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.

Beautiful camping spot!
Absolutely amazing and beautiful! Loved all the amenities. Being able to have wood delivered to your site is the best.

Site 5 "Valley View" Old #2
Enchantment Awaits!
While traveling for our honeymoon in New Mexico, we certainly found enchantment and connection here. The sites, surrounding grounds and homestead ranch with welcoming animals & hosts were all very charming. Sites were well equipped, well lit, spacious and private with quaint views. Bathrooms and games area were close by. We especially enjoyed seeing and interacting with the free ranging horses on the ranch and surrounding mountain forest. The hosts were extremely respectful, friendly and informative. We rented mini bikes which were a blast to ride and explore the ranch trails and surrounding state forest land. While hiking, I was able to find elk and mule deer. The farm fresh eggs and ground pork were both delicious! There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas of Angel Fire, Eagle's Nest and Red River with so many great folks. It's less than an hour from Taos as well. We'll certainly make this a top priority destination stop the next time we're in New Mexico and highly recommend you do so as well. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Landon & Family! - J & T

Site 7 "The Pines"
Private outdoors!
We had a great stay at site 7, it was very secluded and private. We ordered firewood and fresh eggs to our campsite. Definitely a smooth process. Enchanted circle is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back!
