Unforgettable Desert Night! Rangoli Art & Dance Under the Stars at Ka-Hoon Campground!
Experience the Magic of the New Mexico Desert at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**
Looking for a unique camping adventure in the New Mexico desert? Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center offers more than just a place to pitch your tent — it’s an experience unlike any other. Nestled deep in the scenic West Mesa, our campground blends the peaceful beauty of the desert with creative, one-of-a-kind events you won’t find anywhere else.
**Upcoming Event – Rangoli Under the Stars**
Join us on **November 1st** for our *Rangoli* celebration — an evening of color, creativity, and community. This vibrant tradition is more than art; it’s a symbolic creation of intentions, goals, and positive changes. We’ll gather around a roaring bonfire, create beautiful designs, and dance under the desert sky.
🎟 **Suggested Donation:** \$3.00 per person
🏕 **Free for Campers:** Anyone camping with us gets in free! Camping is just \$12 per night.
🌟 **Members Attend Free:** All members are invited to join the Rangoli celebration at no cost.
📅 **How to Book:** Reserve your spot using one of the platforms listed on our website.
**Livestream Experience – Be Part of the Show**
When we host live music, talent shows, or studio sessions, our livestreams are played over the campground PA system. This means everyone staying here can sit outside under the stars or hang out by their campsite and enjoy the show in real time. On special invite-only nights, you can even sit inside the studio and be part of the live audience while music magic happens.
**Why Ka-Hoon is Different**
We believe camping should be more than a tent and a campfire. Our events bring the desert to life with music, laughter, and connection. From themed nights and karaoke to seasonal festivals, every visit feels like a getaway with a purpose.
**Limited Memberships Available**
We have a few memberships open that include perks like free camping nights, event discounts, and access to members-only gatherings.
📍 **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** – Where the desert meets creativity. Whether you’re here for a night or a season, you’ll leave with memories you can’t find anywhere else.

Off-Grid Desert Living for–Could THIS Be the Best Long-Term Camp Spot in New Mexico?
🌵 Ka-Hoon Campground Membership Program 🌵**
📍Deep in the New Mexico Desert | 🏕️ Respect. Freedom. Community.
At the end of last year, we quietly launched our **Ka-Hoon Campground Membership Program**—a long-term stay option requested by some of our amazing campers. Since then, we’ve welcomed a few dedicated members who stayed for nearly six months before heading off to chase their dreams in California.
This program was never about packing people in—it’s about building an intentional, respectful desert community. Let’s be honest: as much as we’d love to offer free stays, we do have expenses. And while this isn’t a get-rich venture for us, it is our home *and* our livelihood. Like anyone else, we just want to live simply and comfortably while protecting the land.
**What’s included in the membership?**
✅ Long-term stay opportunities
✅ Come and go as you please
✅ Set up your space your way
✅ No work exchange required
✅ Just one rule: **Respect**—for the land, yourself, and others
✅ No illegal substances, no chaos—just desert calm
We keep our numbers small on purpose, hoping to attract folks who share our values. If you’re someone looking for a safe, peaceful place to be yourself, you just might find your spot here on the mesa.
**Interested in joining or learning more? Message us today.**

Title: Play BINGO Under the Stars in the New Mexico Desert – June 21 at Ka-Hoon Campground!
Looking for a unique and fun-filled way to kick off your summer? Join us on June 21 at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center for a one-of-a-kind BINGO night in the New Mexico desert! Whether you’re a seasoned camper, a BINGO enthusiast, or just looking for a lighthearted night with good people and laughter, this is the event for you.
🎉 What Makes This BINGO Night Special?
This isn’t your typical BINGO game. At our off-grid desert campground, we do things a little differently. The only thing you need to play BINGO is to bring five wrapped white elephant gifts!
❓What’s a White Elephant Gift?
A white elephant gift is a quirky, humorous, or secondhand item you no longer need, but that might spark fun and laughter for someone else. These can be silly trinkets, gently used items, or something unexpectedly useful. The idea is to keep it light-hearted and fun — you never know what you’ll unwrap! The randomness is half the fun.
🎁 Examples of great white elephant gifts:
- A book you’ve read and loved
- A funky coffee mug
- A puzzle or board game
- An odd kitchen gadget
- A gag gift from last Christmas
- Something homemade or offbeat
Everyone goes home a winner, and part of the fun is seeing what treasures others bring!

Camping is just $12 per site for up to 5 people. Come early, set up camp, enjoy the peaceful desert landscape, and get ready for a night full of laughs, connection, and good times.

Rainy Days, Movie Nights & Shower Builds – What’s New at Ka-Hoon Campground This Week!
Spring Storms, Movie Night & Shower Build Progress at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
It’s been a cloudy, chilly, and rainy week out here in the desert, but that doesn’t stop us from planning some fun! **This Saturday**, weather permitting, we’re hosting another cozy **Movie Night** under the stars—bring a blanket and a chair! Then on **Sunday, May 25th**, we’re holding an **Open Mic Night**. Whether you sing, read poetry, or just want to hang out, we welcome everyone to take the mic and share.
**Shower House Update**
Building the new shower has proven to be more of a challenge than expected. If Brent were fully capable, he’d probably have it knocked out in a day. But this time, Anne and I are doing the building ourselves with Brent’s guidance. While we’ve helped with builds before, this is our first time truly taking the lead. Let’s just say—we’ve learned we’re much better assistants than lead builders!
We’ve been working around weather delays, high winds, and rainy weekends—not to mention juggling schedules. Progress is slower than we hoped, but it’s still moving forward and will be worth it when it’s done!
**Don’t Miss Our Membership Program!**
If you haven’t already, make sure to check out our **Membership Program**. Members enjoy:
* Free and discounted camping
* Discounts at our general store
* Free entry to special events like Movie Nights, Talent Shows, and more
* Priority access to campsites
* Member-only activities and gatherings
Our community is about freedom, creativity, and respect. Whether you’re a regular visitor or just passing through, our membership helps support continued improvements like the new shower, as well as all the events we love to host.
**Stay connected, stay cozy, and stay kind.**

Healing, Hustling, and Holding Down the Campground
Life has a way of shifting priorities, and lately, we’ve been in full-on healing and doctor appointment mode. While there’s not a ton of new progress to report here at the campground, we’re still here—showing up day by day.
Between medical visits and recovery, our hands have been full, but that doesn’t mean the campground is closed. In fact, we’re still open and welcoming campers! Projects may be moving a bit slower than usual, but we’re continuing to chip away as energy and time allow.
Sometimes, life steps in and reminds you to pause, focus on what truly matters, and give yourself grace. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us during this time—we’re still building, still dreaming, and always grateful.

Join Us for a Unique Off-Grid Open Mic Night & Summer Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!
Kicking Off the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground: Open Mic Night & Upcoming Summer Hootenanny!**
Spring is slowly settling in here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, and we’re gearing up for our **first small event of the season on April 19th**! This year, we’re trying something new with a **hybrid Open Mic Night** — both **in-person** and **online**. Can’t make it out to the desert? No problem! Join us on TikTok (details coming soon) and be a part of the fun from wherever you are.
We’ll likely start earlier for our in-person performers, then move online after dark. TikTok has a few limitations on songs, so we’re planning around that — stay tuned for finalized times and links!
Even though we haven’t made much progress on projects around the campground (thanks to the wind and a steady flow of campers), it’s been busy in all the best ways. Brent’s still struggling with his arm, but he’s seeing an orthopedic specialist this week — fingers crossed for good news and a simple fix. He’s ready to get back to using his hand and helping out more again.
**Looking ahead to July**, we’re excited to announce our **Halloween in the Summer Hootenanny** — an epic weekend of camping, music, and spooky fun under the desert stars. Decorate your campsite, join the campsite trick-or-treating, show off your costume, and even vend your handmade or unique goods if you’d like.
**Event Highlights:**
– **Live performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**
– **Campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**
– **Costume contest**
– **Free entry for attendees**
– **Free vending for campers**
– **$12 for non-camping vendors (covers the whole weekend)**
– **$12 per campsite/night (up to 5 people per site)**
Got a bigger group? Reach out — we’re happy to work with you.
**Ready to experience off-grid fun, good vibes, and a safe space to be yourself?** Come join us in the beautiful New Mexico desert. Visit our website for details, directions, and more:
