Just three short miles from Oliver Lee State Park, our primitive camp doesn't yet have all of the amenities of the state park, but we offer amenities the park doesn't! Your Camp Host, Chef Üdø, is onsite most days and evenings, and has 30 years' experience in the catering and private chef biz, and as a camp host. He's happy to coordinate hot meals for you and your companions! No more need to go into town to get a pizza or some icky fast food! We will make you a homemade pizza, dry-aged steak, brined chicken, buffalo burger, or lasagna...all in-house. Vegan, vegetarian, kosher, low-sodium, and most other dietary restrictions are no problem! We'll bake you a birthday cake, brownies, pie, or even Crème brûlée! Contact Chef Üdø for more details and please check out our menu in the “Extras” section of our campsite listing. We can make just about anything in our sanitary kitchen facilities. We cook with a spirit of Love and inclusion in our kitchen, and it shows! ❤️ Chef Üdø maintains current local food handler's certification, as well as HAACP federal certification. Prices are friendly and competitive with local restaurants. Vacuum-sealed frozen meals, aka “sous vide” available for most recipes. (Please check “extras” section for more detail) We offer a 15amp electrical connection, access to clean running water, and access to our 4 acre back pasture. And if you prefer a more luxurious camping experience, we offer a BnB experience in our amazing rooftop tent!! This package includes exclusive use of the entire campsite, as well as a catered meal for two! We feature unparalleled views of the sunrise over the mountains, as well as convenient access to the park and Lincoln National Forest, White Sands National Monument, BLM off-road parklands, and nearby Alamogordo. Firewood available onsite for friendly prices (provided there isn't a current burn ban). **Be among the first to experience the most luxurious tent camping in our SmittyBilt Overlander Gen. 2 XL rooftop tent! Crisp, freshly sanitized linens, soft fleece or cotton blankets available. (Please note rental is *only* for the rooftop tent. Jeep rental is not available). For warmer months, we provide Air Conditioning for the rooftop tent at no extra cost!

Campfire setup, breakfast and omelette bar also available. ***Please note we do not yet have a handwashing sink but provide a spigot or water hose.Our mountain view campsite is located inside a converted antique steel corral. It is situated at the back of our land and is accessible by a separate entrance. Privacy screen is provided on the back side of the campsite, leaving an unobstructed view east towards the beautiful mountains of the Lincoln National Forest. The sunrise over the mountains is spectacular most mornings (see pics) and the stargazing at night is amazing! Your host, Chef Üdø, is happy to have dinner or lunch waiting for you when you arrive! Please contact the Chef for menu options. We are happy to accommodate tent campers, pop-ups, vans, small RVs, and rooftop tent campers in this site. **We also offer a rooftop tent for rent by the night. Linens provided**. Ground is level. There is a composting toilet onsite. We don’t have a handwashing sink yet, but it’s coming soon. This campsite is set on 5 acres. While you can see our neighbors houses off in the distance, we only rent two campsites on our land at a time, so you will have privacy from other campers. ***We are especially happy to welcome Veterans, motorcycles, and tree-hugging Hippies :D. Love for all included!

My family and I had a great time camping on Chęf-Üdø’s property. He was very accommodating and personable. The mountain views were an added bonus. You MUST add his cooking options to your trip—it’s absolutely incredible food that we won’t forget. We really appreciate him and highly recommend this Hipcamp!

If you're going within 100 miles of this place, you should detour. OMG. Chef Üdø’s FOOD. He was incredibly nice and helpful and friendly in a way that didn't crowd, the land was quiet with a beautiful night sky, he had potable water that was easy to access, and his composting toilet was the cleanest and least stinky I've experienced in 6 months of lots of different composting toilets, but all of that paled compared to THE FOOD. I had his vegetarian tacos, chocolate cake, and snickerdoodles, and all three were divine. I've never had tacos with the ingredients he used and I'll think about them forever. The chocolate cake had me stopping just short of licking the tin foil. And my partner and I agreed that we should probably not tell either of our moms about the snickerdoodles, as they both have recipes they're proud of for them. Can't recommend a stay here highly enough!

Chef Udo is a plethora of knowledge with cooking skills to match. He and his family went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and safe. Working while traveling also has an added element so rest assured, Verizon gave me enough bars to download work files without too much delay no matter where on the property you end up setting up. I booked at the last minute which meant no brine chicken but after a chat he came up with several options that would be feasible and it did disappoint! A home cooked meal while driving cross country topped any expectations. After a long day of travel this place, the view, the people and the food have made it one of my all time favorite hip camps. As a single woman traveling I would absolutely recommend for anyone, especially the brave women solo travelers. Do yourself a favor and order some food too.

Chef-Üdø made us a great gumbo dinner (which can be ordered as an extra once you hit ‘reserve’ on the app) and set us up with a fun evening camp. He had a good recommendation for a local hike which we enjoyed taking the next morning.
