Welcome to Plateau Hame de Colquhoun ( Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)
If you’ve ever felt like most campgrounds are either too crowded or too isolating, you’re not alone.
Some places pack you in like a parking lot. Others leave you completely on your own with no sense of connection. Plateau Hame de Colquhoun was created to offer something different in central New Mexico, just south of Belen:
A place where you choose your experience.
You can enjoy total privacy under vast desert skies — or pull up a chair by the firepit, watch an outdoor movie at golden hour, and listen to live desert music with fellow travelers.
A Different Kind of New Mexico Camping Experience
Camping here isn’t just about a site to park or pitch a tent. It’s about atmosphere, freedom, and options.
Quiet desert views
Space to breathe
No pressure to socialize
Opportunities to connect when you want to
A safe place to simply be yourself
This balance is what makes Plateau Hame de Colquhoun stand apart from typical RV parks and crowded campgrounds.
Off-Grid Friendly Camping with Real Support
Interested in off-grid living? Curious about boondocking? Traveling through New Mexico while learning how to be more self-sufficient?
You’ll find:
Off-grid friendly environment
Conversations around the campfire
Shared knowledge from real experience
A welcoming place for those exploring alternative living
Many guests arrive just to camp — and leave inspired by what they learned around the fire.
Outdoor Movies at Golden Hour
As the sun drops behind the desert horizon, the atmosphere changes.
Chairs come out. The fire is lit. A movie plays under the open sky.
Guests are always welcome to join… or enjoy the quiet from their own site. There is never an expectation — only an invitation.
Music in the Desert
One of the most unique parts of staying here is Music in the Desert, hosted by Advocatus Diaboli of Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Live original music, desert air, firelight, and a small gathering of campers creates an experience you simply won’t find at a typical campground.
It’s not a concert. It’s not a party. It’s an atmosphere.
