Brad and Ciana welcome you to the Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve, managed by The Wilderness Institute.
The camp was founded 40 years ago as a summer camp for kids. We continue to offer camps for children and their parents and grandparents (family camps), as well as welcome adults and other groups to enjoy the vast and wild high desert nature up on this ridge.
"BE A CAMPER CONSERVATIONIST"!
Register for our nature education activities and resources lead by The Wilderness Institute (available for all of our guests). These topics include sustainability, recycling, composting, water conservation, wildfire prevention, outdoor safety, and nature awareness along with the use of our hiking trails.
You can also join an archery class, tomahawk throwing, climbing on the mobile climbing wall, Yoga, Tai Chi, Climbing Into The Heart of the Mother Tree, Star talks and more! (https://wildernessinstitute.org/outdoor-programs/)
There are beautiful views and access to Shaggy Peak, the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. Wander our land to enjoy various level hiking trails including a 20 minute hike to a creek and waterfall in the forest (some steep spots and creek is intermittent) or climb up Shaggy Peak (seasoned hikers only please).
IMPORTANT: We are up 1.3 miles of dirt road (with 5-7+% grade in a few short stretches) and are not near public transportation so you will need your own vehicle! Be aware that the roads can be snowy, icy or muddy and rutted ( 4-wheel or All-trak recommended in certain times of year). We don’t guarantee the road will be plowed.
We generally close for the season due to cold weather around Halloween and reopen just before Memorial Day.
This is a non-smoking, no candle facility.

Angel Fire, NM · 9 sites · Tents, RVs
The Enchanted Circle Campground sits on the Avalon Ranch. It is 161 owned acres surrounded by a state trust lease. We are very proud to have been voted #1 Campground in NM 4 years in a row and ranked Top 5 by Forbes in the country.
We have 8 Sites to choose from. (No large RVs at 4, 7 or 8) Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Free potable water is available as well as a portable toilet.
For cooking, you will have a fire pit, with a cast iron grill. Every site has a standing charcoal grill, with tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. A fire extinguisher and a shovel. We hang a hand washing jug at every site for your convenience, with potable water, but do not suggest this for drinking water source.
The property was originally homesteaded in 1893. It was also the first potato farm in NM. It has seven ground-fed springs that run year-round and is officially the Coyote Creeks Headwaters. The springs converge after filling 4 of our ponds in the marshland where the potatoes were grown. A family of 4 lived in the first dwelling built here, not much larger than a shed. Since that time, 2 homes, 1 of which still stands, a barn, a smokehouse, and 4 other outbuildings were constructed. There are old wagons and farm equipment from the late 1800s and early 1900's still strewn about the ranch.
We are home to Huge herds of Elk, mule deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, eagles, black bears, 9 horses, chickens, pigs, goats, our 2 dogs and 4 cats, and the occasional Mountain Lion.
We live here year-round. We love our land and want to share it with others.
I am a Veteran and our intent is to eventually have a Veterans Retreat facility here. Not a retreat itself, but rather a location for all of the retreats, nationwide, to be able to utilize, so they can use the funds they have to do what they do best. You are helping to make that possible.
We do pride ourselves on minimally impacting our land. We strive to keep it clean and as close to nature as we can.
And as always, Veterans, LEOs, and Fire Fighters are always free for one night up to 4 guests. Just book your reservation, and show us your ID during your stay, and we will reimburse you for your last night with us.

Fenton Lake is a short drive away, and the San Antonio Hot Springs is a 2.5 mile hike, bike, or ski away right out the front door for the confident adventurer.

Nice area. If you dont have at least a truck, you may have a rough ride up to the camp. Hiking trails are steep but beautiful. You'll feel like you're the first person ever on that trail.
The tent area is flat but not level. It rained a lot while we were there but no flooding so our stuff stayed dry. The hosts are very nice, especially Moses and Ziggy (camp dogs).
The camp appears to be in the planning stages of a renovation. It looks like it was a former church retreat or kids camp. Nice area.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cypress Bluff Campsite is a hidden gem and one of the most peaceful places we’ve camped. Tucked away on the Mescalero Apache Reservation, it offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. The camp host lives just up the hill, so help is nearby if you need anything, but the nearest neighboring homes are miles away, giving you a true sense of privacy and solitude.
The site is rustic yet thoughtfully equipped with water, a fire pit, and firewood available, making it easy to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Wildlife is plentiful, and Cloudcroft and Lincoln National Forest are just around the corner, with excellent hiking and endless opportunities to explore.
The biggest surprise was the night sky. With almost no light pollution, the stars were absolutely breathtaking. The Milky Way was brilliantly visible, making this an unforgettable destination for anyone who loves astronomy or simply appreciates a spectacular night sky.
If you’re looking for a quiet mountain getaway with an exceptional host, beautiful surroundings, and some of the best stargazing you’ll ever experience, Cypress Bluff Campsite earns every bit of its five-star rating. We’ll definitely be back.

Incredible scenery, beautiful landscape, super polite hosts. The bathhouse was probably the nicest I’ve ever seen. The solar lights were great and useful. Plan on staying here again in our future visits.

Dede and her husband are awesome. I came here to relax before a bike race. I hiked a bit, caught a short ride, had a shower……. Everything I hoped for. I stayed another night in my way home and chatted with both of them for an hour or so. I enjoyed getting to know them a little bit.
If you’re coming thru, book a night or two here.

The site has a great view, and the hosts are very helpful. We enjoyed exploring the property and learning about the Native American ruins. I found our stay very peaceful and would like to camp there again. Bathrooms and shower were a plus.

Agua de Vida was lovely! Gorgeous lakeside view at The Avenue! We had a tiny bit if trouble with the electric, but Brenda and her husband were so accommodating and quick to fix the issue - truly a lovely stay! Would happily stay there again. Our dog was also in love with their puppy, Pepper🏕️

Where to go
Central and North Central New Mexico
New Mexico's Central and North-Central regions are home to many of the state's most popular cultural attractions, and both Albuquerque and Santa Fe are here. Area highlights include Bandelier National Monument and Petroglyph National Monument, as well as numerous pueblos. The most famous of these—the Taos Pueblo—is a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years.
Northwest New Mexico
Cultural attractions abound in Northwestern New Mexico. Highlights include the Zuni Pueblo and the Acoma Pueblo—both the Jicarilla Apache Nation and the Navajo Nation call this region home. Other points of interest include the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and El Mapais National Monument.
Northeast New Mexico
Situated where the Rocky Mountains give way to the Southwestern plains, this area is characterized by prairies, ranches, and Western charm. Popular historic and natural attractions include the Fort Union National Monument and the Capulin Volcano National Monument. Conchas Lake State Park and Ute Lake State Park offer ample opportunities for fishing, boating, and lakeside camping.
Southwest New Mexico
For a Wild West experience, head to the southwestern corner of the state. Here you'll find plenty of old ghost towns, historic mission communities, and pristine natural areas. The area is also rich with hot springs, particularly in the low-key spa town of Truth or Consequences.
Southeast New Mexico
Culture, history, and the great outdoors converge in southeastern New Mexico, home to both of the state's national parks (White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns) as well as a host of museums, from the New Mexico Museum of Space History to the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner. Fans of the paranormal won't want to miss Roswell, the site of the famous Area 51 UFO sightings and a de facto pilgrimage site for all things alien.
