The Dusty Nail General Store – Tiny Souvenirs & Big Surprises at Ka-Hoon Campground
Yesterday when I went to clean up the store, I expected a bit of a mess—but I didn’t realize how much until I opened the door. The plastic drawer that holds charms, rings, glow sticks, and stickers had tipped over, scattering everything across the floor.
The **Dusty Nail General Store** is our tiny little souvenir shop here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.** It runs on the honor pay system, allowing campers to browse and buy at their convenience.
Inside, you’ll find a mix of fun and unique items: charms, glow sticks, t-shirts, art, crochet stuffies, handmade washcloths, and dish towels. What makes it special is that the store doesn’t just feature items we’ve created—local makers from around the area also contribute their own handmade goods.
Whether you’re here for camping, events, or just passing through, the Dusty Nail General Store is a fun little stop to grab a memory of your time in the desert.

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.

Unforgettable Night at Ka-Hoon: Drum Circle Magic Under Cloudy Skies!
**Reflecting on Last Night’s Drum Circle: A Night of Rhythm and Connection**
Last night’s drum circle at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center was a resounding success, filled with vibrant energy, rhythmic beats, and a sense of community that brought us all closer together. Despite many of us being novices, the experience was nothing short of magical.
**A Welcoming Gathering**
We were delighted to see a nice group of participants show up, all eager to take part in the drum circle. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as we gathered around the bonfire, ready to make music under the stars.
**Finding Our Rhythm**
Even though many of us didn’t have prior experience with drumming, that didn’t deter our enthusiasm. The initial uncertainty quickly gave way to spontaneous creativity. With a mix of hand drums, shakers, and other percussion instruments, we started to find our collective rhythm. It was heartening to see everyone encouraging each other, sharing tips, and learning together.
**A Night of Connection**
As the night progressed, the beats became more synchronized, and we lost ourselves in the music. The drum circle turned into a powerful means of expression, where words were unnecessary, and the rhythm did all the talking. Laughter and smiles were abundant, and the sense of connection was palpable.
**Under the Starry Sky**
There’s something incredibly special about making music outdoors, under a blanket of stars. The natural beauty of the New Mexico desert added to the ambiance, making the evening even more unforgettable. The flickering bonfire, the rhythmic drumming, and the vast night sky created a perfect setting for a memorable experience.
**Looking Forward**
We left the drum circle feeling invigorated and looking forward to more such events. The drum circle not only allowed us to explore our musical sides but also fostered a sense of community and shared joy. Whether you’re a seasoned drummer or a complete beginner, we welcome you to join us next time. It’s an experience that promises not just music, but also camaraderie and fun.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening special. We can’t wait to drum with you again soon!
