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!

Ditch the phone, bring the family and experience life again !
Easy access to the property with bladed dirt roads and bring your fishing poles as Trees Lake is 18 miles NW of Deming. Off grid experience so pack accordingly. Additional supplies if needed are about 20 miles away in Deming.
The properties are being used in 1 acre parcels, for privacy ! Experience Blazing Saddles Style fun and wave to any neighbors there friendly. Sunsets are incredible.
If your flying and renting an RV -El Paso Int Airport 90 Miles SE, from the Land of Enchantment.
Experience life from the 1800s, enchanting sunsets, peaceful with nature as New Mexico is a free range state, so you may see life stock of other animals from time to time.
There's forever views of the Florida Mountain, Good Sight and Organ Mountains. This is the old wild west open plains setting giving you the ultimate feeling going back in time.
Rock hound State Park and Trees Lake Sit on the other side of the Florida Mountains About 20 Minutes Away! more things to do!
Cooks Canyon, There are so many things to explore here, old abandon mines, and the famous Fort Cummings used in the 1800s to protect from Indian raids. And water falls etc.
Bill Evans Lake Sits about 80 Miles NW of Deming it is home of the biggest bass ever caught at 15 ls 13 oz and 26.5 inches long.
The property and surrounding views, Mito Road, Caminto Road, Solindo Road and El Ensueno Road are all decent bladed Roads. They sit just south of El Bordo Road, the main drag off Franklyn Road and there is a cable box along El Bordo.
Take NM 549 to Franklyn Road. Head south 2.5 miles to El Bordo Rd then head East 1.5 miles to Mito Road. USE THE GPS.
The property located in Luna County about 45 minutes from West of Las Cruces NM, it's a rural countryside setting off Franklyn Rd about 20 minutes SE of Deming.
I suggest you bring a dedicated GPS like a Garman and more reliable then your phone. Be smart print out map, bring a shovel, water, food blankets, mace, a dog and anything else you might need if you get stuck for a day or two.

Welcome to BNC Farms!
We are located smack in the middle of desert in Chaparral, NM. We have two short term rentals on the property. The Desert Dome and Harvey the Skoolie. Both are unique stays. We love to show people the beauty the desert has to offer. We also live on site and are around to answer any questions or help you out.
We want all of our guests to be able to enjoy their stay and have as much privacy as possible. Both stays have a fire pit and their own hang out area.
There are farm animals on the property! Your fur babies are welcome, we only ask you keep them leashed at all time.

Ditch the phone, bring the family and experience life again !
Easy access to the property with bladed dirt roads and bring your fishing poles as Trees Lake is 18 miles NW of Deming. Off grid experience so pack accordingly. Additional supplies if needed are about 20 miles away in Deming.
The properties are being used in 1 acre parcels, for privacy ! Experience Blazing Saddles Style fun and wave to any neighbors there friendly. Sunsets are incredible.
If your flying and renting an RV -El Paso Int Airport 90 Miles SE, from the Land of Enchantment.
Experience life from the 1800s, enchanting sunsets, peaceful with nature as New Mexico is a free range state, so you may see life stock of other animals from time to time.
There's forever views of the Florida Mountain, Good Sight and Organ Mountains. This is the old wild west open plains setting giving you the ultimate feeling going back in time.
Rock hound State Park and Trees Lake Sit on the other side of the Florida Mountains About 20 Minutes Away! more things to do!
Cooks Canyon, There are so many things to explore here, old abandon mines, and the famous Fort Cummings used in the 1800s to protect from Indian raids. And water falls etc.
Bill Evans Lake Sits about 80 Miles NW of Deming it is home of the biggest bass ever caught at 15 ls 13 oz and 26.5 inches long.
The property and surrounding views, Mito Road, Caminto Road, Solindo Road and El Ensueno Road are all decent bladed Roads. They sit just south of El Bordo Road, the main drag off Franklyn Road and there is a cable box along El Bordo.
Take NM 549 to Franklyn Road. Head south 2.5 miles to El Bordo Rd then head East 1.5 miles to Mito Road. USE THE GPS.
The property located in Luna County about 45 minutes from West of Las Cruces NM, it's a rural countryside setting off Franklyn Rd about 20 minutes SE of Deming.
I suggest you bring a dedicated GPS like a Garman and more reliable then your phone. Be smart print out map, bring a shovel, water, food blankets, mace, a dog and anything else you might need if you get stuck for a day or two.
Be safe and have fun. She’s a beautiful earth. We only get one shot out here and see all she has to offer. Robert the explorer.

The sites and grounds were very neat and clean. Sites were plenty large enough for our class c rv. The hook ups were well maintained and water pressure was great. The only negative we have is that there was only one rest room, otherwise a great place to camp.

I was the only camper on the grounds and enjoyed the peaceful solitude. I enjoyed the company of some birds that we don't see in the east. The only negative was that I was expecting the riverbed to actually have water in it. Carolyn informed me when I arrived that there won't be water flowing until they release water from the dam in May.

Larry is a wonderful host and his camping spot is beautiful! Convenient location that was shockingly quiet. The quarry trucks that Larry mentions in the description did start to go by around 6:30am, but we were camping on a weeknight and were grateful for the heads up. Overnight when it counts, all we could hear were distant coyotes. Highly recommend!! Thanks, Larry!

Overview
About
Leasburg Dam State Park has the most breathtaking views on the Rio Grande! Fish off the side of your canoe while the sun sets behind the mountains, blazing the sagebrush red and orange. Explore the trails and watch for birds and wildlife, or take your camera over to the cactus garden for those classic southwestern shots. There’s lots of campgrounds to rest up when the day is over, but you won’t wanna miss the show after the sun goes down. Leasburg Dam has an observatory and for good reason; the night sky out here is second to none and the park often offers Night Sky programs and walks. This is a win-win for those looking for fun and beauty on the water.
Nearby attractions
Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument is a breathtaking destination offering unforgettable camping experiences beneath starlit skies, thrilling hikes through rugged peaks, and a chance to uncover ancient petroglyphs.
