Bare your soul (and everything else) in the Desert. Please read the full description. Step out of your tent and feel the sun kiss your cheeks…all of them. This is a private, Adult-Only (18+) clothing-optional dry tent camping experience designed for those who want to strip away the noise of the world. Because we are a hidden gem and still growing, there is a high chance that you will have the horizon to yourself. Imagine a morning coffee or sunset stroll where the only other living soul you might see are the hawks and the bunnies. We are a work in progress with a mission: turning one man’s trash into campground treasures. We work to upcycle as many materials as possible, including a former football field turned grassy landing sites for tents and RV’s. Solar showers from recycled pallets. Signage created from old drill pipe and bed boards. Our 15 acres butts up against some BLM land offering more terrain to explore in the buff. When you’re done exploring, cool off with a skinny dip in our 16’ x 32’ above ground pool. Or just lounge in the sun and work on your tan. Gateway to the 4 Corners: Within 45 minutes (New Mexico): • World-class fishing at San Juan Quality Waters, or a day at Navajo Lake State Park, or Farmington Lake. • Step back in time at Aztec Ruins, Salmon Ruins or Jackson Lake Wildlife Refuge. • Grab a tube for a fun afternoon on the Animas River Within 60 minutes (Colorado): • Hike or drive LaPlata Canyon (only 30 minutes away!) or have an adventure at Purgatory Ski Resort. • Visit world-famous Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients or Chimney Rock. • Check out Lake Nighthorse • Spend a day in Historical Downtown Durango. If you’re looking for a crowd, you’ll have to bring it with you. If you want a quiet, liberating sanctuary where you can be your most authentic self, we can’t wait to host you.

My wife and I stayed at De De's campground for two nights in mid-September in our 15-foot trailer which we parked at one of the camping pads with artificial turf. We had an expansive view and enjoyed the freedom of wandering on the property and adjacent public land in our natural attire. Can't help but love New Mexico! De De answered all of our questions before the trip, met us on arrival, and stayed in contact throughout our visit. If the weather hadn't turned sour we would have enjoyed being there for a third night. The pool looked so inviting if not for that. Got to know the other couple at the campground, in fact we agreed to stay in touch and plan a return trip together!

Nakation is a fantastic Hipcamp. DeDe and Kevin were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. There is a nice short out and back trail on BLM land that is perfect for morning and afternoon/evening walks. The pool area truly feels like an oasis. The sites are very well maintained and most include a large area covered by recycled sports-field turf. Clothing optional makes this a must return for us. In addition, we met another couple that we plan to camp with next year - so the trip was a double win for us.

Exactly as advertised, a primitive retreat, private and secluded, relaxing and quiet. De De and her partner were lovely: very welcoming and friendly. The swimming pool was a wonderful respite from the hot desert sun and the patio/barbecue area was simple but well equipped with plenty of seating . The shower was a bit cool in the morning but warmed up somewhat in the afternoon/evening. This was our first time at a Nakation getaway and it was definitely a very enjoyable experience. Our dog also had a great time, we didn’t need to put him on a leash for the whole stay! We came home relaxed, refreshed, and excited to go back soon!

Dede and her husband are awesome. I came here to relax before a bike race. I hiked a bit, caught a short ride, had a shower……. Everything I hoped for. I stayed another night in my way home and chatted with both of them for an hour or so. I enjoyed getting to know them a little bit. If you’re coming thru, book a night or two here.

This was a very enjoyable Hipcamp experience. DeDe and Kevin were gracious hosts and I greatly enjoyed chatting with them in their nice pool patio area. There is a vehicle track that extends from their property about 1/2 mile into BLM land for a nice quiet hike. I parked my trailer in their pull through RV parking area which has a turf pad for each RV site. The ground is soft, and some balancing is needed so be sure to bring wide trailer leveling blocks. I was the only camper during my visit, so had the pick of camp spots. Overall excellent experience!

I had a very relaxing experience at DeDe’s campground. My tent site was clean with a nice even surface to set up. They have laid down artificial grass which was great for keeping dirt and such outside of the tent. The pool area was really nice. Spent a couple hours of pleasant conversation with DeDe and Kevin chilling next to the pool. Highly recommend this campground and would definitely stay there again.
