Padilla Ranch is a 375 acre historical ranch that includes the ruins of the Tajique Indian Pueblo which dates back at least to the 1500's. 50 acres will be designated for HIP CAMP. In the Tewa language, Tahiki means"where the grasslands meet the forest." It is one of the oldest pueblos, if not the oldest, pueblos in the United States. The natural feature of Padilla Ranch is it is located on the East slopes of the Manzano Mountain range and contains numerous pinon, junipers, pine and oakbrush trees that provide perfect environment for such wild life as elk and deer. The Tajique Creek runs through the Padilla Ranch & is generally a live stream and includes a dam which furnishes water for the Tajique acequia system (which is a historic irrigation system) . Padilla Ranch also contains numerous hiking trails, horseback riding trails nearby. The Manzano Mountain wildness is located approximately 7 miles west of Padilla Ranch in the Cibola National forest where in the Fall, there is a large maple, oak and aspen forest, which is one of the largest in the country. Spacious Wilderness camping is one of the most attractive features of Padilla Ranch for tent and other forms of outdoor camping.

Site 12 - Padilla Ranch! Trees & open spaces
Great accommodation
Pat set us up in the perfect spot to camp out. It was away from other camps with lots of room for our vehicles and trailers. The trail was a lil tight, but he was quick to trim down some trees and brush and give us easy access to the site.

The whole area is quite beautiful and the spaces are tucked away in the woods with lots of space, shade , and privacy. Pat and Wanda cam by each evening to check on us and were very friendly and accommodating. Be aware that cell phone reception is practically nonexistent. But, that's why we camp, right?

Site 9 - Padilla Ranch! Trees & open spaces
Beautiful, quiet and secluded spot for hipcampers! Pat's camp spot includes electricity and delicious well water! We were totally able to unplug from city life and relax and enjoy country living at it's best! We enjoyed our visit from Pat and learned alot about the area. We saw a few deer and the night sky was amazing! We will definitely be back! Thanks for a memorable weekend!
