Detailed directions to their place (don't trust Google maps, trust the directions they give), friendly greeting and tour of the space- they have a composting toilet, music studio, and are working on a shower space. Flat camping spots for tent camping- very minimal light made the stars stand out which was awesome to see, even with the fuller moon the milky way was visible.

I loved camping on Melodie and Brent’s land! The views were beautiful and the campsite was quiet. Directions were clear and I felt very safe as a solo camper!

I loved the scenic area all around out on the plateau, the hosts were really nice. Worth the drive just make sure have a vehicle with at least ok clearance and you should be fine.

Melodie, Ann, and Brent were gracious hosts. They invited me to hang out with them and watch Brent and Ann perform some cover songs for their online show.
The campsite had beautiful views, and I felt safe camping alone. Thank you for your hospitality!

This was an excellent place to stop. We talked to Melodie and Brent. They were the nicest people. And you have to say hi to their dog Amigo. Beautiful stars. It was a wonderful place to unwind.

Friendly, accommodating, organized. She provided a sweet welcome packet to orient us to the site, was responsive to texts, and the site seems well-kept. Incredible night skies here with almost no trace of light pollution. Would definitely stay again.

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
A beautiful place to stay on open land stretching for as far as you can see! As others have mentioned, it is ~10 miles of bumpy bumpy roads, so I'm glad we're staying for more than one night. Mel + Brent are welcoming and friendly. Wouldn't be surprised if we come by again in the future!
Queer + POC safe.

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
Beautiful spot, nice area to explore and walk around. Hosts were very gracious and welcoming. I would recommend a vehicle with decent clearance for getting there but we didn't require 4WD

We booked a last minute trip to see the balloon festival in Albuquerque and it turned out great! The views were incredible and Melinda and Brent were so hospitable. It’s about an hour drive from the festival, but we would absolutely stay here again next year. Highly recommend.

The view at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun is amazing. It is a really unique spot. Brent and Melodie were incredibly helpful and accommodating. As others have noted make sure you have plenty of time to reach the grounds before sunset.

First, Melodie and Brent live on this land. They are awesome hosts, giving you a quick rundown of the property then letting you go do your thing. Felt like we were alone the entire time. Views are awesome. Stars at night were spactacular. Everything we wanted! FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY AND TAKE YOUR TIME GETTING THERE.

Melodie and Brent are the most friendly and accommodating hosts. Be sure to follow their detailed directions, and allow plenty of time to get there before sunset. It took us almost an hour after taking exit 191 off I-25 to reach the camp. We have a towed car with very low clearence so we were going really slow.
But once we get there the place is breathtaking, unobstructed views for miles in all directions. The only distractions we had during our weeklong stay were a few free-roaming cows walking by. Time slows down here. Perfect place for watching sunrise and sunset, stargazing, and pondering the meaning of life :)
The Mesa is untamed land so you do want to bring the essentials you need. You will have the best experience here if you are self-sufficient.
We got to talk to the host family about their plans to develop the land, and to preserve its beauty at the same time. They have great ideas and they are hardworking folks, but most of all, their hospitality truly heartwarming. We wish them best of luck, and hope to visit again in the future.
P.s. the Verizon cellphone signal was surprisingly good in this area.
