The property is in the agricultural village of El Guique just north of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, where indigenous settlements have existed for many centuries due to rich soil, proximity to the Rio Grande and Chama rivers. While we are in a rural area, you will be 10 min north of the town of Espanola and 5 min from the Ohkay Owingeh rest stop (with a great El Parasol Norte takeaway restaurant- don't miss their tacos!). It's easy to run to Espanola's Wal-Mart, Lowes or other stores if you forgot anything or need to purchase supplies. In terms of the campsite, our 5 acre property is a narrow agricultural strip that extends from the irrigation acequia (ditch) at the top of the dirt road down into a dense bosque (forest), ending in a path to the Rio Grande. The campsite is in the bosque (forest) a little distance from our house in the privacy of the cottonwoods and elms. At this time we do not have other campsites sharing the space so you will be camping by yourself and have the bathroom to yourself. It is a short walk from the camp to the Rio Grande where you'll find stairs to the river. The river is wade-able in the late summer but in winter/spring the currents are strong and not advisable for young children or non-swimmers. You and your family are welcome to walk back to our farm to interact with goats, chickens, and our friendly dogs, use the playground, or swing on the large swing by the pond. This property is at its best Summer through mid Fall when all is green, the pond is full and river is calmer. Winter camping is still doable but may include snow, a frozen pond, and leafless trees, as well as visiting sandhill cranes. The site is spacious, has a firepit with a cover. We can supply wood if you need it (just text us). In summer we have mosquitos being so close to river so come prepared with some serious sprays or creams- citronella candles and herbal stuff won't be effective here. You will have a lot of privacy in the bosque, and it is relatively quiet from urban noise. But you will be in agricultural country, so you will hear sounds of roosters, horses, goats, peacocks as well as our neighbors doing their thing in the farm land all around you. There can be dogs barking so if any of this noise bothers you at night you will want to bring earplugs.We are located in the Espanola River Valley halfway between Taos and Santa Fe, near the confluence of the Rio Chama and the Rio Grande, in a quiet farming area locally called El Guique. Our property is a narrow agricultural strip that meets the top of the paved road in El Guique but goes down through dense bosque where there is a flat and secluded camping area with firepit and picnic table. The campsite now also has a A-frame enclosed outhouse. At your campsite you'll enjoy the quiet and private area surrounded on all sides by cottonwoods, elm, and an adjacent pond. In addition you can take a 1/4 mile short walk beyond the pond to a placid bend of the Rio Grande where you can watch the river wildlife and even fish. In spring the river is usually too strong for swimming safely, but in late summer/early fall you can usually wade in to cool off, and even launch a kayak or raft from our river spot. This is a great campsite for families, as we have miniature goats, friendly dogs and chickens to pet. We also have a large playground, trampoline and zipline for kids near our house, as well as the pond swing near the campsite. Kids can easily practice kayaking or SUP in our small pond. We ask that you supervise your children however and don't let them run loose on the property- we aren't a KOA campground and there are things they can get into that could be harmful (gas cans, farming equipment etc).
