Horner Hipcamp

15 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Radium Springs, NM

New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others. Located on the bank of the Rio Grande River with access to the river at all times. Property is rustic now, but improvements will continue to be made as time goes on. Come help me develop this beautiful location into the best Hipcamp in New Mexico. Just 14 miles of the Chile Capital of the World, Hatch, NM, 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, but 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!

JourneyTree Sanctuary

4 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Deming, NM

2 fenced acres of beautiful, secluded desert with a gorgeous view of the Florida mountain range only 13 miles from Walmart and the conveniences of town. Pets are welcome and can be happily off leash within the spacious fenced boundaries. It is a fence out area, so free range cattle are present and dogs must not be permitted to harrass them. We recommend closing the gate behind you to ensure the cows don’t join you in your outdoor experience! Due to the extremely rural nature of the mostly pristine wilderness around the property, there are lots of wildlife and we have seen coyotes, badgers, and more outside the fence. Normal precautions should be taken to protect pets when hiking off the property.

The best camping near Leasburg Dam State Park guide

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.
