New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others. Located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Property is rustic now, but improvements will continue to be made as time goes on. Come help me develop this beautiful location into the best Hipcamp in New Mexico.
Just 14 miles of the Chile Capital of the World, Hatch, NM, 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, but 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!

We had a wonderful time in TorC and loved our stay in the Winnebago. It was so cute and well decorated and had everything we needed and the host was wonderful, met us at the gate when we arrived, showed us around, and gave us some good recommendations for the area. This was our favorite accommodations on our cross country road trip. Thanks so much!!

Carolyn went above and beyond for us. We booked a last minute spot due to some really bad weather. The land is so beautiful and her vision for what’s to come is exciting. The space was level which I’m so thankful for after a bad night elsewhere. Unfortunately the river was low but that is out of her control as the damn has to be opened. If we ever pass through this part of the country again we will for sure be back for longer than a night.

A beautiful place to stay right on the Rio Grande. If you want to see water in the river, go after May 1st as that's when they open up the dam. It was still a beautiful spot, and we can't wait to come back to see all the things Carolyn has planned for her little piece of heaven.

What a great time! Beautiful backyard, walking distance to a state park with trails, easy to get in and out of!
I cannot recommend enough stopping by Kevin’s Place and exploring the area for a few days!

Carolyn’s land is a peaceful spot right on the Rio Grande. The view across the river is stunning. I enjoyed having a picnic table and spigot. The icing on the cake was host Carolyn. She popped over shortly after I arrived, touched base to let me know of another camper who’d be showing up, helped me out when I got myself into a pickle - and even waved good bye. Her home is across the road - plenty far away for privacy, yet close enough if you happen to need something. I was there during a dry, windy March time. Definitely check out the slot canyon hike down the road. Also an easy spot if you have pups along.

Carolyn is a delightful host! The property is a work in progress, but even with that my stay was wonderful. I parked next to the river with a view of the hills on the other side. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful and the night was very peaceful. Next time I’m in the Las Cruces area. I plan on staying at the same place again.

Nice stay! The spot was easy to back into and there were several amenities in the yard that we were welcome to use. He has a dog that was very friendly and got along great with our dog. Kevin made sure we had everything we needed and then left us alone. Perfect!

The site was beautiful, quiet and easy to find. Carolyn was a welcoming and fantastic host. The train coming through was cool to see as well. We will definitely be coming back with the kids!

Carolyn is one of the most gracious hosts we have ever met. She collected firewood for us before we arrived and gave a full refund when we had to leave early. This has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in over 50 years of camping!
We can’t wait to return in the Spring!

This location is great! All hookup were well planned and in good shape. The campground was well maintained and well marked. While it is next to the highway, the noise was pretty minimal. A huge bonus is the on site store. With a smattering of essentials at reasonable prices, we didn’t find ourselves scattering or driving stupid distance for a simple half gallon of milk. Highly recommended!

We rented riverside #53 with all the hookups. The camp host was welcoming and friendly. A big difference from our last visit a year ago. This camp host even gave us some of his firewood and some firestarter so we could have a relaxing evening by the campfire. The campsites are kept clean and everything you need is right on the site. A great place for a bike ride or morning and evening walks. We can't wait to go back. No issues leaving and coming back to camp with our permit displayed on the window.
