Flight down driveway from entrance to Campsite 1

You can see for miles and miles, almost to the New Mexico border!

March was a BUSY month! Part 1

 

Another March, 2026 visitor

“Great location!

Loved the location and saw a beautiful night sky! Host was very responsive and helped us when we got lost”  Leighton

Yes, we sometimes get snow, but rarely!

We even get visitors when it has the rare snowfall

“The location, very much off the beaten path, is definitely worth the drive! It’s boondocking, quiet, beautiful, and better than expected. The owner was kind and generous to share his lovely land and beautiful piece of nature.”  Shelly

A little Halloween action

Happened to have a visitor on Halloween, my birthday, but I wasn’t there to share my birthday with them.

Halloween visitor, no trick, but a nice treat!

“Quiet and very secluded

Be sure to follow his directions not the GPS or Google. His are much easier to get here otherwise you’ll be driving down 5 miles of dirt road and it gets rough. It’s a beautiful property covered with Piñon and Juniper Pines.  There was another guest here, but we both had privacy. Great stay”  Stephanie

“Boondockers paradise!”  Chuck

Even huge schoolies can camp here!

This was the first schoolie to camp out at RVR.  Unfortunately, she cut the corner too tight and the right rear wheels went off the driveway into the mud and got stuck.  There are only a couple times during the year where enough rain is received to make the ground muddy.  The volcanic dust turns into a very slippery mud called gumbo.  There are even tires made specific for gumbo.

Robynne had to bring in a tow truck to get her unstuck. As more rain was expected, she had to cut her visit short to avoid more problems.

Beautiful sky over Ridge Valley Ranch
