Urban Permaculture Gardens.........

Not a very helpful description or o

The description said there were “sites” for a campervan, which I thought would be on their land/gardens. Turns out it is just their driveway, which was in full sun and right next to the road. The gardens are just their small backyard, and it appeared very densely landscaped. And the bathroom is in their small home. This just wouldn’t work for me due to complete lack of privacy, and my dog and I would have roasted in my campervan. I didn’t stay. I asked for a refund, but haven’t heard back from the hosts.

Healing on the Rio Grande

Ernesto and Michaela have such a lovely property! I’ve camped there twice and both times have been taken back not only by the serenity of their garden, but by how accommodating and generous they are. Would highly recommend!

Tent 1633

My partner and I had a lovely stay. Ernesto greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. Anytime we had any questions, he was happy to answer. We came for the Balloon Fiesta and found it pretty easy to get up for the early mornings and get ready for the day. The only issue we really had during our stay was all the mosquitoes hanging out in garden area but it was still pretty warm during the day so it made sense and it was no problem once inside our tent. Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful people! Beautiful garden! Ernesto and Michaela were wonderful hosts! We stayed in our tent in their garden. It was magical. It was our first time in a hipcamp and will not be the last. Any hosts going forward will have big shoes to fill after staying here! Thank you Ernesto and Michaela!

Semi-Urban Camping at its Finest!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mother Bosque Gardens, hosted by the wonderful Michaela and Ernesto in the charming Los Griegos neighborhood of Albuquerque. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in tranquility and beauty. The gardens are a serene oasis, perfect for relaxation and reflection. Access to the site is incredibly easy, making it a hassle-free getaway. Michaela and Ernesto are truly exceptional hosts; their warmth and hospitality made me feel right at home. They shared their extensive knowledge of the area, recommending local spots and hidden gems. Their openness and willingness to share stories added a personal touch to my stay. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty, ease of access to the city and surrounding areas and welcoming hosts, Mother Bosque Gardens is the perfect choice. I can't recommend it highly enough!
