The campsite is set in a serene location with stunning mountain views that many campers appreciated. While the host is noted for being welcoming and helpful, some visitors were disappointed by the lack of amenities such as bathrooms and clear signage for RV parking. The peaceful environment is occasionally interrupted by natural sounds like coyote barks, adding to the high desert ambiance. Visitors should be mindful of the challenging terrain, which is not ideal for low-clearance vehicles and can be a bit tricky to navigate, especially at night.

Nice guy but no bathrooms, he said he’s working on it, but I’d pay $10 for a night here, not what is listed.
I didn’t have the pleasure to stay. It looked like a beautiful spot but definitely not for a lower clearance vehicle. My car almost got stuck making my way through the tent camping area.

Quiet, but no amenities. Still, peaceful sleep. Some dog/coyote barking is expected since it's the high desert.

I drove through the “tent loop” of you could even call it that.
The sites looked like they were small dirt patches covered in debris or trash.
Half way through the “loop” there were two non bear proof trash cans with garbage just covering everywhere.
None of the sites were even feasible for a tent.
Did not even stay here. Super disappointed in this property. Far from advertised.
Bathrooms? Yeah okay. Where? None
This looks nothing like what you will expect unless you want to cuddle a cactus or maybe someone’s left over junk.
Tremendous host and a private spot and great sky (when the moon isn't out) :) Make the choice and stay here!

We stayed in the RV/ Trailer portion of the camp. There aren't sights per say, just parking in a field off the driveway. There is a nice view of the mountains and it is quiet. The price was right.

We found the location pretty easily but it was a little confusing on where the rv spaces were. Everything was otherwise as expected and the views were great!
The campsites are in a slightly hilly, brushy area, so there’s some privacy built in.
We picked campsite 11 so we could watch the beautiful sunset, and sunrise. It was so quiet out there!! Beautiful stars at night.
The porta potty was clean and nearby and there were trash cans next to it.
It was only our 2nd time hip camping so I was surprised that there wasnt a table and fire ring, just a space to camp . There were rocks to make a fire ring and we used our camping boxes for a table, so we were fine , but we’ll get a table top for future hipcamping.
The owner’s two dogs joined us in the morning and were super friendly and fun.

We had a great night at Jonathan’s land. Quiet, safe place for a night in our tent. Jonathan was super responsive, and answered any questions. This was my favorite campsite on this trip! Thanks so much!
Great spot to camp. Friendly host who was helpful with local ancient history which was the point of my trip. His dogs were great too they kept me company for a while. Highly recommend as a professional camper.

We arrived late and Johnathan met us outside and let us park close to his driveway so we wouldn’t get stuck and have easy access to water. He’s got a lovely property and was so accommodating-a great place to stay!
Jonathan was very responsive when we called him prior to arrival. He told us where to park. The location as advertised has an absolutely gorgeous view. We happened to be the only ones there so it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. We would highly recommend Jonathan‘s place!

This camp is in a beautiful spot with views of the snow capped San Juans in the distance. It’s convenient to Aztec Ruins and all Farmington has to offer.
Jonathan is friendly and knowledgeable, his dogs are very sweet!
As Jonathan builds this campground into an multi use facility, I’m sure it will be very popular!
Stayed here a couple nights on our way to Chaco. Quiet spot with nice views! Portapotty was clean. Tent site 8 was the perfect van spot! Jonathan was very nice and his dogs were super friendly (they hung out with us at camp). Close to Alien MTB trails, Mountain View trails accessed from the property. 2 thumbs up, would recommend this spot if in the area!

Tent sites are great, some have a wonderful view.
I stayed here in the middle of December and was the only tent camper on site. It was perfect. Secluded, spacious, and stubbled with just enough pinyon pines to block the wind. Be warned that the terrain is hilly and the desert night cold, but that should be no surprise to anyone. Johnathan was an excellent host and I highly recommend his land!

It is a beautiful spot, and we used it as a base to explore the Aztec area for a couple of days which was very enjoyable. It was easy enough for us to park our camper (17 ft) in the tent area, which was more private and scenic than the larger RV lot which is pretty close to the house. The tent area is beautiful, though, with nice walks for mountain views. My only concern was that it seemed to be an area used by ATVs or off-road motorcycles--there were lots of tracks--but probably due to the time of year (mid-November), we didn't see any. Understandably that may be an attraction for a lot of people, but if you would prefer to avoid the noise that is just a heads-up

Very convenient location just ten minutes outside town and easy to find. A little dusty and spiky for a recreational stay but it’s great for a stop over. Great morning view and the host was nicely accommodating to me arriving very late

There are no signs for RV/Trailer camping. The instructions say to follow the signs for tent camping and call the host upon arrival. If he’s not able to answer, you are left to guess on where to go. Good luck if you take a trailer back to the tent area! Scratches on the trailer at best, getting stuck is more likely.

Install water to the camping area, even primitive camping areas have that at least. He has nothing but a flat area to park. Should be listed as tent camping only area.

Johnathan was the perfect host, available to provide help when asked. He supplied us with information about the area that went well beyond what was available online.
mountain view campground is set with a view of the whole region. It felt like we were the only people around. In a crowded world we felt like we had all the space you could imagine. Our party stayed six nights. We could easily have spent six more.
We are already making plans for our return trip.
