La Cañada de Adelaida - Des Montes
Of several dozen Hipcamps I have tried, this one stands out as among the best. Don is an incredibly gracious host, sharing his land, company, family history, and amenities. You will want for nothing. Plus, the location is excellent, and the campsites varied and comfortable. I will be back as soon as possible!

Camp 1 - Dragonfly Mountain Ranch
LOVED it
We could not imagine a better stay for our first time in Taos! This is a lovely piece of land, where we felt like we had total privacy, with really amazing views. We watched the sunrise over the mountains in the morning, glorious sunsets over the western plains in the evening, and spent hours looking at the Milky Way right over head. The fire pit and (VERY clean) portapotty were extra bonuses. It's near Arroyo Seco, a cute town with good food, shopping and ice cream, and a short drive to Taos.
Don was an exceptionally welcoming host, and made sure that we had everything we needed, gave us a ton of information about the history of the land and area, and provided great suggestions for what to check out and how to spend our time. He even sent us over to his family home nearby to pick plums from their orchard and use the hose. Cannot recommend this hipcamp highly enough, and we cannot wait to come back on our next trip!!

Tio Willy's Rest Stop-Taos Plateau
Amazing spot
Truly can’t say enough about how lovely this spot is— if you’re self sufficient and don’t need anything (potable water, for instance) and love a gorgeous 360 degree view to yourself, this spot is for you! Don is awesome and gave us helpful directions for a more remote spot. Seriously check this one out!

Camp 1 - Dragonfly Mountain Ranch
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had the best time!! Not only was the camp spacious, we had 360 views of the mountains, plenty of fire wood, and the best host you could ask for! Don was incredibly kind and helpful, showing us places we never would have found on a Google search. He shared so much of his own life, family and history of the town, including the property's apricot and plum trees (which we got to pick from!) and one of the oldest houses in the area which has been in the family for generations. He was so generous, driving two of our group to wheelers peak trail head, while showing the other two around town during the day. He also brought us to some wild hot springs in the Rio Grande! We came across a poor lost pup after the hot springs and Don did everything he could to ensure it was taken care of. We love a fellow animal lover! Could not have asked for a better stay our first two nights in New Mexico. I will absolutely be coming back. This is a one-of-a-kind stay.

La Cañada de Adelaida - Des Montes
As our rig didn’t fit in the space we selected. Don relocated USA to another site.
Easy access to a isolated section of ground with sweeping views all around and dark skies until a light rain ran us inside. We had a perfect night. We would stay here again.
