Escape the crowds and reconnect with nature at Vida Bonita Pecos. Tucked deep in the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest, our three private campsites offer quiet seclusion, stunning views, and exclusive access to a peaceful slice of Northern New Mexico wilderness.
Full Description:
Welcome to your own private forest escape. At Vida Bonita Pecos, our two campsites are designed for those seeking quiet, space, and solitude. Set apart from each other and completely removed from any other campers, you’ll feel like you have the entire forest to yourself.
Each site is nestled beneath towering Ponderosa and Blue Spruce pines and Aspens. They offer level ground for tents, grill for cooking, and easy access to nearby hiking trails, Cowles Ponds, and the soothing sounds of the Pecos River. Whether you’re stargazing by your campfire or sipping coffee with the morning breeze, this is where relaxation lives.
Your campsite is part of the Vida Bonita Pecos complex, which includes beautifully remodeled cabins and the remodeled Ponderosa Lodge. While you’ll have total privacy at your site, guests are welcome to explore designated areas of the property, our trout pond, and free roaming chickens and turkeys.
We don’t pack campers in. No RVs. No generators. Just you, the trees, and a sky full of stars.
What’s Included:
Two secluded tent campsites (book one or both)
Access to filtered spring drinking water
Campfire ring (fire restrictions may apply)

Things to Know:
No other campers will be placed near you—guaranteed privacy.
Firewood available on request.
Check-in at our main lodge before heading to your site.
Come experience the slower pace of mountain life. Whether you’re here to hike, fish, write, or simply breathe, our campsites at Vida Bonita Pecos are the perfect place to begin your New Mexico adventure.

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.
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, Qigong, Climbing Into The Heart of the Mother Tree, Star talks and more!
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.

The Ortiz Mountains and enchanting Cerrillos Hills surround us. Our stars shine brighter than most, and coyote songs will remind you that you're dwelling amongst the high desert wildlife.The 1 3/4 mile road to Little Dancing Horse Ranch is not for everyone. I will reiterate this a couple times in this listing to make sure people understand that we live on a rocky, dirt road. Some folks find it not to be a big deal while others do. Most vehicles most of the time can make it fine if it's taken slowly although high clearance vehicles are ideal. During the rare big rain or snow 4 wheel drive may be needed. It's advisable to check the weather in advance.

Nestled in the bosque of the Abiquiu valley, filled with tall, majestic cotton woods and softly fragrant Russian olives. At sunset, the sky opens up to amazing beauty and the swallows begin their nightly swooping over the river.
Very near by are locally owned cafes and historic places to visit. The Abiquiu valley is filled with music, arts, studio tours, spas, hot springs, lake recreation, fishing, hikes, and so so many spectacular things to see and experience. Some nearby highlights include Abiquiu lake, Plaza Blanca and Ghost Ranch, with many hidden gems in between.
Reach out to us if you have any questions about local activities.
We have uniquely remodeled vintage and modern, trailers and an Airstream available to rent in a lush, grassy field .
The field is very open, we have some mature trees and have just planted some new, baby cottonwoods.
We have a screened in gazebo with a propane fireplace, a gas BBQ, outdoor shower, kayaks and hammocks for all to enjoy. Please do not be shy. Introduce yourself to the other campers. Share stories, make s’mores. Sing songs!!
Our yoga, meditation and meeting space is now open. If you are interested in booking this space for private use, please contact us to tell us what you are planning.
We, live onsite at the edge of the resort area.
Please respect our neighbors by remaining within the "Glamp Zone"
This glamp zone occupies only 1.25 acres. Part of our mission in creating this space is to bring folks together. We encourage campers to mingle. Maybe organize a group float down the Chama. The float from just above Bodes to our very own shore is wonderful. It takes about two hours. There is one challenging spot, but beside that, the float is calm and tranquil.
Please be aware, we have cats, chickens, goats, donkeys, horses and dogs that live on the property. Your pets are welcome only if they are guaranteed to not pester or hurt our posse of pets. Also, we will not tolerate excessive barking or inappropriate running around or bothering ourselves or other guests. You must pick up all your and your pets waste and take it with you when you leave.
We look forward to hosting you and sharing the fortune of this beautiful and stunning place. See you soon!!!

Learn more about this land:
Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the Carson National Forest right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3 acres right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives.
Right by the river, held by a ridge (that makes for amazing sunset hikes), I have a 16ft Yurt Canvas set up with furnishings (desk, couch, wash stand) and a wooden Queen Bed with down bedding. This site can only be reached by foot across the river via stumps- a car can be parked near by.. approx. 50ft.
I also have a Vintage Camper that can be heated, has a kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. As well as a monastic and very grounding Ensuite Bedroom, or a simple campsite if you want to bring your own camper or tent. All facilities have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house.
I offer dog sitting while you soak at Ojo, healing modalities that you'll find in the Extras section, and my dear neighbor Jackie takes appointments for massages with homemade essential oils.
+++ 6 miles to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area, with locally/organically farmed produce.
The land is naturally and beautifully wild- it is not a manicured campsite. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars.
With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August only. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and a repellent work great.
Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away.
*No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.

We're 15 minutes away from Taos and Arroyo Secco where you can enjoy great food, galleries and shopping, and 30 minutes away from the awesome Taos Ski Valley.Ideal for couples or families of 4 or close friends.

Potable water is available upon request, but we prefer that you BYO. Since I have to hike it out there, you must let me know what you need at the time of your booking.
This is a primitive shelter. There is no running water nor electricity (aside from a solar light). The solar will charge your phone, so bring your cord!

THE SPACE
The bell tent has a comfortable queen bed with fresh linens, pillows and comforter. Basket inside has additional pillows and blankets.

There is a water-saving shower head with an on/off mechanism. "Navy showers" are a must: turn on to get wet, turn off to lather up and then rinse off. With this method, more than one person can shower. To take advantage of the solar gain, best used in the afternoon or evening.
We offer soap, shampoo, conditioner and towels. There is a nice bench, lots of hooks to hang your towels/clothes, and a shower caddy. The area is private and secluded with solar lighting for nighttime use.
There is a separate sink (cold water only) and private enclosed toilet facility next to the shower area.
Guidebook in tent listing restaurants, bars, tap houses within 10 minutes drive and without need to go into Santa Fe.

The space itself had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen, bathroom with a shower, and a comfortable bed. It’s also secluded and offers great solitude surrounded by nature.

I can't recommend this site enough. We are still talking about it days later. The host was so welcoming, gave us a little tour, and told us information about the land and surrounding area. This place is an amazing vibe and experience with so many thoughtful details. It's comfortable, fun, there were interesting reading materials, everything to make coffee, a sink space setup, a heater, a spot to charge your phones, even a large mirror. A group of people could stay here comfortably as the space is setup with multiple sleeping areas. I also appreciated the little twinkle lights in the outhouse. There were solar lights around the area to light the way on arrival and we enjoyed the gorgeous dark sky and saw some meteor showers. We (and our pack) had such a comfortable stay here and it's clear the host puts a lot of love and care into it. If I'm ever in the area again, I would stay here in a heartbeat.

We camped at San Antonio Campground near Jemez Springs, which appears to be close to native lands — a really cool area to explore. There’s no cell service, so make sure to plan ahead. The campground itself was really nice and peaceful. We had a fire the first night and picked up some supplies at a nearby convenience store just a short 2–3 minute drive away. It rained both nights of our stay, so we spent the second night in our van, which was a short walk from our campsite. There was plenty of space for hammocks, and the area felt very serene. The nearby bathrooms were a great bonus. The only minor downside is that the road above the campground is somewhat close, so you do hear occasional traffic, though it was pretty sparse. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely camp here again!

Beautiful campground! I'd like to return. Well kept. I'd like to enjoy the hikes I didn't have time for. - - Thank you to the friendly and helpful camp hosts!

This is one lovely camp spot. I enjoy the tall shady pines pointing to the night sky chock full of stars. I experienced truly good camp hosts who enforced quiet rules and monitored the area with frequent cart tours. They cleaned the vault toilets every day. There are lovely trails throughout for easy to moderate hiking, a few rock mounds to clamber and explore. Be quiet and respectful, leash your dogs and discourage barking. Nature loving people are here. I will always return here.

We stayed 2 nights in July 2020 at Vista Linda during our stay at Santa Fe National Forest. The red rock canyon views were amazing! It's a pretty small area with not much privacy, and in our case not much shade either. Our site was near the restrooms and was visible to people coming and going. There are a few options further back that allow for more privacy, and shade, but we prefered to be close to the restroom. There is also a stream a stone's throw away that is good for hanging out in the water or just sitting on the edge and dipping in your feet. There was a campsite attendant, a friendly older woman, that came by daily to take our trash and give us a new bag. Beware there is no signal and the site was very dusty. Overall a good site.

We just returned from 5 beautiful nights at El Porvenir Campground. We arrived on a Wednesday around dusk at the end of September and there were plenty of available campsites for tents though we had a camping trailer and felt there were 3 spots that were available and doable for us. A Sprinter camping van was also joining us the following day. In total, 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed the warm days, cold nights with a campfire (and there's even a sanctioned area to collect firewood from, up the road accessible from camp), fall colors, quick creek showers (no soap, of course), and the hiking right from camp. The Beaver Creek trail was simply beautiful and the Hermit Peak trail long and a challenge. Pit toilets were clean & stocked well.

There is NO lake at Jack's Creek campground. The lake, Pecos Baldy Lake, is only reached by hiking 7+ miles up the trail (almost 3000' elevation gain).
It is a great campground, we love it, but those photos of a lake are deceptive.

Exceptionally clean and we'll maintained. Off the beaten path but not too far off. Stunning location and views! 30 total sites with 8 sites located in a generator free area so great for noise and exhaust avoidance. 3 sites that are a very short walk in over picturesque foot bridges. 3 sites that have historic lean to's (cabins) built in the 1930's. Pueblo ruins, gravesites and the Goblin Colony are all easily accessible by short hikes. Verizon wireless coverage. The Paliza campground also has a group site containing 2 separate loops. These are located 1/2 mile from the family campground keeping noise down. The larger of these group sites has a covered pavilion with 8 tables. Both loops have spectacular views of cliffs , sunsets and stars!

Note: As of late 2018, ALL campsites are reservable. Open sites are for one night only. We hosted here for the 2019 summer. Beautiful area.

Camped the night of 8/16/19 and didn't get any sleep. The party across the road started blaring dance music at 11:00 pm and didn't turn it off until 2:30 am. The whole forest sounded like a club. The music was interspersed with shrill screaming. I would hate to generalize about the camping etiquette here on other nights, but maybe the word will get out that this CG is for people who want to party while they camp?

Love it! Not far from Santa Fe, well maintained campsites and surrounded by trees :) They have no water this season, so make sure to bring your own!

Beautiful in late September-early October. The leaves change to a vivid yellow on all the Aspens and it is sure to impress the eyes!

Such a hidden gem. We loved this, just make sure you bring leashes for the dogs as park rangers will ask you to keep them tied up.

It’s nesteled up the hillside with loads of shade with sites really nicely spread out between trees so it feels quiet and secluded. Grab one of the outside spots at the top of the hill to get the scenery to yourself. And make sure to explore the trails nearyby, they wind all over the hills.

The falls aren’t as big as I wanted then to be, maybe the water wasn’t flowing as hard but more water would have been a nice site.

Went in March and it was a noteable 20 degrees or so colder at camp then down the mountain. Bring layers. Amazing staff and great campsite for groups. We were one of the few people braving the elements so we talked with the rangers to help us turn on and off the water so it wouldn't freeze in the pipes overnight. Huge fire pit cooking area. Amazing covered dinning area, with tables and benches. There were two latrines but only one we could use since the other had an ice mound in front of the door. Had the weather been warmer we would've spent more time at camp but we opted to do day trips to Bandelier National Monument and Kasha-Katuwe (Tent Rocks) National Monument. They were warmer and sunnier than our campground but such amazing cultural learning opportunities so close we couldn't pass them up.

This is a very nicely renovated forest service campground. The sites are all very level, electric sites are available and all sites have one of those posts with a hook so you can hang a lantern. There are so many things to do in the area it's hard to decide where to start. Santa Fe is just 8 miles away down the mountain. Hyde Memorial State Park is next door with hiking trails. There are lots of trails to choose from both above and below the campground along the highway. At the top is the Santa Fe Ski Area with more trails and chair lift rides. Try the lift when the fall leaves are at their peak!

This poor campground has an air of neglect. You're either going to love or hate this place. It's large and looks like it's being allowed to slowly decay. In the summer of 2016 I made two camping trips to the Jemez Mountains. I chose to stay somewhere else. There were less than 6 sites occupied each time I visited that summer. I got the impression no one visits to take care of the place very often. Of course, some of the people staying there looked like they really enjoyed having the place to themselves. I'd say if you're totally self-contained, you may really like it here.

I love this place! The road can be a little rough especially after wet weather. The views are great and there are lots of places in the area to explore. This makes a good base camp.

If you're looking for a spot in the Santa Fe National Forest that's easy to get to, you'll like this. There aren't many frills here but it's nicely situated along the creek and you can get a little way from the road. Most sites require you carry your gear from the car. They have vault toilets but little else.

We camped here and loved it. We almost always camp on Sun-Mon-Tues and usually the campgrounds are pretty deserted! There were a lot of spaces to choose from. Our site had lots of trails behind it-perfect to take the dog for a walk! While we didn't hit the hot springs at the campground, we DID hike up to San Antonio hot springs which was a bit more remote and beautiful. New Mexico is known for raining in the Summer months, so be prepared and take a tarp or something for shelter. Most of the sites in the forest don't have any covered picnic areas. The sites here had plenty of space, along with picnic tables, vault toilets and water faucets near the restrooms. Check out Valle Caldera if you're in the area-stunning!

Terrific campsite, right on top of the Santa Fe National Forest. If you follow the road until you can't go any further, you've made it. The campsites are close to the restrooms, adjacent from the big parking lot by the Ski Resort. There are two streams near by and multiple trails to choose from. The campsites are quite big; allowing the option to pick and chose where to pitch your tent. Make sure to stop along the way up at the view points!

Great spot, offers picnic tables with a roof over them. Beautiful views of the red rock canyons, you're right there with them! Very private campsites, you're in your own little bubble of trees. It's in the Jemez mountains so you're close to the Gilman Tunnels, Fenton Lake, and a historical landmark where you can walk through some ruins. Very neat spot! We came here when we weren't able to get a camp site at Fenton Lake and from what the woman at the bath houses told me, there are always open spots here because not many people know about that campground.
