Why Our Campground Has a Membership (And Why It’s Not an RV Park)

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.

And you can watch our events and shows free online on YouTube and TikTok through Colquhoun Entertainment.

We Ditched the Grid in the Desert 🌵 Real Off-Grid Life, Power Struggles & Freedom | LIVE 11AM MST

🌵 Off-Grid Talk Today at 11 AM MST – Real Life, Real Desert, Real Resilience

Living off-grid isn’t about perfection — it’s about **adaptation, creativity, and resilience**, especially when you’re doing it in the New Mexico desert. Today at **11:00 AM MST**, we’re hosting our **Off-Grid Talk** live, sharing real experiences from daily life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**.

Normally this talk happens earlier, but today we’ve shifted to **11 AM** due to other live activities happening on the homestead. Off-grid life teaches flexibility — and this is a perfect example of that in action.

🔋 What We’ll Be Talking About

This isn’t a glossy, influencer version of off-grid living. This is the **real deal**:

* Power management in extreme desert conditions
* Living comfortably without hookups
* Building community while living independently
* Lessons learned from failures (because there are plenty)
* How music, creativity, and nature keep us grounded

From **Music in the Desert** to daily life with the dogs, the studio, and the land itself — off-grid living here is a blend of grit, humor, and freedom.

🏜️ Why Off-Grid Works for Us

At **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, off-grid living isn’t about isolation. It’s about **intentional living**, mutual respect, and creating a space where people can be themselves without judgment.

Some days the desert is calm and peaceful. Other days it reminds you who’s really in charge. Either way, we show up, adapt, and keep moving forward — and that’s exactly what today’s talk is about.

### 🎶 More Than Just Power and Solar

Off-grid life here also means:

* Live music and creative expression
* Community gatherings at Ka-Hoon Campground
* Advocatus Diaboli & the Grim Leafer Band
* Conversations that matter

Because surviving off-grid is one thing — **living fully off-grid is another**.

📍 **Join us live today at 11:00 AM MST**
Whether you’re curious about off-grid life, already living it, or just need a reminder that resilience can be joyful — you’re welcome here.

Freedom, creativity, and the desert way of life… powered by the sun and a lot of determination.

Why Cattle Keep Visiting Our Home—Life in a New Mexico Free-Range State Explained!

Why the Cattle Keep Visiting Our House — Life in a Free-Range State**

*(Off-Grid Talk from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun)*

If you’ve ever watched our **Offgrid Talk** videos or tuned in to **Music in the Desert**, you already know that living out here at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun** comes with some surprises. But one of the questions we get most often—especially on TikTok—is:

**“Why are there cattle at your house?”**

Fair question.
And the answer is simple:

### **We live in New Mexico… a free-range state.**

That means cattle are free to roam in their designated grazing areas, and unless *we* put up fencing (which we really don’t want to), the cows are basically allowed to drop by whenever they feel like it.

And trust me—they *do*.



## **Why the Cows Love Our Place**

We’re not a fancy resort.
We’re not serving cow snacks.
We don’t even have cow Wi-Fi (yet).

But the cattle absolutely adore the same things that bring you and me joy:

* Solar cameras
* Solar lights
* Motion sensors
* Anything with a blinky light
* Anything that beeps
* Anything that looks even slightly expensive

If it glows, flashes, or makes a sound… they’re going to investigate it.

Some people fight off raccoons.
Some people fight off squirrels.
We fight off **solar-loving cows** who try to boop the cameras at **Ka-Hoon Campground** like they’re testing out new technology.

Honestly?
They’re better security guards than any alarm system.



## **Life at Ka-Hoon Campground**

Living beside free-range cattle is just part of the charm here.
Between the cows, coyotes, jack rabbits, the animatronic chaos of **Advocatus Diaboli** and the **Grim Leafer Band**, and the unusual acts booked through **Melodie’s Oddities**, there’s never a dull moment.

Throw in the desert sound work from **Jafo Productions**, a few off-grid challenges, and nightly entertainment through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, and you’ve got a life that’s unpredictable—but always full of stories.

So if the cattle walk by our cameras, nosing around like they’re auditioning for a desert reality show…
that’s just life at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun**.

And we wouldn’t change it.

It’s Monday Before Thanksgiving… and Even the Mountain Has Given Up! 😂🌄

**Monday Before Thanksgiving: A Little Inspiration From Ladrón Peak**

It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, and as we look out toward the beautiful silhouette of **Ladrón Peak**, we’re taking a moment to breathe, smile, and laugh at ourselves—because if there’s one universal truth, it’s this:

**Nobody has their life together on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Not even the mountain.**

While some of us are trying to plan the perfect dinner, others are debating if pie for breakfast counts as “getting ahead.” And honestly? Ladrón Peak isn’t judging—it’s just standing there, doing its majestic thing, refusing to move on a Monday. A mood we can all relate to.

So take a breath, sip your coffee, and remember:

**You’ve got this.
Barely.
But still… you’ve got this.**

From all of us here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we hope this week brings laughter, warmth, and maybe a nap or two before the turkey chaos begins.

Off-Grid Dogs Steal the Show During Colquhoun Entertainment Livestream!

During this morning’s **Off-Grid Talk** livestream on **TikTok**, the dogs took center stage — playing, digging, and reminding everyone that sometimes, happiness is as simple as chasing a tumbleweed. 

What started as a calm morning chat about off-grid life turned into a comedy show filled with wagging tails, zoomies, and laughter.

These desert dogs are more than pets — they’re part of the Colquhoun family, living free, fearless, and full of love under the endless New Mexico sky.

 Catch every hilarious moment and uplifting vibe on **TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook** — because sometimes, inspiration has paws. 

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

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.

🎃 Haunted Hayride Vault! Spooky Fun & Community Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground 🚜🔥

Haunted Hayride Memories: A Look Back at Our Spooky Community Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground 🎃🚜

This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events — the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**

The hayride wasn’t just about spooky fun — it was about **bringing people together**. All hayride proceeds went right back into the community, helping fund **projects and improvements** that everyone could enjoy together.

Alongside the hayride, we filled the night with **live bands**, **campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**, **games**, **bonfires**, **potlucks**, and more. Every year brought something a little different — new faces, new frights, and new memories.

Whether you were here for the music, the laughter, or the screams echoing through the desert night, each Haunted Hayride was a reminder of what makes this community so special — people coming together under the stars.

👻 **Each year’s events vary**, and the Hayride may or may not return, so **stay tuned for our 2026 schedule!** You never know what spooky surprises might be waiting in the desert…

🔥 Raking the Desert for Magic! Preparing the Sand for Our Rangoli of Intentions 🌙

Preparing the Desert for the Rangoli: Raking the Ground for Our Night of Intentions

As we prepare for our **Rangoli celebration on November 1st** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, the desert is becoming our canvas. This night is all about **manifesting goals, intentions, and personal transformation** beneath the wide New Mexico sky.

Instead of using chalk or powders, we’ll be **drawing directly into the sand**—letting the natural earth guide our designs. Each participant will create their own **Rangoli of Intentions**, using simple tools or even their hands to carve symbols that represent what they want to attract, release, or change in their lives.

To prepare, we’ve begun our **first raking of the ground**, softening and smoothing the desert floor so it’s ready for creation. The process itself feels symbolic—clearing away the old to make space for new energy.

When the Rangolis are complete, we’ll gather around the **bonfire**, dance, and celebrate the intentions we’ve set together. The night will blend **art, energy, and community**, bringing light and purpose to the desert sands.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind off-grid experience—where the earth itself becomes the medium for manifestation.
