This is a primitive campground that I want to share with others. It’s a beautiful property located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Although it’s a bit rustic I want to keep it as natural possible. I hope you will come enjoy this native area as much as I do. Hatch, NM, the Chile Capital of the World, is just 14 miles north. come during chile harvest to take home fresh green chile right out of the field. 21 miles from Las Cruces, where you will find plenty of events and entertainment, should you so desire. Spaceport America, T or C, White Sands are all within a day's drive, and Fort Selden is just a few miles down the road, as is Blue Moon Bar and Grill. My dad first came to this property as a farm hand for the elderly couple who owned it. This was in the 1930's. He met my mother, who lived 6 miles down the road, in 1939. She was just 14. Every Sunday he would ride those 6 miles to have supper with her and her family and in 1940, 2 weeks after her 16th birthday, they married. They traveled around before coming back here, buying a small portion of this farm from the elderly owners and farming the rest for them. In 1953, the man died (his name was Ernest Ward) in the small concrete house I now use for storage, that my dad had built for he and his wife when he first came to work for them. My parents built a home for his widow in Hatch (14 miles) and bought the farm from her. My family has owned it since. I was gone for 31 years, but returned to the land and place I love and plan to stay here till I die!

Built in 2001 as a true labor of love by the local Chaparral community, this unique geodome is the ultimate home base for exploring southern New Mexico and West Texas—or simply unplugging under the vast desert sky.

Charming Towns & Day Excursions: Visit historic Old Mesilla for local artisan shops and dining, head up to cool mountain pines in Cloudcroft and Ruidoso, or grab a famous green chile cheeseburger in Hatch, NM (the Chile Capital of the World!). The Dome Experience & Custom Touches Artisanal Dream Loft: Head upstairs to a luxurious king-size bed featuring a stunning, hand-carved bed frame brought straight from Juárez, Mexico! Paired with its own half bath and iconic floor-to-ceiling dome window views, it's the ultimate cozy nook for stargazing.

Pet-Friendly Living Your furry friends are family here! We feature a built-in doggy door leading directly to the private, fully fenced back area. Pet Guidelines: Up to 2 pets are welcome. If you leave your pet unattended, we kindly ask that they are safely secured or kenneled inside. Due to high summer heat, leaving pets unattended for long periods is strongly discouraged. Embracing Authentic Desert Life We want you to love the desert as much as we do, so here are a few fun "insider tips" for your stay: Desert Flora (Goat Heads): Natural stickers and thorns are a staple of desert terrain! We highly recommend wearing sneakers or boots outdoors. Doggy booties are great for sensitive paws, though most pets handle it just fine. Monsoon Season (June–Sept): Summer brings vibrant desert blooms, warmer temps, and quick afternoon rain. To keep curious desert flies outside where they belong, just give the front door a quick snap when coming and going! Desert Critters: The dome is on a regular professional pest control plan! However, because we are nestled right in the high desert, an occasional curious bug might still pop in to say hello—it's just a natural part of desert living. Keeping doors closed helps keep them outside where they belong! Security: For your peace of mind, Ring cameras are located on the exterior of the dome. From breathtaking sunrises to unforgettable starry nights, the Desert Dome offers a stay unlike any other. We can't wait to host you! Bailey and Nadia
