Supporting Ka-Hoon Campground: Ways to Help
Lately, we’ve received a few emails asking if we would set up a CashApp, Venmo, or even an Amazon Wishlist for donations. While we truly appreciate the thought, we’ve always been independent and prefer to earn our way. However, we understand that some of you genuinely want to support us, so we’ve been brainstorming ways to make that possible while staying true to our values.
We know times are tough for many, and uncertainty is everywhere. If you’d like to support us but can’t camp, attend an event, or visit in person, we suggest sponsoring a membership. This not only helps us but also provides an opportunity for someone else—a family or individual—to have a safe place to set up their homestead or simply enjoy a space where they can be themselves.
As for the Amazon Wishlist, we’re not sure what we’d include. Would campers and members benefit from extra tents, cooking supplies, or maybe some essentials for the dogs? Our storage space is limited, so we’d love input on what might actually be useful.
We’re not wealthy—funds are always tight—but we’ve built everything we have through hard work and determination. We’ve occasionally received small donations from campers, which we see as tips for the experience we provide, and we’re completely okay with that. However, we don’t feel comfortable simply accepting money or gifts without giving something in return.
If you truly want to help but can’t visit, the best ways to support us are:
✔️ Sponsor a membership to help others access our space.
✔️ Share our website and videos to help more people find us.
If you think we should create an Amazon Wishlist, let us know what items would be most useful! One camper donated some ready-to-eat meals (REMs), which we’ve shared with campers and community members—and, admittedly, enjoyed ourselves!
Your support, in any form, means the world to us. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center—Where Highland Spirit Meets Desert Serenity.
Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center—Where Highland Spirit Meets Desert Serenity.
Colquhoun, pronounced *Ka-Hoon,* bears the proud legacy of one of Scotland’s ancient clans. The timeless phrase, *“I am in cahoots with someone,”* finds its roots in the bonds of kinship forged by the Colquhouns. Even the famed melody, *“Loch Lomond”*—known for its refrain, *“I’ll take the high road, and you’ll take the low road”—* marches to the rhythm of Colquhoun pride.
Why share this tale? Because here at Ka-Hoon, we honor our Scottish heritage through every stone and flame. From the **Bothy Kitchen** to the **Hearth**—our grand firepit—and the **Cahoots Courtyard**, our grounds echo with the spirit of camaraderie and tradition.
This year, we set forth to weave even more threads of Scottish culture into the fabric of our desert haven. So gather ye clans, wanderers, and wayfarers—raise a cup, share a tale, and let the echoes of history guide your journey at Ka-Hoon!

Unforgettable Christmas Memories – From Farm Chores to Sledding Adventures Under the Stars!
Merry Christmas from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!
Growing up on a **small dairy farm in Minnesota**, Christmas wasn’t about extravagant gifts or long vacations. In fact, there were no days off—not even for the holidays. The cows still needed milking, the calves needed feeding, and the barn needed cleaning. But despite the hard work, my parents always found a way to make Christmas special.
I can still remember the smell of something delicious baking in the oven as we bundled up and headed out to do chores. By the time we were finished and cleaned up, the house was filled with warmth and the promise of a **home-cooked meal**. After dinner, we’d gather around and open a few gifts—most years, it was **new plastic sleds**.
Those sleds were more than just gifts—they were invitations to laughter and adventure. After opening presents, we’d bundle up again and head out into the **cold Minnesota night** for a few hours of sledding under the stars. It didn’t matter how tired we were from the day’s work; those moments brought us together and made the day magical.
### **The True Spirit of Christmas**
Looking back, I can’t recall most of the other gifts we received, but I’ll never forget the **smells of baking**, the **laughter at the dinner table**, and the **fun we had sledding in the dark**. Those memories remind me that **Christmas isn’t about the gifts—it’s about the moments we share and the joy we create together.**
At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, we carry that same spirit into everything we do—building memories, celebrating traditions, and bringing people together.
This Christmas, whether you’re spending it with family, friends, or your campground community, may you find joy in the **simple moments** that make the day special.
**Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Ka-Hoon Campground!**

Ka-Hoon Campground: A Safe Space to Embrace Your True Self and Enjoy Themed Camping Nights
Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center: A Safe Place to Be Yourself
Life is too short to try and fit into someone else’s box. At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, we believe in embracing who you are and celebrating individuality. Here, there’s no pressure to conform to societal expectations or mold yourself into something you’re not. Instead, we offer a safe and welcoming space where you can feel free to be yourself, outside the box, and in your element.

There’s nothing wrong with standing out and being different—here, it’s celebrated.

We aim to create a space where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background or way of life. Whether you’re introverted, outgoing, unconventional, or simply looking for a place to unwind without judgment, Ka-Hoon is here for you.
### Why Ka-Hoon is Different
Over the years, we’ve learned through trial and error how to foster an inclusive and open-minded environment. At Ka-Hoon, our only rule is to **respect yourself, others, nature, and local laws**. This simple approach allows for a space where people of all walks of life can come together, relax, and enjoy the beautiful desert surroundings of New Mexico.
We’re also introducing **themed camping nights** next year, providing a new and exciting way to experience the campground. Whether you’re looking to enjoy karaoke, talent shows, or adult trick-or-treating, there’s always something unique happening here that makes it easy to connect with like-minded individuals.
### A Space Free of Judgment
The world can be full of places where people feel judged or misunderstood, but Ka-Hoon is a haven for those who want to escape that. Whether you’re an adventurer, a creative, a free spirit, or someone just looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with who you truly are.
### Book Your Stay Today
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we’re more than just a place to camp—we’re a community that encourages individuality and personal freedom. Life is too short to try and fit into someone else’s version of who you should be. Come visit us, take a deep breath, and embrace the beauty of standing outside the box.
You can book your campsite through one of the platforms on our website and join us for an unforgettable experience in the heart of the New Mexico desert.

Tarantulas Invade Our Campground: A Sign of Thriving Nature?
A Crawly Encounter at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
Yesterday, as we enjoyed a cool evening and visited with a neighbor, we had an unexpected visitor—a tarantula, out on the hunt. Just the night before, another neighbor had a similar encounter when a tarantula crawled onto her leg. Though usually comfortable with these eight-legged guests, the surprise startled her.
This year, we’ve seen more tarantulas than ever before. Is this an omen or a sign of a thriving ecosystem? We’ve also noticed an abundance of dragonflies, which we know are indicator species and a positive sign for our area. But what about tarantulas?
Do these arachnid visitors suggest our environment is flourishing? We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with our eight-legged neighbors.
Keep your eyes open and enjoy the natural wonders around us here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.
Until next time, happy camping!
