Susan was kind and accommodated my late arrival. It’s a very basic space, but felt private and welcoming.

Friendly host, amazing views, but most importantly it was very quiet and secluded. It's a short drive from the gas stations and restaurants of Bernalillo, but far enough away that the noise pollution of busy roads and interstates was virtually non-existent. There was a rooster off in the distance, but it didn't wake me until the sun was mostly up.
Cell service is spotty. I used the host wifi, but the signal just barely reached my camp. Great opportunity to catch up on reading.
Everything was as advertised. Only my third Hipcamp, but by far the best.

Susan was an incredible host. Clean site, easy to get to, and nice gravel loop so we didn’t have to back up our trailer. Her well water was so tasty too. Highly recommend this spot!

If you are looking to explore Placitas, find hiking trails in the Sandias Mountain or just want a private, quiet RV site while traveling through the area, this is a nice location. Very peaceful. A little off the beaten path.

The location is very beautiful and Susan was great. She even shipped a lost camping item to me- as a strong wind storm occurred during our stay. Looking forward to going back, and taking some of the hikes she told us about from the site.

Lovely, quiet spot, with mountain views and a super responsive and pleasant host. Nice area and paths for walking my dogs. A perfect getaway close to home (Albuquerque) or not! It feels much more isolated (my preference!) than it really is. I will definitely return.

Only stayed one night. Very accommodating and understanding land owner. Planned to have a late check in time, so owner had left a light out to guide us. Instructions very clear on how to get there. The land is right next to her house however it doesn’t feel intrusive. Greeted us in the morning and showed some trails we could go explore nearby. Weather was a little windy in the morning which she said was unusual but made packing up a little difficult. However the land was leveled and a perfect fit for my truck and rooftop tent. Would recommend this area to other campers.

Susan’s property and campsite are beautiful and very clean. I felt safe and well-informed during my entire stay. The location is a perfect distance for feeling “out of the city” but still able to visit ABQ easily. If you are camping in a tent, be prepared for heavy winds, especially during the evening. This location is an awesome way to experience the desert.

I really liked this site. It is close to the house but still private on 3 sides facing beautiful scenery. It was quiet and peaceful. You can hike around quite a bit. The last part of the paved then dirt roads are slightly rough, steep, and narrow, but I’ve gotten used to that in NM.

Peaceful area secluded in the hills. Clean space, electrical and water hookup worked great. Beautiful area to explore around the site, the hillside right next to the hookup was a great spot to catch the sunset. Susan was very helpful in providing directions for arrival and was very welcoming, encouraging me to explore the area and giving a few recommendations.

Susan was great host- ready with good insights on the area but also respectful of one's privacy. The site had accessible water and 110 service, great added value! Very private setting- a worthwhile layover on your way through NM!

The perfect rest stop on our way through New Mexico. We pulled right into the site with our airstream no problem. Susan was there to greet us. We settled in and enjoyed watching the wild horses nearby. Lots of lovely birds all around too. Very quiet and peaceful.

This natural scenic space is wonderfully quiet and great for night sky viewing. We loved our private stay here away from the noise and presence of other campers. Having the place to ourselves made it a special treat. It's a unique setting and Susan is a delightful host. Highly recommended.

We arrived later than planned and Susan was kind enough to set a light out for us to be able to see. The land is so peaceful with beautiful views. We roamed around the area and came across a wild horse. We didn’t bother him and he didn’t bother us. There are also some amazing hiking spots within the area. Would definitely consider staying again.

Susan was lovely and greeted me when I arrived. The views are wonderful and being so close to the prehistory of New Mexico filled my soul.

I loved driving out into Placitas, very beautiful. The owner communicated well about details. The land was amazing. Very cool that there was water and electrical outlets. It was peaceful and the sunset/sunrise were beautiful. The only thing was that I didn't realize it was so close to the house and I didn't find the hiking exciting.

Peace and quiet in the high desert

Tierra del RavenTree
Lovely perch in the high desert with water and household current for comfort. Susan has one large site overlooking the foothills of the mountains with no shade but sunny cool mornings and peaceful nights.
There was almost always a breeze and sometimes a stiff wind.
One night, we watched a full moon climb over the mountains and flood the area with a gold light.
We stayed 4 nights in a small RV and were very comfortable.
Road access is easy,
30 minutes to ABQ and internet access an 8-minute drive to the local library. No dump so plan accordingly.
Susan is charming and a great host.
