This quiet and tranquil setting is specifically designed for the RV traveler seeking a safe and peaceful city location for their Albuquerque stay. This site offers a respite from the congestion found in other parts of the city. The large fenced and gated one acre lot and unobstructed views provide a peaceful semi-rural setting that is difficult to find so close to town. You won't hear the constant buzz of passing cars in this area, just a bit of nature and plenty of peace and quiet. You'll also find less light pollution in this part of the city so after the sun goes down you can enjoy a great view of the stars and city lights. This is also a great location to watch the early morning hot air balloons take flight, or if you are looking for that perfect spot to take your daily run/bike ride without dodging cars or worrying about your safety. My wife and I are long-time Albuquerque residents and know the area well. We truly love it here and will provide whatever recommendations you require to ensure you have an authentic local experience. Ask about our extended stay discounts for stays over 3 weeks. Learn more about this land: We set out to create the finest RV site in the city by offering a private shaded patio with hot tub, gas grill and fire bowl, along a bistro table for outdoor dining. You'll love the 360° views from your patio, including our mountains and renowned sunsets. The location is just 2 miles from the Sandia Peak Tramway and the Sandia Mountain Wilderness (a hiker and biker paradise with 150 miles of trails). The property is fenced and gated. I-25 is 4 miles due west and I-40 is 8 miles to the south. All grocery and food service apps offer fast delivery, plus there are several supermarkets and restaurants just a few miles away.  You'll be staying in a high desert climate at 6000 feet so the nights cool off quickly in the dry air. The sun can be intense at this elevation so shade is provided on the patio plus shade fabric is available to cover your rig if desired.  We have some of the best tasting water in the city coming from our well to top off your tank and plenty of space in our trash cans for garbage.  PROPERTY AMENITIES & FEATURES• Private Hot Tub & Shaded Patio • Gas Grill • Fire Bowl • Fountain • Fast Wi-Fi • Spectacular 360° Views • Onsite Spa Services • Level 2 EV Charger • Chlorine-Free Well Water • Scenic bike paths 1/2 mile away • Tennis courts, parks, ice rink all within walking distance • 15 minutes to downtown • 10 minutes to the NM Rail Runner train station which will transport you to the Santa Fe plaza in 1 hour • Trader Joe's and numerous restaurants 2 miles away • Sandia Resort & Casino 6 miles down the road • Over 25 local restaurants will deliver to your door Other Nearby Attractions: Historic Old Town, National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, NM Museum of Natural History and Science, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Hispanic Cultural Center, Bio Park & Zoo   For Balloon Fiesta Guests: The site is 5 miles due east of the Balloon Fiesta Park and offers unobstructed mountain and valley views.

Or see an unobstructed view of all 500+ balloons from the property.

Great spot for the balloon fiesta.
This was our first camping trip on our RV and we loved camping at Jeff’s spot. He was kind and courteous, helped us out with questions and tips, and even had a portable tank so that we could empty our tanks before leaving. The neighborhood is gorgeous and we walked the dogs at night and felt very safe. A++ experience. The hot air balloon fiesta was amazing! Can see the mass ascension from his spot. Loved it!

Great location in Sandia foothills
Jeffrey's location is in a beautiful neighborhood and close to the tram up to Sandia Peak. In the early morning, the neighborhood streets give you a great view of the balloon rides down in the valley. We wanted to be on the outskirts but still in the city, and this was a perfect location. Our cats had plenty of birds to watch all day, and the property has lots of natural landscaping.

Safe, comfortable place to park while visiting Albuquerque. Jeffrey welcomed us when we arrived and made sure we had what we needed to get settled. We spent most of our time off site visiting friends, but his location was convenient for us to come and go from.

Great communication with Jeffrey. He sent an email with lots of good advice for the are which was super helpful. Electric and water hookups easy to use. Great separate garden space with hot tub. Felt safe during our stay and was fairly quiet.

Great spot for Balloon Fiesta
Jeff was there to guide us backing down the narrow driveway but quite doable. We have a 21 foot camper. Electric, wifi, water & dump wagon all provided. Trash & recycling containers easy to find. Location easy to get around Albuquerque; just 12 minutes to Balloon Fiesta field!
