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 (but 7) 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.

Site 4 "Lake View" (Old site 1)

100% (147)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 5 m

Site 4 is our smallest and most romantic campsite, with the best view of the ponds, and a wonderful sunset spot. It is not large enough for any camper larger than 14ft due to the trees on the driveway loop. Only pop-ups, class A and teardrops are allowed here. It is best served as a van or tent site. There is a lovely pergola with a table and 4 chairs, near the standing charcoal grill and fire pit. There are plenty of benches, two Adirondack chairs overlooking the cliff and valley, and two hammocks. As always there are grilling tools, a cast iron grill on the fire pit, a shovel, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes, a hand washing jug and trash can. There is a trailhead sign if you’re looking to do some beautiful hiking. This site is closest to the games area.

Site 3 “The Ridge"

98% (27)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 13 m

Site 3 sits atop the Ridge and overlooks everything. Wonderful stargazing and sunset spot. One of the spots used by Amazon Prime for the show "Outer Range". It is a mixture of all of the sites and is great for Large groups, or cozy couples. Great for all vehicle types and tents, capable of fitting 3 or 4 large RVs and is a great location for larger groups. Across the road from the games area, and the first site past the water fill station. You have an excellent sunset and star gazing spot, with a great amount of privacy from the road. There is a lovely pergola with picnic table, grilling tools, cast iron grill in a double fire pit, shovel for the fire, standing charcoal grill, 1 hammock, log benches, hand washing jug, trash can, hummingbird and bird feeder, wind chimes and strategically placed solar lights. A few seasoned ECC; vets have dubbed it the 'Best Spot', we honestly still can't decide though... They are each so unique and present a different experience overall. We encourage you to try them all!

RV/tent site · Sleeps 200 · Vehicles under 13 m

Please note that this site books out the entire Ranch! You will have access to all 8 sites during your stay.

Site 8 "Cliffs"

I camped there back in August with my grandson and it was awesome! 6 weeks ago I felt like the Lord was calling me away by myself to the exact same spot. I arrived around 1:00 pm on Saturday and left Tuesday morning around 2:00 a.m. Landon was gracious and letting me come early. And I really appreciated that. This was a sabbatical for me and the Lord did not disappoint. There were questions that were answered and there were answers for questions that I wasn't asking. It was a very special time. Very private, there was one camper there when I got there Saturday and he was gone on Sunday I had the whole place to myself. Very quiet very peaceful, it is my place of Peace for sure. I will be back! Five stars all the way I love the fact that it is so far off the main road.

Site 1 "Star Gazer 1"

This was our second stay at Enchanted Circle. And it was great again. We love this place even more now, and we're determined to stay at every spot now. You're kinda close to the other star gazer sight but not too close. Just enough to see them every now and then. It's more of a big group site but that's all that was available and we enjoyed it. Definitely more on the open side. The views were great! And we were visited by a huge piggy in the morning. Thanks again Landon for the awesome place. We'll be back!

Whilst exploring the area we’d planned on camping in the National Forest until we found this gem. Such a great campsite for my pup and I. Being able to let her off-leash the whole time and how separated the Cliffs site was made it a perfect break in a long road trip. Will definitely be returning 🙏

This was our first time camping at E>> and we had a great time. The campsite was very clean and well maintained. Even though you are close to town and the activities of Angel Fire it feels like you are deep in the woods. This site had plenty of space and a great combination of shade and sunlight for solar and Starlink (not needed). We have Goggle Fi and AT&T and had great 5G service at our site. We will definitely come back and try and stay a little longer to explore more. Thanks for an easy low stress weekend!

Site 5 "Valley View" (Old Site 2)

While traveling for our honeymoon in New Mexico, we certainly found enchantment and connection here. The sites, surrounding grounds and homestead ranch with welcoming animals & hosts were all very charming. Sites were well equipped, well lit, spacious and private with quaint views. Bathrooms and games area were close by. We especially enjoyed seeing and interacting with the free ranging horses on the ranch and surrounding mountain forest. The hosts were extremely respectful, friendly and informative. We rented mini bikes which were a blast to ride and explore the ranch trails and surrounding state forest land. While hiking, I was able to find elk and mule deer. The farm fresh eggs and ground pork were both delicious! There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas of Angel Fire, Eagle's Nest and Red River with so many great folks. It's less than an hour from Taos as well. We'll certainly make this a top priority destination stop the next time we're in New Mexico and highly recommend you do so as well. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Landon & Family! - J & T

We loved our stay on Landon’s land. We were in Angel Fire for some downhill mountain biking and it was so convenient to stay just 5 minutes from the resort. The land is so beautiful and it was so quiet and peaceful and there was so much space. We could not see any other campers from our spot. It was so nice to enjoy the ‘extras’ like grilling tools and a grill and the water cooler to wash our hands. The toilets were very clean as well. It was also great to be able to fill up our water tank in our van when we left with the pure well water. The eggs from Landon’s chickens were amazing for breakfast as well.

This was one of our favorite campsites. Our campsite was huge, with an established fire ring with benches on three sides facing a beautiful view. Picnic table, grill, grill accessories, and even a hammock. This would be a great place with young kids because it doesn't have the traffic of traditional campgrounds. Just a short drive from Angel Fire town center. We had never been to Angel Fire and are so glad we came. Angle Fire is in such a beautiful setting.
