Hi, I'm Shelly, the founder and host for our off-grid, high desert, community! Check out our website which tells it all! and our instagram @shanticommunity

The ten acres where our converted school buses, campers, bell tents and yurts reside is on a mesa a few short miles from the artist village of Madrid, New Mexico.

At Shanti we offer yoga, gorgeous hikes (including one to a nearby canyon), host yoga retreats, and often have food offerings (pizza from our brick oven stove and veggie burritos) and live music, all from our Dharma Bum Tea Bus.

Going to sleep and then waking to the sound of coyotes, owls, and nearby roosters, with 360 degree views is magical beyond description. Enjoy star filled nights, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets in our peaceful paradise.

## Overview

Riana Campground is located on a 150 ft. bluff overlooking the scenic Abiquiu Lake in northern New Mexico, just one hour northwest of charming Santa Fe. The lake sits at an elevation of 6,400 feet on the Rio Chama, a tributary of the legendary Rio Grande. 

## Recreation

Abiquiu Lake offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation. The fishing here is some of the finest in northern New Mexico.   
  
Visitors enjoy boating, water skiing, and hiking. Lake shore access for boat launching is 1 mile from the campground. 

## Facilities

Riana Campground hosts 52 campsites, 13 of which have electric and water hookups. Flush toilets, showers, and drinking water are provided, as are picnic shelters, grills, lantern posts, and tent pads. A playground and dump station are located on-site. 

## Natural Features

Fragrant Pinion pine, juniper, and sage cover the campsite, providing a distinct smell of northern New Mexico, but offering limited shade. Colorful rock formations surround the park.  
  
Visitors are awarded a panoramic view of the narrow mesa, Cerro Pedernal, locally known as "Pedernal." Famous American painter, Georgia O'Keefe, had her ashes scattered over its top. 

## Nearby Attractions

Northern New Mexico is full of beauty and history. The educational and historical Ghost Ranch is about 10 minutes from the park.   
  
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, San Pedro Wilderness, Cumbres Toltec Railroad, Chaco Canyon, and Bandelier National Monument are all nearby.

Ah, this campground is a desert oasis at the end of a busy day. The patio is a delightful resting spot in the shade, where you can watch hummingbirds whiz by. This is your home base as, day by day, you visit the Santa Fe Plaza, San Miguel Mission, Palace of the Governors, Loretto Chapel or Canyon Road, where you'll find many galleries and artists to observe. Summer brings an abundance of festivals to enjoy. And don't forget the wonderful local cuisine! Many restaurants are small family-run establishments, and the recipes handed down through the ages keep getting better. Relax at the campground and plan your next day's activities. Will it be the Rio Grande Gorge or a day touring Native American ruins? Whatever you decide, it will enrich your life. Max pull thru: 65 feet. Your hosts: Larry and Phyllis Pasekoff.
