This campsite offers a serene and private retreat with a welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the attentive hosts and the well-maintained property, which boasts a clothing-optional policy that many find liberating. The natural surroundings, complete with a pool and access to BLM land, provide ample opportunities for exploration and relaxation under the vast New Mexico sky. While the tranquility and freedom are celebrated, visitors should be mindful of the rustic setting and pack accordingly.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
This is a must stop place if passing anywhere near Farmington NM or Durango CO. The owners are very attentive and were doing upkeep on the property every day that I was there. Everything is well taken care of and clean. The BLM land that the property backs up to gives you even more room to roam which is a bonus if you like to explore.

Spent two nights here in mid April, camper van. Awesome venue - very private, very peaceful. Excellent cell coverage (I'm Spectrum). Loved the clothing optional freedom, this place is made for it

This was the perfect experience. Dede was extremely kind and helpful, and the property is absolutely stunning. I was the only camper, so I had the place to myself! Perfect as it was my first time letting the sun reach all over and experiencing that kind of freedom. Highly recommend giving it a go. The views are excellent, and exploring the BLM land made for an awesome activity. The pool was nice and cold to dip in, and the night sky was incredible. Just make sure to use plenty of sunscreen!

Very natural setting with pinon and juniper trees! The hosts were very nice and the large pool was just right on a hot sunny day!

We enjoy our stay here. Being local it’s just far enough to have some peace and quiet. Clothing optional is very comfortable with private sites. Love coming back.

De De and Kevin have created an incredible space to experience the beauty of New Mexico in its purest form. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and relaxed. Their genuine and warm hospitality shines through.
The pool was an oasis, perfect for cooling off during the day and stargazing at night. The outdoor shower was refreshing, and the hammocks offered a peaceful spot to unwind and soak in the incredible views.
The New Mexico landscape is the perfect backdrop for feeling the freedom and joy of naturism. The wide-open skies filled with stars are simply breathtaking.
Whether you're a seasoned naturist or curious about trying it out, this is a must-visit Hipcamp. De De and Kevin's kindness and the natural beauty of their land will leave you feeling refreshed, reconnected, and truly free.
Tips:
Bring plenty of sunscreen and a hat for the New Mexico sun.
Be prepared for the rustic beauty of the land – it's part of the charm!
Bottom Line: This is a 5-star experience for anyone looking to embrace nature and naturism in a welcoming and stunning environment.

Absolutely amazing time! Hidden gem! I can not wait to go back! Dede was very very friendly and welcoming! Even let us borrow a lighter (because we forgot ours) Camp sites are easy to find and level for tents. Fire pit with provided wood. A+ Amazing if you want to just walk around in the bluff! A++! We had the whole place to ourselves but if you are wanting to try a clothing optional place, this is the place to be for new or experienced naturist alike. No judgments, just amazing place to be free under the sun and stars! 6 out of 5 stars!

We loved our stay. Can’t wait to book again for June. Each area has a little privacy. And cleared spots for tents. Porta Potty was clean. Dede was kind and met us on arrival. We had beautiful sunsets and rises.

My dog Kayah and I had a great time at Nakation Getaway. Beautiful campsite, relaxing and quiet. Campfire at sunset under an amazing New Mexico sky. Perfect way to spend the weekend. Thank you so much DeDe.

Dede was very helpful getting me situated despite
being in isolation from an illness. Unfortunately I
missed out on her friendliness that previous guests were so appreciative of.

Great location and easy to get to. Very private, quiet and the hosts were great and very welcoming. Getting in the pool was a treat. When we were there it was starting to get warm and sunny so bring some shade with you. Having a campfire in the evening and stargazing was a great way to end each day. Will definitely stop in again when we are back out this way.

DeDe was an exceptional host. We had to change the dates on our reservation and she accommodated us perfectly. The campsite was beautiful and was just a short walk from some amazing mountain view’s!

Nakation RV SITE
I was given all the correct information to get there. When I arrived the office was closed(nobody was there). There wasn't any instructions on where I was to camp. Very confusing cause nothing was marked (very little signage) was contacted by Marlis(de de) to find any site I wanted. Found a spot to park. No water or electric. I was ok with.that cause I'm used boondocking. Actually had a very nice quiet night. All in all it worked out nicely.

They are the nicest people I have met in my stays at Hipcamps. Very accommodating, friendly, and intelligent people. Money well spent. So refreshing to the spirit, I cant wait to relax there in the spring. Definitely worth a few days of relaxation.

I loved the entire experience! The land and views were amazing! The hosts were so accommodating and went above and beyond caring for the area and their guests. Additionally the pool was a welcomed addition to the experience! I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you both so much for allowing us to share your space and for sharing your hospitality!

Great hosts! Super helpful, caring and responsive.
Everything was set up nicely for us (cute table and chairs, firewood and trash can). The property was clean and beautiful. The bathroom was clean, even though they just had a 4th of july party.
We were the only campers and DeDe let us pick our own campsite, which is always nice. They even offered that we stay past the checkout if we wanted/needed to, which has never happened to us. It was the nicest gesture!
Unfortunately it rained, so we didn't get to experience the pool, but it looked nice!
I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice spot to stay. I wish we had time to spend more nights there because it looked like it would have been a nice vacation spot.
PS: we are not nudists but don't care about others and are open-minded. Because of the party they had (with children present), everyone was clothed, and because of the rain, we didn't see anyone the following morning. If you can have an open mind, then you will definitely have fun here, regarding of how much clothes you like to wear. :)

What a lovely hidden GEM! My fiancé and I loved the atmosphere and the hosts! Very private and intimate for such a large piece of land. At sunset pool was the the perfect temperature, and the lights gave it a nice little romantic feel! Loved the floaty drink holders! Sweet little wooden outdoor showers! The stars were amazing at night! Will definitely be back to visit for LONGER! Thanks so much for the hospitality DeDe and Kevin!

This is a very simple site but has what you need if you are just seeking a quick place to sleep while you are traveling through town. We weren't there long (explanation below) but all in all, it was a very beautiful location to wake up in, and even had a trampoline, which was a fun addition :)
*Heads up* The further into the site you go, the deeper the sand gets. We had a front wheel rental and nearly dodged a bullet, a couple times. As soon as you see the tires (used to make a seating area) that's one of the sites, do not go much further in or you're risking getting stuck.
***not related to site but wanted to warn others*** We arrived very late due to confusion on how to get there. Additionally, on our way to the location I was given a speeding ticket while driving through the tiny town south of this place. The cop sits RIGHT at the mph sign, and is intentionally waiting for out-of-towners to miss the sudden change in speed. I explained that not only were we out of town, but also lost, and extremely exhausted (it was 11:20 pm). He couldn't care less about our safety and did not even bother to offer us any support or direction. Needless to say, be very careful driving through Aztec to get to this location.
Due to that incident we didn't get to bed until about 2 am, it was quite cold as it is a desert, so bring lots of warm clothes!

This is a campsite I would absolutely stay in again. DeDe and her husband were both super sweet and supplied us with firewood and supplies to make s’mores upon our arrival. We only stopped by for one night on our way out but wish we could’ve stayed longer. The site is private and the nighttime sky was incredible to lay out and look up at at night.
