On Wednesday, Sept 4, we rescued Vibria, a tiny pup found with two other female puppies who had been dumped on Cahoon Street in Roswell, NM. It felt like fate. That same morning, I was reflecting on a memory of Litha, our black lab/golden retriever mix who passed nearly two years ago from cancer. While looking at the pictures, I got a notification about the three puppies needing homes. It was serendipitous—Cahoon Street shares the same pronunciation as Colquhoun, the name of our campground.
At first, it didn’t seem possible to go and get her because I had a doctor’s appointment. But just as I was about to let the person know we couldn’t make it, the doctor’s office called to cancel! That was the sign we needed. We hopped in the car, made the three-hour drive, and brought Vibria home.
Now, six weeks later, she’s settled into her new life. We estimate she’s around 14 weeks old, and although she’s tiny at about 7-8 lbs, she’s full of energy and mischief. She adores cuddles, plays with the cats, and even tries to play with Dreugan—though she usually runs and hides when his play gets too rambunctious. Vibria is fearless and has proven herself to be an escape artist, climbing fences when we’re not looking.
We picked up a cheap harness from a thrift store, unsure of how big she’ll get, and she proudly wears it along with her new collar. Surprisingly, she even gets upset when it’s taken off!
Stay tuned to follow Vibria’s adventures as she lives her best life off-grid in the New Mexico desert!

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.
### Embrace the Freedom to Be Different
At Ka-Hoon, we recognize that everyone is unique. Whether you’re joining us for a camping getaway, a festival, or one of our themed event nights, we encourage you to bring your authentic self. There’s nothing wrong with standing out and being different—here, it’s celebrated. We’ve traveled to many places where people felt like outsiders, where the environment didn’t feel comfortable or safe. That’s not the experience we want for anyone who visits our campground.
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.
**Be yourself. There’s no better place to do it than Ka-Hoon.**

### A Space for Connection and Reflection
Whether you’re here for an event or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Ka-Hoon Campground is the perfect place to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with others. We encourage every camper to engage in what makes them feel alive—whether that’s dancing under the stars, singing around the campfire, or simply enjoying the serenity of the desert.
