Hotel Private Camping On The Pecos River (Santa Fe, USA)

About Private Camping On The Pecos River

This private area that was homesteaded by my great-grand parents back in 1867 is very beautiful, secluded and so peaceful. It is a six generation historical ranch settlement. There are three historical cabins in the area. Two cabins are listed through VRBO that can be rented. However, this listing is strictly for tent & RV camping only. You can start by waking up early and having your coffee while listening to the river or the Acequia which travels throughout the property. Enjoying the view of humming birds and mule deer moving through the river banks. Enjoy some of the best fly fishing in the world for Rainbow and German Brown trout without ever needing to go more than just a few feet on your own private section of the river. Later before lunch comb the area for arrowheads, turquoise and silver. The small now ghost town of Terrero was made famous as a busting mining town in the days of the old west. The original mine sets less than a half mile from the property across Hwy 63 from the entrance to property. After cooking some of those fresh cold water trout for lunch take a hike up the canyon in the middle of the Sante Fe National Forrest to see other wildlife. If the quiet seclusion is too much don’t worry, the town of Pecos is only about a 25 minute ride through the beautiful river canyon. The old Tererro General Store has closed since Covid & not sure if it will reopen. However, they may still have horse back riding, guided pack tours, and for the sportsman out there guided elk, deer, and bear hunts. Be sure to check out the Tererro General Store's Facebook page for activities and other amenities. For a more vibrant experience head to the historic town of Santa Fe which is about a 40 minute ride south where you will experience excellent southwest cuisine inspired by native chilies harvested from the area as well as native southwestern art, and heritage. The town also receives its fair share of entertainers from local bars to large scale concerts. Be sure to hit Jacolopes on Cerillos for great souvenirs and the Native Market at 'Old Towne' for authentic southwest jewelry, and art. After a day in town come back to a quiet evening, start a fire in the pit and enjoy the clearest sky you will ever see. The stars are countless and the evening air is cool, just like the perfect fall night, but in summer. At last you will be rocked to sleep by the sound of the rushing river outside. A true paradise awaits you. There are two community picnic tables that are available if not in use by other guests. There are trails up at Jacks Creek if you like to hike. There are local restaurants like Frankie’s Casanova, Casa De Herrera, the Shell Gas Station known as Ponchos, they have a small grill inside & the little Americana Hamburger stand across from the school has good food if you want to eat out but stay close by in Pecos. Santa Fe is 48 miles South from us which takes about an hour drive and Las Vegas, NM is North from us and takes about an hour as well. There is WiFi to surf the Web, video chat or FaceTime on the property. You are at about 8,123 elevation, therefore, WiFi is not guaranteed due to storms and winds. The nights and mornings are cool & the days are warm. There is always a breeze blowing off the river to keep you cool in the heat of the day. You will see wild ferns, mushrooms & native flowers. There are many different species of birds here as well. You will see the King Fish flying up & down the river. Yellow Finches playing in the bushes by the riverbank. And there are beautiful Eagles, Magpies, Stellar Bluejays, and many other species of birds. They are a delight for the bird watchers. There are many beautiful butterflies and hummingbird moths as well. It states there is one bedroom, half bath and shower only because VRBO listings are set up that way. However, there is NO bedroom or NO bathroom for the camping guests. There is a double seater outhouse on the hill, otherwise, u will need to bring ur camping toilet. You are welcome to bring a camping shower if you like. On the other hand, there is the river to gather water from if needed. There is a large field that has an Acequia flow from the Pecos River that runs throughout the property. You can fish out of that as well. So if you decide to camp in the large field, the Acequia water will be behind you. The camping area behind the main cabin is more secluded and private. For interesting reading on the area be sure to look up 'Pioneers of the Upper Most Pecos', and Beatty's Cabin. We would love for u to come and stay at our historical settlement. Fires r allowed as long there is not a band due to very dry conditions or very high winds. It depends on the conditions that the National Forrest’s put into place. It will have a sign coming up on ur right that will let u know or u can just ask before coming.just come & unplug from the busy hot city. U definitely will get rested & rejuvenated here.
