Day One in New Mexico: Rain and Puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground

Day One in New Mexico: Rain and Puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground

Day One of Polo’s visit to New Mexico started with something we certainly didn’t expect to become such a big part of the story: rain and puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.

Located in Central New Mexico, Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is an off-grid campground surrounded by mesa landscapes and the wide-open scenery of the Rio Grande Valley. When the rain arrives, the landscape can look completely different.

Day One at Ka-Hoon Campground

Polo was just getting started with the visit when the weather began changing. The first puddles started appearing around the campground, creating reflections across the ground and giving us a completely different view of the New Mexico landscape.

For a place known for its dry, rugged surroundings, watching rainwater collect across the campground is something worth documenting. These first puddles became the beginning of a much bigger weather story.

New Mexico Rain Changes the Landscape

Rain in the desert can create a dramatic transformation. The puddles in this video are from Day One, giving us a starting point for following the weather as the rain continued.

What We Saw on Day One

  • Rain moving across the Ka-Hoon property
  • Puddles beginning to form around the campground
  • Changing conditions across the New Mexico landscape
  • The beginning of Polo’s visit to Central New Mexico
  • A different perspective of off-grid campground life

Off-Grid Camping in Central New Mexico

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center offers an off-grid camping experience in Central New Mexico. There is something special about seeing the property in different weather conditions.

Sunshine, clouds, storms, wind, and rain can each completely change the appearance and atmosphere of the mesa. This video captures one small moment from the beginning of Polo’s visit.

Day One Was Just the Beginning

These puddles were only the beginning of the weather story. As the rain continued, conditions around the campground changed, which is why we wanted to capture these early moments—from the first puddles on Day One through whatever came next.

Sometimes the unexpected parts of a camping trip become the most memorable. What started as a rainy day became another chapter in the ongoing story of life at Ka-Hoon.

About Ladron Peak and the New Mexico Landscape

Ladron Peak stands as a striking landmark in the Central New Mexico landscape.

I Refused to Make 2 Trips! 😂 5 Gallons of Water & 2 Shower Bags in ONE RV Haul!

I Refused to Make Two Trips! 😂 One-Trip RV Hauling at Ka-Hoon Campground

Sometimes being lazy actually means making more work for yourself! 😂

I absolutely despise making multiple trips, so when I needed to haul things inside the RV, there was no way I was making two trips. I decided to load myself up and get everything inside at once.

And surprisingly? It wasn’t even that bad!

What Was I Carrying?

This wasn’t exactly a tiny load. I was hauling:

  • 2 shower bags
  • 5 gallons of water
  • Everything in ONE trip
  • From outside into the RV

Why make two trips when you can just carry everything at once? 😂

The “Load Yourself to the Maximum” Method

There are definitely two kinds of people when it comes to carrying things.


Some people make one trip, realize they can’t carry everything, and go back for the rest.


Then there are people like me who look at everything that needs to go inside and think:

“I’m getting ALL of it in one trip.” 😂


I would much rather load myself to the maximum and get it done than walk back and forth making multiple trips.

A Quick Look at Everyday RV and Off-Grid Life

This is just a very short glimpse of everyday life around the RV at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.

Off-grid camping comes with plenty of little everyday tasks, from hauling water to moving supplies around the property. Sometimes the simplest things turn into their own little adventure.

Do You Make One Trip or Multiple Trips?

Now we want to know what YOU do!

Which One Are You?

  • Team One Trip: Load everything you possibly can.
  • Team Multiple Trips: Carry a reasonable amount and go back.
  • Team “I’ll Figure It Out”: Somehow carry way too much anyway. 😂

Leave a comment and tell us which one you are!

Check out this quick clip from Colquhoun Entertainment and see the one-trip haul for yourself!

Ka-Hoon Campground Color Code | Choose Your Campsite & Know the Boundaries

Understanding the Ka-Hoon Campground Color Code

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center uses a color code to help campers understand the different areas throughout the campground.

The color-coded map identifies areas that may be communal, private, reservable, or property border areas, making it easier for campers to understand where they can set up their campsite.

  • Yellow: Communal Area, all are welcome
  • Black: Private, Off Limits
  • Yellow/Orange: Reservable areas
  • Orange: Property line

Choose Your Campsite

At Ka-Hoon Campground, campers can choose where they want to camp within the areas available to them.

Once you choose your campsite, that space can become your own private camping area as long as you remain within the designated boundaries and stay away from private areas.

This gives campers freedom to choose their space while still respecting the campground’s designated areas.

Communal Camping Areas

Some areas at Ka-Hoon Campground are communal

If you choose a campsite located inside a designated communal area, the area remains communal rather than becoming an exclusive private space.

Campers using communal areas should respect the shared nature of those spaces.

Private and Reservable Areas

Private and reservable areas are identified separately from communal camping areas.

Campers should remain outside designated private areas unless they have permission or have specifically reserved that area.


The color code helps make these distinctions easier to understand.

Stay Within the Borders

The basic rule is simple:

  • Choose your campsite.
  • Stay within the designated boundaries.
  • Stay away from private areas.
  • Respect communal areas.
  • Know which areas are reservable.
  • Respect the campground and the people using it.

Understanding the color code helps everyone know where their camping space begins and ends.

Plateau Hame de Colquhoun Campground in Central New Mexico | Off-Grid Camping, Movies, Live Desert Music

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.

Who Plateau Hame de Colquhoun is Perfect For

  • Individuals wanting quiet desert camping
  • Families looking for something more meaningful than a standard RV park
  • Campers who enjoy optional community
  • Travelers curious about off-grid living
  • People seeking a safe, welcoming place to relax
  • Those who love movies, music, and campfire stories
  • Anyone who wants the choice between privacy and connection

Privacy When You Want It. Community When You Don’t.

This is the core philosophy here.

You are never required to participate.
You are always welcome if you want to.

That simple balance changes the entire camping experience.

Why Guests Return

Guests often say they came for a campsite… and found something they didn’t expect:

  • Real conversations
  • Unique evenings
  • A different pace
  • A memorable desert atmosphere

That’s why many return when traveling through central New Mexico again.

Plan Your Stay
