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 Unique Desert Escape for Solo Travelers, Campfire Nights, and Adventure
At Ka-Hoon Campground, we’re often asked why we don’t offer free stays or create a long-term living community for individuals seeking a place to settle. While we respect the concept, it’s not what we envision for our space. Ka-Hoon is designed to be a place where you can enjoy short-term stays, feel valued for your individuality, and engage with the natural surroundings while respecting and protecting the land.
Our campground offers a unique experience where you make your stay your own. Whether you’re looking to socialize around the campfire, listen to music, share a potluck, or simply relax in your campsite, we offer the flexibility for you to enjoy your time how you wish. You can also take a peaceful hike, soak in the desert atmosphere, or join in our scheduled events.
Throughout our journey, we’ve lived in various places and often felt isolated, even when surrounded by other campers or RVers. At Ka-Hoon, we aim to foster a welcoming environment where everyone feels a sense of community, even if it’s just for a night. Come stay with us and experience a place where individuality is celebrated, and connections are made.

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 us—it’s 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. We’ve 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.
We’ve also experienced our fair share of trial and error along the way, learning that not everything works out as planned—but that’s okay. We’ve adapted, tried different approaches, and ultimately created a space where others can also step back, breathe, and try again. Whether it’s 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, we’re grateful for the challenges, the growth, and the community we’ve 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.

From Campers to Neighbors: Welcoming New Friends to Our Desert Community!
**Embracing New Beginnings in Our Desert Community**
Today marks the first day in months that we don’t have a camper staying with us, and the place feels a bit empty. However, it’s a good kind of empty, filled with the warmth of friendships made and the excitement of new beginnings.
The camper who just checked out came to us when they transferred from their old job at an Amazon distribution center in Colorado to the new Amazon distribution center in Los Lunas. During their stay, they became more than just guests—they became friends. Our little community here in the desert grew to know and appreciate them, and we’re thrilled to hear that they’ve fallen in love with the area just as much as we have.
They’re not going far, either—they’re in the process of buying some land not too far from us. So, while it might feel like a goodbye, it’s really just a “see you soon.” We’re excited to officially welcome them as permanent members of our growing community. Here in the desert, it’s never really goodbye; it’s more of a “welcome home.”

Discover KaHoon Campground’s Solar Repair Adventure at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun!
**Discover Ka-Hoon Campground: A Lesson in Solar Maintenance and Community**
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, the fusion of community and sustainability unfolds in unique ways, exemplified during a recent gathering at Cahoots Courtyard. We extend a warm welcome to visitors interested in our mission and activities, inviting you to schedule a personalized tour and chat.
During a leisurely Saturday with our newest Ka-Hoon Campground members, we encountered a practical lesson in solar panel maintenance. A cable from our solar array required attention, prompting us to shut down the main breaker for safety. After a straightforward repair involving relocating the cable to a spare connector, we inadvertently overlooked one crucial step – restoring power by turning the breaker back on.
The consequence of our oversight surfaced the following day while we were away running errands. An alert notified us of a potential shutdown of our inverter, a critical component of our solar setup. Thankfully, upon returning home, we swiftly rectified the situation, restoring normal operations and avoiding any prolonged disruption. Despite our prompt response, the afternoon’s overcast skies limited our solar recharge capacity, underscoring the importance of meticulous breaker management.
At Ka-Hoon Campground, these moments of shared learning and communal engagement define our commitment to sustainable living. Whether you’re captivated by our solar initiatives or simply eager to learn more about us and our aspirations, we encourage you to connect with our community. Join us on this journey where each day presents new insights and collaborative opportunities to thrive together.

Discover Off-Grid Living at Ka-Hoon Campground: A Desert Oasis in New Mexico
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we embody the essence of a desert oasis where camping, events, and off-grid living converge. Our recent efforts to enhance our solar lighting system exemplify our commitment to sustainability and self-sufficiency.
Under the starlit skies of the New Mexico desert, we embarked on a mission to replace broken and non-functional solar lights across our property. By waiting until nightfall, we could easily identify which lights needed attention. As part of our eco-friendly approach, any working but broken lights were repurposed for future projects.
With a total of 20 new lights at our disposal, we weren’t sure how many replacements we would require. Ultimately, we used all but 6 of these lights, ensuring that each one found a meaningful purpose within our campground and event center.
After completing this task, we took a moment to unwind and appreciate the breathtaking desert skies, rejuvenating ourselves for the busy days ahead. We have exciting events lined up, including the Thursday night live rehearsal and the upcoming Nomad Gathering in the Desert.
Join us on our journey of off-grid living and desert adventures at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. Learn more about our offerings and upcoming events at http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com.
