Stories from the community

1 night at Rio Grande Camp

This is a very convenient place to camp if you are looking to pull to the side of the road and spend the night. It is easy to find and right between Taos and Santa Fe. If you are in a trailer be mindful that there isn’t much room to turn around - we have a F150 and a 20 ft trailer and it was a tight squeeze. Also, the pad for trailers is right off the road - so you will be hearing traffic at a pretty close range - it dies down at night but people still seemed to be speeding by at all hours. If you have a tent you can go down to the bank of the river which feels more secluded and is probably a better bet. There is a nice beach-y area where we set up chairs and did some fishing - you could probably swim there as well. There is a free antique Gas Station museum less than 5 min up the road - that was an interesting find and a good side quest. The site itself is very clean and well maintained. Really the biggest thing to note is proximity to the road, but you also have proximity to the river :) very convenient location and a good place to spend a night while traveling.

Weekend Trip to Rio Grande Camp

Great location for exploring area (and numerous wineries). Easy to find once you know what you’re looking for (look for HipCamp flag next to road). Place is probably better for tents since that space is away from the road and right next to the river. The spot for an RV (or our rooftop tent) is right off the road and a bit noisy. Didn’t have any problems sleeping though.

4 nights at Little Canyon

We visited in early March, and landed there in a snowstorm pulling a 17 ft travel trailer. We ended up moving closer to Santa Fe for the sake of easier visiting with family, but Little Canyon camp is quite nice. On the primitive side because access is via a dirt road and driving into a meadow for sites. We had no difficulty accessing the site with our rig. It feels private, quiet, and fairly isolated, which fits our preference. I recommend this site during more weather friendly times of year

Weekend Trip to Agua de Vida

Great location! Hosts were helpful and friendly, site was peaceful and beautiful. Definitely would stay here again

2 nights at The Best view Of the Sandia's

This was really great for us, the host was super helpful and accommodating to us. Would definitely stay again!

1 night at Mesa Top camping

The site was nice and great for a tent. The view was beautiful. Our kids enjoyed pretending to perform on the stage nearby. The outhouse is kept well. The tavern downtown is open even during the winter season. The food was very good there.

1 night at Agua de Vida

Gated property with hookups, very private and peaceful

Weekend Trip to Rio Grande Camp

Amazing slice of paradise right off the road and right next to the river. Great place to stay for the night passing thru on a road trip. Some traffic noise but it died down as night went on. Fun trails to explore along the river. Thx for a great stay!

1 night at Mesa Top camping

Great little spot with a view! Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Kim was a friendly host who provided perfect institutions. Highly recommend! Had a wonderful 1 night stay in my rooftop tent with my son and our dog. Peaceful and quiet aside from the wind. Quick overnight retreat from Santa Fe. A+++

1 night at Rio Grande Camp

It was a great stop through New Mexico on our way across the US!! Such a beautiful spot that overlooks a river and is perfect for fishing or just relaxing. Easy to find and spacious!!

1 night at Mesa Top camping

Our dog loved being able to run free and not being tied up like most campgrounds. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Thanks for everything.

5 nights at Handy Spot RV Space Rentals

Terri was friendly and welcoming. Hipcamp glitched our trip request (not her fault) and she was so accommodating about it. We had a wonderful stay!

Weekend Trip to Castle De Rio

We enjoyed our stay, it was quiet, and the night sky is pretty out here. The hosts are very kind and good communicators. Very clear directions that are easy to follow. They had a trash can available which was very convenient. Even though it is cold right now, the lights were helpful for me and my small dog. We keep an eye out for coyotes being this close to the edge of the city, out here that that can be a cause for worry. I recommend bringing black out curtains. Over all, a very nice stay!

7 nights at Elk Ridge Ranch

We had a wonderful time at Elk Ridge Ranch! The peaceful atmosphere was one of the highlights of our stay, the only noise was only a tiny bit of road noise from time to time. The abundance of birds added to the serenity, and feeding the elk and bison was an unforgettable experience (they love marshmallows)—hearing the elk bugle was a real treat. The hosts, Dale and Susan, were incredibly nice and welcoming, as were their dogs. The ranch's pond is gorgeous and seems like it would be amazing in the summer, and the location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. Being on the ridge can be a little windy, but it adds to the charm of the landscape. The fact that it's a working ranch, without animal processing on site, made it feel authentic without being overwhelming. The do sell meats and jerky if you are interested. Again, that does not happen on site. There’s also some really cool equipment for kids (of any age lol) who are into that kind of thing. Overall, Elk Ridge Ranch is a peaceful and unique spot that offers a great experience for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking to enjoy the area. Highly recommended!

6 nights at Little Canyon

We loved our stay at Little Canyon! The property was the perfect spot for our trip to NM for some winter camping. Having this location made visiting several sites accessible, and we left knowing there was so much more to explore. Jesse is a wonderful host and made sure to check her messages regularly which helped our first night when arriving late from CO. We we also amazed by her ingenuity and dedication to creating green spaces- she built her own cabin, sauna, and green house using recycled and green materials! I whole-heartedly recommend this site.

1 night at Mystic Mountain Portal

Loved Alia’s spot! Very accommodating for me changing dates last minute

1 night at Agua de Vida

It’s a great secluded site with pretty easy access.

2 nights at Agua de Vida

The site was secluded and private. It was a perfect base camp to explore the area.

1 night at Mesa Top camping

We had a great time car camping on Kim’s land! Great sunset and sunrise views as well as an incredibly starry night. Easy to get to with our crosstrek and Kim was very friendly and helpful in getting us set up. Would definitely stay again!

1 night at Agua de Vida

Beautiful property and flexible, kind host. We very much enjoyed our stay.

River Sanctuary by Ojo Hot Springs

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · La Madera, NM

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the Carson National Forest right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3 acres right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives. Right by the river, held by a ridge (that makes for amazing sunset hikes), I have a 16ft Yurt Canvas set up with furnishings (desk, couch, wash stand) and a wooden Queen Bed with down bedding. This site can only be reached by foot across the river via stumps- a car can be parked near by.. approx. 50ft. I also have a Vintage Camper that can be heated, has a kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. As well as a monastic and very grounding Ensuite Bedroom, or a simple campsite if you want to bring your own camper or tent. All facilities have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house. I offer dog sitting while you soak at Ojo, healing modalities that you'll find in the Extras section, and my dear neighbor Jackie takes appointments for massages with homemade essential oils. +++ 6 miles to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area, with locally/organically farmed produce. The land is naturally and beautifully wild- it is not a manicured campsite. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August only. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and a repellent work great. Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away. *No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.

Agua de Vida

10 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · NM

This charming land has been in the family since my husband was a young boy. The Indian ruins and artifacts fascinated him then and he is still happy to share this history with whoever shows an interest. With all the improvements made by his father and family through the years, you will also learn to have a love for the history and beauty here on this unique 30-acre treasure. You can explore Native American ruins that were inhabited by some 2,000 people between 700-1100 AD. The grounds are wonderful to walk with a little lake which draws elk, deer, hawks, blue herons, etc. Easy to access just 3 minutes off I-25. We are 5 minutes away from the Pecos Natl Monument and 15 minutes away from the Pecos River with plenty of great fishing spots…Visit Santa Fe (20-minute drive) or Las Vegas (30-minute drive) with dozens of restaurants, museums, art galleries, etc. We look forward to your stay!

Mystic Mountain Portal

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Arroyo Hondo, NM

Small camp site surrounded by a sea of sagebrush, where heaven meets earth. Set alongside a private walking path that leads to the top of the Rio Grande National Monument and the rim of the iconic Taos canyon. Enjoy expansive earthly and celestial views and epic sunsets and moonrises over the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. I am just getting set up with hipcamp and don’t have much to offer beyond a beautiful camping spot on private property, on the very best of the Taos Mesa. I am currently very busy finishing the construction of my home, and work out here almost daily. I sometimes have visitors and work exchange staying on the property, but you will have a private and separate area to park and camp. If you are interested in earthen building construction or off-grid-life, I am happy to talk with you about it if time allows. I request that guests conduct themselves in keeping with the peaceful stillness and quiet of this landscape. Please no loud music. Thank you and welcome ✨

Rancho Algo Mas

1 site · RV, Tent7 acres · Ohkay Owingeh, NM

This land was previously undeveloped when we bought it in 2011, having only been used as horse grazing land and chile production in the 1960s. It is characteristic of inherited irrigated properties in the area and is about 150 ft wide and half a mile long that extends from the traditional irrigation ditch (acequia) at the top of the property to the river drainage. In the 1940s the Chile Line Railroad ran through here on the way to Espanola. Learn more about this land: Nestled in the river valley halfway between Taos and Santa Fe, near the confluence of the Rio Chama and the Rio Grande, this off-grid property is just north of Ohkay Owingeh, where indigenous settlements have existed for many centuries due to rich soil and available ground and surface water. In the 1500s settlers from Mexico came to farm land for New Spain. These historical Spanish and Native influences and identities run deep in this area, as well as the more recent influences of hippie dropout culture in Taos, Ojo Caliente, and Dixon. We have lots of book recommendations if you want to learn more about the complexity of culture and identity in northern New Mexico. Our 5 acres property is a narrow agricultural strip that extends from the irrigation acequia (ditch) at the top of the property down through a dense bosque (forest), ending in a path to the placid river bend of the Rio Grande. The campsites lie midway, among the privacy of the cottonwood bosque and adjacent pond. It is a short walk to a riverside perch with stairs to the shallow water and kayak launch. Other activities on the property include visiting the goats, chickens, and our friendly dogs, playing on the scrap-built playground, swinging on the pond swing, wading in the river, fishing, and doing some beginner kayaking the pond. This property is at its best late Spring through mid Fall when all is green, the pond is full and river is cool. Winter camping is still doable but may include snow, frozen pond, and leafless trees, and sandhill cranes. The site has a nice firepit and we have lots of wood. Summertime means mosquitos so come prepared with some serious sprays or creams- and don't bother with citronella candles, they won't be effective here. You will have a lot of privacy in the bosque, and it is relatively quiet from urban noise. You will be in agricultural and farm country, so you will be amongst the sounds of roosters, sheep, goat, peacocks and horses doing their thing in the farm land all around you. There can be dogs barking so if any of this noise bothers you you will want to bring earplugs.

Ulhr Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Arroyo Hondo, NM

For many years after a long winter of making snow and grooming, I always enjoyed returning to this piece of heaven outside of Taos. Through the years, friends and co-workers came to visit and enjoy the land and named it Ulhr (god of snow) Ranch. The house is being built with 1880s reclaimed lumber from the Gold Pan Dance Hall in Eagle Nest NM. We aim to be kind to the land and try to reuse any time we can.Learn more about this land:Come stay awhile at the Ulhr Ranch. High Desert Vistas gives your ears a rest from the noise of the city. Just a few hundred feet from BLM and Carson national forest and a beautiful hike up to Three Peaks. Only three miles away from the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument and the Rio Grande river with gold medal fishing, rafting and swimming. Three ski resorts just a short drive from the ranch. No matter the season, there is something to do at the ranch.
