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.

Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Maybe not great for a last minute trip, host was unprepared and confused about the date of booking. I offered to delay arrival until she was ready and the response was a bit rude. She also said her neighbor was watching her dogs and they were roaming free until she got home but I could just show up with my dog after she accepted the reservation request. Didn’t think it was a good idea to show up without the owner there. Wide open space with neighbors far away but with full view of site. 20 minute walk to the gorge. Did not feel very welcome or comfortable. I have Verizon and it dropped down to 2 bars so working late didn’t go as hoped. You want a little higher clearance for your undercarriage on the final leg of the journey to site. It’s definitely more reasonable than other options in the area.

Only stayed for a short time, but I was blown away by the view and the walk down to the cliff. The sage bushes filled the air with an amazing smell. I felt so safe the whole time. Would love to come back again with more time on my hands! Alia’s so sweet and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend

This spot is gorgeous! The views are stunning, the site is just as described. You can walk to the gorge (it’s a good walk!) and soak in the sage brush the sunset and the stars. Alia was super easy to communicate, kind and informative. The site is super private and easy to access. Thank you for having us!

Such a beautiful place! Alia made sure that we were stocked up on fire wood and was very hospitable! Helped us find the campsite and pointed us in the direction of the gorge, a must see!
