Set above the historic town of Madrid N.M. is Waldo Mesa, the location of past mining operations and stunning Vista's.The campsite is 0.9 miles off highway 14 in the historic town of Madrid and up to the mesa. Site 1 can accommodate RV's and tall setups as well as tents. The hill going to the site is short, approx. 0.2 ml. Its dirt and rock and a little steep but everything from bikes, motorcycles, sedans and buses can easily navagate without bottoming out, just take it slow. It has beautiful mesa views with plenty of privacy and nice outhouse within 50 yards. Madrid and sister village, Cerrillos are loaded with places to explore on foot or by other means. Both towns are very rich in history, from past ocean existance to Native American civilizations, silver and gold mining to booming wartime coalmining industries, to ghost towns.

We loved it! The cemetery was awesome! The road leading to it was bumpy but worth it

"The Edge" at Mesa top camping

The area was well planned. She had an outdoor sofa and the outhouse was as clean as can be . The road in was a little rough. My GPS from HC website to me off course but a very nice in town helped with directions. Met Kim and she was super nice and welcoming.

Great site. Kim was a jewel! Wind was very high followed by a day full of snow. Great place for a quick trip

This was our second time camping on Kim’s land, and we again enjoyed the peaceful vibe, silence and great views from the mesa top, Kim is a welcoming and caring host, and we look forward to returning on our next trip through the area.

"The Edge" at Mesa top camping

Kim has a very special spot here and I’m so glad we were able to stay. Gorgeous view of the canyon and mesa, plus a very special cemetery to explore. I was glad we were driving a high clearance vehicle for the road up from town, so be mindful of that. But Kim was very kind and we hope to be able to return again some time.

"The Edge" at Mesa top camping

The site was nice and great for a tent. The view was beautiful. Our kids enjoyed pretending to perform on the stage nearby. The outhouse is kept well. The tavern downtown is open even during the winter season. The food was very good there.
