Best in New Mexico: 2nd place

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

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 4 "Lake View" Old #1

Great campground!

We stayed at site #4, great spot. We have a 27 ft trailer and were able to get in and out without too trouble. It was a little tight with the trees on each side. We loved the whole experience, this is the best campground if you're looking for privacy. We'll definitely be back!

Site 8 "Cliffs"

Wonderful area for tent campers and RV goers alike. Plenty of space especially where we camp e in the site 8. HIGHLY recommend the eggs and pork they sell as they are probably the best pork I've ever had. Sites are all very clean, scenic, with nice touches such as hammocks, grill + utensils, and some very gentle ground lighting that doesn't interfere with you ability to stargaze. It's also a stone throw from everything you might want to check out in AF. Landon is very pleasant and accommodating as was the few others we met on the property. Highly recommend!

Site 3 The Ridge"

The wife and I really enjoyed the view and the separation from other campers. Quiet there is what it is all about while camping. Thank you again for information when asked.

Site 8 "Cliffs"

Spot # 8 — Cliffs

We stayed at Spot # 8 — Cliffs. It was spectacular! Remote, pristine, beautiful. They provide such wonderful amenities (WATER, hand washing station, grill grate, tables and benches, hammock, basic cooking supplies, etc) that just make camping easier. Landon and Trent were very helpful and friendly. It was an amazing weekend and we’ll certainly be back. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer.
