Best in New Mexico: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
The Enchanted Circle Campground sits on the Avalon Ranch. It is 161 owned acres surrounded by a state trust lease. We are very proud to have been voted #1 Campground in NM 4 years in a row. We have 8 RV/tent sites to choose from. Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Potable water is available as well as a portable toilet. Wi-Fi is available at the office and fishing lake. For cooking, you will have a fire pit, with a small grill. With the grill, you will have tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. A fire extinguisher and a shovel. The property was originally homesteaded in 1893. It was also the first potato farm in NM. It has seven ground-fed springs that run year-round. They converge after filling 4 of our ponds in the marshland where the potatoes were grown. A family of 4 lived in the first dwelling built here, not much larger than a shed. Since that time 2 homes, 1 of which still stands, a barn, a smokehouse, and 4 outbuildings were constructed. There are old wagons and farm equipment from the late 1800s and early 1900's still strewn about the ranch. We are home to Huge herds of Elk, mule deer, turkeys, prairie dogs, eagles, black bears, 9 horses, chickens, pigs, goats, our 3 dogs and 3 cats, and the occasional Mountain Lion. We live here year-round. We love our land and want to share it with others. I am a Veteran and our intent is to eventually have a Veterans Retreat facility here. Not a retreat itself, but rather a location for all of the retreats, nationwide, to be able to utilize, so they can use the funds they have to do what they do best. You are helping to make that possible. We do pride ourselves on minimally impacting our land. We strive to keep it clean and as close to nature as we can. We encourage you to leave it better than you found it, as it is only making it that much better. We encourage you to get out and explore. Trailblaze. Be a pioneer. Go wherever you feel lead. And as always, Veterans, LEOs, and Fire Fighters are always free for one night up to 4 guests.

Site 1 "Star Gazer 1" old #5
Star Gazer!
This was our second stay at Enchanted Circle. And it was great again. We love this place even more now, and we're determined to stay at every spot now. You're kinda close to the other star gazer sight but not too close. Just enough to see them every now and then. It's more of a big group site but that's all that was available and we enjoyed it. Definitely more on the open side. The views were great! And we were visited by a huge piggy in the morning. Thanks again Landon for the awesome place. We'll be back!

Site 8 "Cliffs"
Exceptional Find
Whilst exploring the area we’d planned on camping in the National Forest until we found this gem. Such a great campsite for my pup and I. Being able to let her off-leash the whole time and how separated the Cliffs site was made it a perfect break in a long road trip. Will definitely be returning 🙏

Site 6 "Valley View 2"
This was our first time camping at E>> and we had a great time. The campsite was very clean and well maintained. Even though you are close to town and the activities of Angel Fire it feels like you are deep in the woods. This site had plenty of space and a great combination of shade and sunlight for solar and Starlink (not needed). We have Goggle Fi and AT&T and had great 5G service at our site. We will definitely come back and try and stay a little longer to explore more. Thanks for an easy low stress weekend!

Site 7 "The Pines"
Exceptional camping in NM
This was our third year to stay at ECC and it keeps getting better! We really can't say enough great things about camping here. The sites are perfectly maintained, the restrooms are well cleaned, and the views are wonderful. My girls love playing volleyball and going down to visit all the critters, too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
