Best in New Mexico: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Visit the startling beauty of the plateaus above Lake Abiquiu in northern New Mexico. Star Dance provides a secluded experience for travelers, artists, fishermen, birdwatchers, stargazers, and more. Star Dance sits above the upper Rio Chama canyons on 30 acres of trails and undisturbed natural terrain. **ATTENTION POTENTIAL GUESTS** Recently we've had a rash of guests who, either through the difficulties with using the mobile app or just not reading our provided information, have been arriving passed our check in time. We require guests to arrive no later than an hour before sundown (summer 7:30pm - winter 5:00pm) We require this because we are very rural and our sites are not lit to keep our property natural and prevent light pollution for ourselves and our neighbors. In the past we've issued refunds for people who have neglected this rule. We will no longer be doing so in the future.

Site 1 - Star Dance High Desert Retreat
Amazing. Such a serene spot with access to kitchen and bathrooms. Showers with windows to look out onto the mountains. Couldn’t have been more pleased. Will definitely be back!

Magic
Star Dance is pure magic!!!! We stayed a total of 4 nights. We had originally intended 1 night. But it’s so peaceful and beautiful that we extended our stay! I hope to return one day! The stars do dance…the beauty sweeps you away…

Site 7 - Star Dance High Desert
We really enjoyed our two nights at campsite 7. The site had great views and was quiet. A short hike back to the parking space where the extremely convenient kitchen was located. Bathroom and shower facilities were nice too. Will definitely go back.
