Experience the real challenges of off-grid living in New Mexico at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. This story highlights what it’s like maintaining a private, off-grid property while dealing with open range conditions, rural land use realities, and the responsibilities that come with land ownership.
At Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC, the parent company behind Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center, Music in the Desert, Colquhoun Entertainment, JAFO Productions, and Dusty Nail General Store, the focus is on preserving open land while creating a space for creativity, community, and authentic experiences.
This content reflects the daily reality of living and operating in a rural, off-grid environment—balancing openness with protection, independence with responsibility, and respect for the land with the need to maintain it.

Across the wide open landscapes of the New Mexico desert, many people dream about living differently. They imagine quiet nights under the stars, freedom from the constant rush of modern life, and the chance to reconnect with nature, creativity, and community.
For some, that dream begins with the idea of living off-grid.
But anyone who has spent time in the desert knows the truth: the desert has its own personality. The wind can arrive without warning, the silence can feel enormous, and figuring everything out alone can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s why communities like Plateau Hame de Colquhoun exist.
Located in the wide open desert landscape, Plateau Hame de Colquhoun brings together people interested in alternative lifestyles, creative expression, music, and community learning. Instead of trying to figure out everything alone, members share knowledge, experiences, and ideas while exploring a different way of living.
At Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, the focus isn’t just about land or buildings. It’s about people.
Members gather to share music, conversations, and creativity around campfires and under desert skies. Musicians, artists, thinkers, and curious individuals all bring their own perspectives and talents, creating a unique environment where learning happens naturally through community interaction.
The desert itself becomes part of the experience. Sunsets stretch across the horizon, the night sky fills with stars, and the quiet space allows people to slow down and connect with each other in meaningful ways.
For many members, the experience is about rediscovering the simple joy of gathering together. A guitar appears, someone tells a story, someone else shares a new idea, and the community grows stronger with every conversation.
Plateau Hame de Colquhoun is not about fitting into a predefined box. Instead, it welcomes people who are curious, creative, and interested in exploring new ways of living, thinking, and creating.
Some members come for the music. Some come for the community. Some come simply because the desert calls to them.
Whatever brings them here, they often discover that the most valuable part of the experience is the people they meet along the way.
In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, places like Plateau Hame de Colquhoun remind us that community, creativity, and shared experiences still matter.
Sometimes the best thing you can find in the desert isn’t land or silence.
It’s people gathered around a fire, sharing music and stories beneath a sky full of stars.

People sometimes imagine off-grid living as peaceful sunsets, birds chirping, and me gracefully watering plants in a linen dress.
Reality: I’m answering emails, fixing something that broke, scheduling events, running a campground, posting on five social media platforms, and wondering why my brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open.
We moved to the desert in October 2020 with a dream — not to get rich, not to build a resort, but to build a place. A place where people could come, breathe, exist, and not feel judged. A place that respects nature, recycles, upcycles, and tries very hard not to waste what the earth gives us.
We didn’t want elaborate. We wanted sustainable.
Affordable events. Real community. Music, gatherings, conversations, and people sitting around a fire actually talking to each other instead of just scrolling.
The membership program? We never planned that.
It happened because people kept asking: “Can we stay longer?”
So we created a way people could be part of the land instead of just visiting it.
And now we’re starting something new — Off-Grid Campfire Chat.
We changed the name because we are not experts. Not even close. We are people figuring it out in real time.
The Campfire Chat isn’t a class. It’s a place.
Some people come to learn. Some come to help others. Some come because they feel alone and need to hear, “Yeah… life is hard sometimes.”
Living off-grid doesn’t remove normal problems. You still get tired. You still doubt yourself.
You still get overwhelmed running a campground, an event center, and all the promotion that never takes a day off — even when your brain begs for one.
But the goal here was never perfection.
It was belonging.
If you want to learn, talk, vent, or just sit quietly and listen — you’re welcome.
Living off-grid isn’t just solar panels and pretty sunsets — it’s real life, real challenges, and real community.
Every morning between 11 AM – 12 PM MST, join Off-Grid Talk streaming LIVE on TikTok (Colquhoun Entertainment). Hosted by Melodious & Advocatus Diaboli, this is a relaxed coffee-and-conversation livestream where anyone can ask questions, share experiences, or just hang out.
We broadcast from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center (Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC) — a working off-grid desert homestead. You’ll see:
Solar power life
Water hauling reality
Tiny living
RV living
Homesteading struggles & wins
Daily off-grid routines
Behind-the-scenes campground life
You’ll also meet the Colquhoun pups, talk with real people living this lifestyle, and get honest answers — not influencer fantasy.
Whether you want to live off-grid, are already doing it, or just curious… you’re welcome.
If you’ve watched our latest video, you probably heard the question we get constantly:
“Why does a campground need a membership?”
Fair question.
Most campgrounds are designed for temporary stays. You pull in, set up, stay a few days, and then move along. You might wave to your neighbors… but by the time you learn their name, they’re already packing up.
We realized something.
We weren’t trying to create a place people visit. We were trying to create a place people belong.
At Ka-Hoon Campground – Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we kept meeting incredible travelers, off-gridders, artists, musicians, and people looking for a quieter life. But the structure of a normal campground meant they had to leave just when friendships started forming.
So we changed the model.
What the Membership Actually Is
The membership isn’t a resort pass. It isn’t a timeshare. It isn’t an HOA.
It’s simply how we keep a stable community instead of a revolving parking lot.
Instead of strict campground policies, our philosophy is simple:
Respect is the rule.
We don’t want a place full of paperwork and enforcement — we want a place where people naturally look out for each other, share skills, and create something together.
What Makes It Different
Our members aren’t just campers. They become part of daily life here.
People garden. People build projects. People share meals. People play music. People host events.
We host regular activities including:
People build projects.
People share meals.
People play music.
People host events.
We host regular activities including:
Music in the Desert live shows
Karaoke nights
Movies and gatherings
Seasonal events
Some members stay a short time. Some stay much longer.
The goal was never to build a campground. The goal was to build a community where people can slow down and live differently.
Who It’s For
This place tends to attract:
Off-grid and solar living enthusiasts
RV and van lifers
Tiny home travelers
Creatives and makers
People escaping strict HOA living
Anyone wanting a quieter, more intentional environment
It’s not luxury camping. It’s not a party resort. It’s a shared space built on mutual respect.
Why We Made the Video
Because the word “membership” confuses people.
It sounds formal — but the reality is the opposite. The membership simply allows us to know who is here, keep the environment safe, and maintain a few real community members rather than alway constantly changing campground.
If you’re looking for a place to just park , we offer multiple platforms to book through
If you’re looking for a place to settle for a while and meet people who actually know your name — you probably understand immediately.
