    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Unbelievable Hot Springs w/ Camping Next Door

    This is another great spot in the New Mexican high country, especially if you’re a fan of hot springs AND vintage campers. In addition to full-hook up camping/ RV spots, the resort offers vintage campers for rent. It is a great and quiet place to rest, recuperate,

    and just enjoy yourself. 

    We stayed in the camping loop, and even with electricity and wifi available, had plenty of sunshine for solar power as well as good access for our Starlink. Cell service was pretty skimpy though. 

    The bathhouse at the camping area was well heated with wonderfully hot showers, flush toilets, and plenty of space. Water and a dump station was available in the camping area for an extra fee.

    Access to the hot springs spa was NOT included in the price for camping, and not inexpensive, but the variety of pools and the beauty of the place was worth it. They offer steam rooms, a multitude of pools of varying temperature and mineral content, in addition to a mud bath, lap swimming pool and full locker/ changing room.  They also offer full spa services, massages, etc.  It was very busy on the weekend with day-use customers, but going early or mid week was a far less crowded time. 

    The onsite restaurant/pub is a class act and delicious.  Nearby there are a few hiking trails right from the property, and with the national forest nearby there’s lots of outdoor adventures available. 

    The nearest grocery/ convenience store is just down the road, but the selection is pretty limited. The closest town with full services is in Espanola about 30 minutes away.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Super quite location

    My wife and I just spend two days at this RV resort. Its attached to the Ojo Caliente Spa Resort. The spaces only had eletric and water. The eletric and water outlets where placed in an odd location for the site and a dumb station is available for extra $20. One thing we both noticed about the RV park was how quite it was at night. No campfires in the RV park but the spa area had a big fire pit lit every night and where there so many of the RV community hung out there. It gave us a chance to meet our neighbors and talk traveling. We spent one whole day at the spa and was given a discount on its entrance price while staying at the RV park. There is also a great restaurant on site. We where traveling in a 34 foot 5th wheel. Cell service is spotty.

    Great views

    Nice area, seems like 3+ camping areas, I stayed here for about 4 days. Some fire pits and good views on the drive up. Road was not busy. Verizon signal was spotty. Most of the time I did not have any signal.

    Ponderosa Campground

    The River runs through it

    The website listed for this campground is correct Ponderosa campground Antonito, CO.

    Phone 719.376.5857

    This is a very relaxing place to stay and it seems like most of the people there have been there many times before. The drive in is easy on Route 17 and does not require a vehicle with high ground clearance. They do allow campfires, they have clean bathrooms and a shower house. I stayed in a backpacking tent after driving all day arriving on a Friday at about 4:00 PM. The campground is set-up for small campers and has some cabins for rent too. The bathrooms with showers are clean and comfortable. The sites have fire rings with grates and picnic tables. The owner manager is great, providing quality fishing advice, conversation and even a free cup of coffee in the morning. Hiking on the CDT is near the campground and fishing is right in the campground. The steam train is right up the pass and I happened to be there the night before opening day catching a photo when I drove over the pass to Chama New Mexico. The Cumbres and Toltec Train traveling between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico. This is a very nice drive and Chama is a cool place to visit, it is a trail town on the CDT.

    I will visit this campground again for sure.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Love the Soaks!

    This place is great for staying close to the baths and getting the full experience while also camping.

    The sites are a bit tight for our liking but not many folks were camping this weekend (2/12/22). The bathhouse was nice and heated, which is a plus this time of year.

    We also missed having a campfire and there didn’t seem to be a communal fire going on as referenced in other reviews.

    Great overnight option with Hot Springs

    If you have a pet and want to overnight versus stay at the Casitas, it’s just a short walk to the spa and hot springs (20% discount). RV/campsites offer simple flat overnight spaces and picnic benches. On-site showers too.

    Lake Fork

    Beautiful

    Pretty sure when I was there the campsite was actually closed, but it was easy to drive up to with a large parking lot for what seems to be launching boats on the lake. Gorgeous, quiet and secluded.


Guide to Los Ojos

The Los Ojos area sits in northern New Mexico at elevations over 7,500 feet, creating a mountain climate with cool evenings even during summer months. The region connects to the Carson National Forest and Rio Chama wilderness, offering dispersed camping options beyond the established glamping sites. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing, making seasonal availability important for visitors planning glamping near Los Ojos, New Mexico.

What to do

Hiking to Chimney Rock: Access the famous trail directly from Ghost Ranch, where you can experience the dramatic landscapes that inspired Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings. "Beautiful site - decent camping. This is a beautiful campground in a unique spot with incredible hike. Great amenities - showers, ice, refrigerator, sink for washing dishes," noted one camper who particularly enjoyed the combination of outdoor adventure and amenities.

Fishing the Rio Grande: The confluence of the Rio Grande and Red River creates exceptional fishing opportunities near Cebolla Mesa Campground. The 1.5-mile trail down to the river rewards anglers with secluded fishing spots. According to a visitor, "There's a 1.25 mile hike down to the river to cool down. Plenty of shade and lots of off road trails for driving/running/biking."

Riding the scenic train: The historic Cumbres & Toltec Railroad operates near Los Ojos, offering day trips through spectacular mountain scenery. "Not much in town to do but there is the Cumbres & Toltec train to ride. Lots of hunting and fishing in the area," mentioned a camper at Twin Rivers RV Park & Campground who enjoyed this local attraction.

What campers like

Hot mineral springs access: Many visitors to boutique camping and glamping sites near Los Ojos appreciate the healing mineral waters at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa. "The entire staff is helpful and kind, especially Danny on the grounds and Annie at the restaurant. The best part is that you get early access to the pools, you'll have them nearly to yourselves 7:30-10am and 20% off admission," shared one satisfied guest.

Dramatic canyon views: Campers consistently mention the spectacular vistas from camping areas overlooking the Rio Grande Gorge. "Beautiful views of the river as well as the sunrise. It's a bumpy 3 mile road off the highway, had no issues in my transit van as long as you take it slow," reported one visitor to Cebolla Mesa Campground about the stunning location.

Private riverside sites: The peaceful sound of running water enhances many camping experiences near Los Ojos. A visitor to Pagosa Riverside Campground noted, "We only stayed one night but would definitely come back. We had a nice large tent site right by the river. No trees on this site but the view and the river made up for that."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Many campgrounds in the area have limited seasons due to high elevation weather conditions. "The campground is open April 15-Oct 15," warned a reviewer about Riana - Abiquiu Lake, highlighting the importance of checking operating dates before planning a trip to glamping sites near Los Ojos.

Road conditions to remote sites: Access to more secluded camping options requires planning for unpaved roads. A Cebolla Mesa visitor advised, "There are six free fcfs campsites 3.24 mile dirt road which is fine in dry weather but can be treacherous when wet. Nice view of gorge."

Alcohol restrictions: Some public lands and campgrounds prohibit alcohol consumption. A camper at Riana - Abiquiu Lake warned, "There is NO alcohol allowed in the park so don't get caught with any they will pour it out. 2 Older men were having a beer in their site & they made them pour out 2 cases of beer."

Tips for camping with families

Campgrounds with kid-friendly amenities: Select sites with facilities that accommodate children. A visitor to Pagosa Riverside Campground mentioned, "Very quiet at night & during the day other campers kids were having a blast. Near to town & activities." The property includes a small lake where families can paddle and fish.

Age restrictions at hot springs: When planning luxury glamping near Los Ojos with children, note that not all facilities welcome young visitors. "I would have given this property 5 stars but they've become unfriendly to families. Children under 13 are not allowed in the hot springs," shared a visitor to Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The region offers chances to observe native species in their natural habitat. "The view was beautiful and it's a short hike down to wade in the cool water. I really enjoyed the quiet here," noted a visitor to Ponderosa Campground about the peaceful setting perfect for wildlife watching with children.

Tips from RVers

Hookup considerations: RVers staying at established glamping sites should verify hookup availability. A camper at Twin Rivers RV Park & Campground shared, "The spaces are Huge lots of room to roam. Full hookups 50/30amp. No wifi but very good Verizon and AT&T service."

Alternative hookup arrangements: Some campgrounds have unusual utility configurations. "The hookups are on the passenger side and towards front of TT we had enough hose and cords to reach. It says they have loaners if needed," explained an RVer at Ojo Caliente who managed the unconventional setup.

Winter RV options: Glamping in an RV near Los Ojos during colder months requires planning. "Our truck broke down 1 mile from the ranch and we weren't sure what to do. We ended up staying there for about five or six days while the truck was being fixed in Albuquerque. Completely unplanned. It's probably important to know this is not a remote campsite because there's lots of amenities," shared an RVer who unexpectedly experienced Ghost Ranch's winter hospitality.
