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

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.

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

Ka-Hoon Campground

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!

Watch the Short Video

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

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is located in Central New Mexico and offers an off-grid camping experience surrounded by the mesa landscape.

đŸœïž Dogs Digging Holes at a Desert Campground: What It Means, What We’re Seeing, and Why It Happens

Ka-Hoon Campground

🐕 Dogs Digging Holes at Our Desert Campground

At our desert campground, unusual things are part of everyday life — but one behavior keeps showing up again and again:

Dogs digging holes in the sand and soil.

What starts as a simple scratch in the ground can turn into something much deeper — literally and behaviorally.

This is part of real off-grid living at Colquhoun Entertainment desert campground, where animals, land, weather, and human life all interact naturally.

đŸ•ïž Why Dogs Dig at Campgrounds and Homesteads

Dog digging behavior is extremely common, but it becomes more noticeable in environments like:

  • Desert campgrounds
  • Off-grid homesteads
  • Rural fenced enclosures
  • Hot climate regions

🧠 Common reasons dogs dig:

đŸŒĄïž 1. Cooling behavior (hot desert climates)

Dogs often dig into cooler earth to regulate body temperature.

🧠 3. Boredom or stimulation

Limited stimulation in enclosed areas can increase digging activity.

👃 4. Scent tracking

Dogs may dig toward underground smells or movement.

đŸœïž 5. Environmental adaptation

In desert ecosystems, digging becomes part of how animals interact with terrain.

đŸŒ” Off-Grid Camping & Animal Behavior

At our desert campground, we see firsthand how off-grid living changes animal behavior patterns.

Unlike suburban yards, here dogs interact with:

  • Open desert soil
  • Natural heat cycles
  • Minimal landscaping barriers
  • Large open pens and fenced spaces

This creates behavior that feels more intense, more frequent, and more unpredictable.

đŸ•ïž Campground Life: More Than Just Camping

This isn’t just camping — it’s ongoing desert homestead living.

Visitors and members experience:

  • Desert camping stays
  • Off-grid lifestyle observation
  • Real-time animal behavior (dogs, wildlife, etc.)
  • Community-based outdoor living
  • Music, events, and desert nights

👉 This is part of the Colquhoun Entertainment campground experience

đŸŸ Dog Digging Behavior at Our Site

Recently, our dogs began digging in a new area inside their pen, not along the usual fence line.

We observed:

  • Digging starting in the middle of the pen
  • Continuous expansion of the hole
  • Shelter and shade placed over the area
  • Continued digging activity afterward

This is being monitored as part of ongoing animal behavior observation in a desert environment.

đŸœïž Camping, Dogs, and Desert Living Combined

What makes this unique is the intersection of:

  • Off-grid campground life
  • Animal behavior in natural desert conditions
  • Homestead-style living
  • Community-based membership experiences

Everything is connected — land, animals, and people all shaping the same space.

Thinking of Long-Term Off-Grid Camping? Watch This Before You Book Your Stay!

Ka-Hoon Campground

Try Before You Stay: Why We Recommend Short-Term Off-Grid Camping First


At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we get asked all the time about long-term stays. While we do welcome longer bookings, we always suggest starting with a short-term visit first.

Living off-grid or camping long-term isn’t quite the same as traditional camping. Every location, setup, and community has its own rhythm — and we want you to make sure it’s the right fit before committing.

A shorter stay gives you the opportunity to adjust, test your setup, and get a feel for the land, the desert environment, and our off-grid lifestyle. Many guests who plan for months end up realizing they prefer shorter visits, while others fall in love and extend their time here.

We want your off-grid experience to be positive and comfortable — and that starts by giving yourself the space to try it first.

Book a few nights, breathe the desert air, connect with nature, and see if Ka-Hoon Campground feels like home.

How One Container Changed Everything at Ka-Hoon Campground!

Ka-Hoon Campground

When we had the Bluemoon container delivered, it changed everything! 🚛 This was our very first container, and since we didn’t have the equipment to move it where we planned, it became the deciding factor for how we set everything up at Ka-Hoon Campground.
