✨ ABOUT US — PLATEAU HAME DE COLQUHOUN ✨

A Campground With a Twist — Music, Movies, Oddities & Off-Grid Magic

Welcome to Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, home of Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center, a one-of-a-kind desert destination where camping meets creativity, music, and unique desert entertainment.

We are not a commune. We are not a collective. We are a privately owned off-grid campground and event center designed for individuals, families, and travelers who want something a little different: a desert getaway with music, movies, events, and community — all without sharing your living space or your lifestyle choices.

🌵 WHO WE ARE

We’re a desert homestead turned quirky entertainment hub — powered by solar, creativity, and a love for the New Mexico desert.

Guests come here for:

  • Music in the Desert live performances
  • Open mics & talent shows
  • Karaoke nights & movie nights under the stars
  • Seasonal events & Halloween fun
  • Unique desert camping experiences
  • Privacy, solitude, or time away from others — your visit is yours to make however you wish

We are a campground first, an event center second, and a place where adventure, creativity, and fun collide.

🎶 OUR ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY

We’re proud to host and collaborate with:

🎤 Advocatus Diaboli & The Grim Leafer Band

🌞 OFF-GRID LIVING — WITHOUT THE COMMUNE MYTH

Yes, we live off-grid. Yes, it’s solar-powered and sustainable.
But this is a campground and event center, not a group-living community.

Visitors enjoy:
✔ Camping in private sites
✔ Event experiences like live music, movie nights, and open mics
✔ Temporary membership stays
✔ Guidance and community from like-minded neighbors

You don’t have to live off-grid to enjoy it — you just get to experience it on your terms.
