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!New to Hipcamp, but want to share my beautiful property with others.

Great Spot Down by the River!!!
We loved the spot by the river, a lil buggy so get a lil fire started right away to ward them away. Carolyn came out to meet us when we arrived and made us feel right at home. She even had some firewood for us. Great spot would highly recommend!!!

This campsite was a wonderful find! The place is along the river and it’s beautiful. Carolyn was also responsive and very helpful. I drove my Prius onsite with no problems.

Truly an amazing camping trip. It’s so out in the open & the fresh smell of pine just hits you all throughout. However, at night, oh my goodness at night this place is beautiful. The night sky was so clear & vivid, it was my first time ever seeing the night sky like that. Definitely coming back very soon!

Ride the Rio Grande (peak flow)
The Rio Grande was flowing! Much needed cool down in high/dry heat days. We setup our Teardrop 50ft from river and watched the river go by. At least 2 spots with shade some time a day. Dusty, hot sand hard on dog feet all around except great spot by river. Carolyn was super friendly and helpful. Fun to hear about her plans and progress tricking her farm out for campers and daytrippers on the river. She provided is life jackets, and offered float tube. We tied a rope to shore tree, backed ourselves in (sharp drop off) and sat in the cold current. Wonderful. Might feel crowded with more than 2-3 parties...depends on whether you are social! If we are in the area again, we'd repeat. Well water was a short walk up from river; tastes eh, not super. W
