Sunday he would ride those 6 miles to have supper with her and her family and in 1940, 2 weeks after her 16th birthday, they married. They traveled around before coming back here, buying a small portion of this farm from the elderly owners and farming the rest for them, but in 1953, the man died (his name was Ernest Ward) in the small concrete house I now use for storage, that my dad had built for he and his wife when he first came to work for them. My parents built a home for his widow in Hatch (14 miles) and bought the farm from her. My family has owned it since. I was gone for 31 years, but returned to the land and place I love and plan to stay here till I die!New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others.

Right off the road, quick overnighter for me. The trains runs through but does not blow horn so it’s a lovely sound mixed with coyotes. Appreciated the last minute booking so much, it was getting late.

Solitude by the river

Horner hipcamp is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some solitude. We parked right next to the river and love the stars at night.

Very nice and remote, right along the Rio Grande. The only thing would be that the road and the train were pretty close. Carolyn was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Such a beautiful view! The water was high so we couldn’t camp to close to the river edge. It was so nice to see all the stars at night. Carolyn is very sweet as well. Really enjoyed our stay.

Skip the rocks and head elsewhere

I chose this location because of positive reviews. When I arrived it didn’t reflect the photos in my opinion - it’s just a dirt lot with tons of rocks and no privacy if there’s even one more person there, and a little bit of grass to the left. It was 92 degrees and no shade for my black dogs which couldn’t work. I appreciate that others find it beautiful but for 30/night I did not. This is all well and good until Carolyn took it as a very weird personal affront that I did not like the property. I was there for 5 minutes at 2 pm and she’s refusing to give me a refund, and is very combative and argumentative in our messaging (again, because she is personally offended I didn’t think it was beautiful and is calling me negative because of this? Bizarre). I do not recommend this place unless you have a camper or something. It was cheaper and much more beautiful to just go to Aguirre springs. This is my 2nd poor experience with hip camp (my first experience on the east coast was very good) so I’m starting to doubt the integrity of the type or person that lists their property on this app.
