Second Stay and will be back

This was our second stay and it was great. So much so we plan to be back this year to get some fall colors in. The place is very quiet and peaceful. You will feel like you are alone in the back woods where someone set up a great camping site. The fire pit is huge and has benches all around. Solar lights and wind chimes are strategically placed in the area. There is a garbage can at the site so you don't have to go far to take your trash. If you want to experience the mountains in New Mexico and like peace and quiet, this is the place to go.

Peaceful Private Camping

Enchanted Circle Campground is not like most campgrounds. One, there are only 7 spots with a rumored 8th spot coming in the future. Two, the spots are generally big and filled with amenities. Our spot had a pergola, many solar lights, two fire pits, two hammock, a charcoal grill, log benches, fire tongs, hand sanitizer, a first aid kit, cooking utensils, etc. Third, the spaces are relatively far apart so you feel like you are the only people in the vicinity. The property has an outdoor family games area, two private ponds that you can fish in, and the owners animals that sometimes roam the property. There is abundant wildlife that make the property their home. In fact, that is what you usually hear is the wildlife. We heard a family of owls while we enjoyed a nice campfire. Sometimes you can hear loud traffic on the road that goes by the property. It is a reminder that you are not that far away from civilization. You can venture off the property for some of the other local restaurants or attractions. I don't know why you would leave the peace and quiet though. Some of the spots are tent only as you can't get a small trailer in. If you are a tent camper and have some friends, I would recommend site #3. Just be careful about the nearby cliff. No small children recommended for that site. I was jealous that we couldn't get our tear drop to that site. We were at site #2 and it is pretty big and can fit multiple trailers. We had a medium size tear drop and one tent with plenty of more space available. The road to the sites is a dirt road and there is evidence that is well maintained. The only regret is that we didn't have more time. Will have to go back and it is easy to see why so many people love this place.

Perfectly peaceful!

We stayed at ECC last summer and are counting down the days until we leave to head back!  It is absolutely beautiful and so quiet. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The site we stayed in last year was the Aspens and this year we are staying at the Cliffs.

Worth every penny

At $55/night I initially was a little skeptical. What is worth $55/night to pitch a tent. The owners here showed me. They really go above and beyond making each campground unique, hospitable, and artsy. There’s solar powered lights that come in at night that give just the right amount of festive touch without overdoing it or being too bright. There’s solitude yet connectedness. The spit we’re at, #3, is perfect for tents. Huge fire pit, great huge log benches, an awesome campfire cooking set, a charcoal grill as well, portapotty, trash can, water, and even a small welcome packet with cards and dish soap. It’s a lovely and thoughtful place. Just a hint of glamping - the perfect amount in my opinion. We’ll be back for sure. Oh the animals! How could I forget!?!?!? My daughter would come back for the pigs, goats, horses, cats, chipmunks, prairie dogs, and assorted other animals as well.
The owners are over the moon wonderful. Can’t say enough. One of the best camp sites I’ve ever been to.

Elbow Room

This is a private ranch on many acres. You cannot see any other campers from your site. No electricity but water is available near the owners home. This is boondocking in a very safe environment! You do not have to worry about anything. If you want to go in to Angel Fire and explore you will find plenty to do in this area or you can just stay on the ranch and hike, bike, ride ATV’s or just sit and watch the prairie dogs, horses, deer or whatever else decides to come by. The sites have fire pits, benches and even hammocks. I believe there is only 5 sites on this huge piece of property. The hosts made us feel comfortable and they came by every evening to gather trash.

Site2. Overlooking a meadow and watched silly prairie dogs all day.
