Ultimate peace and privacy. Nestled in juniper-wooded hills with sweeping views. Close to Albuquerque (20 minutes) and Santa Fe (40 minutes) but feels like a secluded retreat. Most people have no problem finding my place by entering my address in their GPS. However, I have had 2 HipCampers report their GPS directed them to a road called Camino de las Brisas or Las Brisas Loop. Turning here will lead you to a steep, dangerous road where it will be very difficult to turn around if you're in an RV and impossible with a trailer. Continue on Camino de Las Huertas to Senda Osa Vieja. It's marked with a street sign, a stone monument with brass plate. There's also a blue "private road" sign with a dragon. This land was purchased in 1956 by my archeologist parents because of the ancient pueblo site (dating from 1000 A.D.) and pit house sites (dating from 800 A.D.) Until the mega drought seriously impacted the land, a stream ran through it year round. Now it is only intermittent. Across the valley from this property, and within view of the campsite, is the site of a Spanish Colonial village, San Jose de las Huertas. It dates from the 1700s and is now owned by the Archeological Conservancy. This area is rich in history both Native American and Spanish. Learn more about this land: Located in the high desert 20 minutes from Albuquerque and 40 minutes from Santa Fe. Views of Sandia mountains, and near historic archeological sites. Within a 10 minute drive are popular mountain biking trails. Petroglyphs are a 20 minute, moderately strenuous hike from property. Very peaceful, quiet and safe. Read all the Rules and Safety info before booking so you understand exactly what facilities are and are not available, particularly if you in an RV or trailer.Located in the high desert 20 minutes from Albuquerque and 40 minutes from Santa Fe.

Rig suitability
Vehicles under 30 feet allowed
Allowed rigs: travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, class A RVs, class B RVs, class C RVs, campervans, cars, truck campers, and rooftop tents
Pull-through site
Access is on a dirt road. The site is not suitable for rigs over 30 feet, excluding tow vehicle. There is a pull-through space but it is not as level as the back in space and would require leveling blocks on one side.
Accommodates slideouts
Surface type: Loose Gravel
Surface levelness: Flat
Electrical hookup available
Less than 30 amps
Water hookup available
On-site hookup. Use the spigot to fill your tank but don't hook up. I'm on a well and the changing pressure of turning water on and off in the rig is hard on the pump.
Generators allowed
Please don't run a generator after 7:00 p.m.
No sewage hookup
No TV hookup

No toilet; campers must bring camp toilets
Potable water available
Spigot. I have a well with beautiful, safe, ancient water. This is the desert. Every drop is precious. Campers may fill tanks but DO NOT connect directly to the spigot because there is no holding tank to regulate the well pressure. It can damage my well pump and possibly your plumbing..
Bins available
Recycling bin, trash bin. There are both trash and recycling bins located west of my house.

Picnic table absent
