Finding Peace in the Struggle: The Emotional Side of Living Off-Grid Under the Desert Sky
Living off-grid is a dream for many â but few truly understand the emotional strength it takes to live it every day. At *Plateau Hame De Colquhoun* (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center), we embrace both the beauty and the hardship that come with desert life.
When the winds howl and sand fills every crack of your home, it can test your patience and your spirit. The isolation sometimes feels endless â miles from the nearest neighbor, surrounded only by silence and stars. đ
But then, as the sun sets and the sky opens up to millions of glittering stars, the peace returns. In those moments, every hardship becomes worth it. Living off-grid teaches resilience, gratitude, and connection â to nature, to simplicity, and to yourself.
If youâve ever dreamed of desert living, come experience it with us at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**. Whether youâre camping for a weekend or considering the off-grid lifestyle, thereâs always a lesson and a bit of magic waiting under the desert sky.

From Trailer to Toilet: Our Desert Campground Build from the Video Vault!
From Vault to Desert: Our Compost Toilet Adventure at Ka-Hoon Campground
Out here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, every project has a storyâand some of those stories are hiding in our video vault! Throughout October, weâll be sharing older videos from our **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun YouTube channel** to give you a peek at our journey moving to New Mexico.
You may also remember our older channel name, *Art of Tiny Living*. While that chapter helped define our beginnings, weâve since grown into something biggerârooted in music, events, camping, and desert life.
This featured video shows us moving the hut (our compost toilet building) from the trailer it was attached to, into its new place where it would eventually serve as the **compost toilet** for campers, visitors, and event-goers. Itâs one of those âmake it workâ projects that shaped the campground as it is today.
If youâre curious about **off-grid living, unique camping experiences, or just want a to see some of our early projects**, youâll want to watch this one!

Desert Roads Flooded After Just a Few Drops of Rain! Free-Range Cattle Loving It đ§đ
Desert Rains Bring Surprising Floods Near Ka-Hoon Campground
Out here in the desert, it doesnât take much rain to change the landscape. Over the last couple of days, weâve had a little rain at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Centerâbut not much at all. Just a few miles north of us, though, the roads told a different story.
Check out the video to see a few flooded spots, including one where free-range cattle were happily wading through the water. Itâs amazing how such a small amount of rain can cause puddles, washouts, and mud across the mesa.
Thatâs desert lifeâone moment itâs dry and dusty, and the next, the roads are soaked. Even if we donât get much on our end, the surrounding areas can flood quickly, and it can take a few days before the roads fully dry out.
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert means embracing these surprises. From music echoing at Ka-Hoon Campground to cattle enjoying rainwater pools, the mesa is always full of unexpected beauty.

đ„ Camp, Music & Movies in the Desert â Youâve NEVER Seen Nights Like This at Ka-Hoon Campground! đ
Camping Fun, Music, and Movie Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground đ¶đ„đŹ
Camping at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** isnât just about pitching a tent and swatting mosquitoes (though we do have the desert version of those). Here, camping comes with a *side of laughter, live music, bonfires, and even movies under the stars.*
Imagine this: Youâre sitting around a glowing bonfire, marshmallow in one hand, maybe a cold drink in the other, and suddenly you hear the sound of **Advocatus Diaboli** rocking the desert air. Thatâs rightâour off-grid campground turns into a stage every **Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night**. Music, laughter, and a lot of fun echo across the mesa.
And we donât stop at music. Nope. We bring the movies outdoors, too! On **October 11th**, grab a seat (or a lawn chair if youâre smart enough to bring one) for a double featureâ**Beetlejuice 1 and 2** projected under the wide desert sky. Who needs a movie theater when youâve got popcorn, stars, and just enough creepy desert silence to make Beetlejuice feel *extra real*?
But wait, thereâs more⊠On **November 1st**, weâre taking things up a notch. Join us for a **night of dancing around the bonfire**, where youâll draw your intentions, goals, or things youâre ready to change in the sand, and then stomp them into the desert ground! Therapeutic, symbolic, and a little bit hilarious if your âstompâ looks more like an off-beat dance move (donât worry, nobodyâs judging).
At Ka-Hoon, we believe camping should be memorableânot just for the stars above, but for the memories you make with others around the fire. Whether you come for the music, the movies, or just the peace of the desert, youâll leave with a story worth telling.
So, grab your tent, your sense of humor, and maybe some extra-long marshmallow sticksâweâve got the music, the movies, and the fire waiting for you!

4 Years Off-Grid: Our Journey to Plateau Hame de Colquhoun & Ka-Hoon Campground Begins
Four years ago today, our journey to a new way of life began as we arrived in Belen, New Mexico. That first night, we stayed at Walmart, our trailer loaded with everything we could fit for the next chapter. Early the next morning, we unloaded at a storage unit before making our way to the land that would become our home.
Living off-grid has always been our dream, and settling here felt like the start of something truly special. It’s not just about surviving but thriving in an environment that encourages connection with nature and self-sufficiency. Those first days were a whirlwind of setting up camp, exploring the terrain, and figuring out how to make the desert our home.
Since then, we’ve grown in ways we never imagined. Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center has become more than just a place for usâitâs a place where others can come to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with themselves and nature. We’ve hosted countless events and provided a safe, judgment-free space for people to enjoy the beauty of the desert.
Our philosophy is simple: life is too short to fit into someone else’s box. Weâve built a community where people can embrace who they truly are, free from judgment. Here at Ka-Hoon, you’re welcome to be yourself, no matter what that looks like.
Weâve also experienced our fair share of trial and error along the way, learning that not everything works out as plannedâbut that’s okay. Weâve adapted, tried different approaches, and ultimately created a space where others can also step back, breathe, and try again. Whether itâs through themed camping nights or unique events, Ka-Hoon is a place to reset and find a new path forward.
As we look back on the past four years, weâre grateful for the challenges, the growth, and the community weâve built. We invite you to be a part of it and experience the peace, freedom, and adventure that come with living off-grid in the heart of New Mexico.
