If you like the idea of getting off the grid and enjoying the stunning natural beauty in New Mexico, glamping is definitely the way to go. You don’t have to be truly “roughing it” to get the most out of these stunning landscapes and wide-open spaces! From campers to yurts and more, here are our favorite glamping spots in New Mexico.
Cozy Mid-Century Boho Trailer Mountain Views - Taos
You’ll love this bright yellow trailer that’s a 1954 Silver Dome travel trailer that’s just minutes from the town of Taos. It has a full bedroom, bathroom with plumbing, kitchen, living room, and fenced yard. It’s a bright and sunny glamping spot with views of the mountains rather than city lights. Guests here enjoy the turquoise bathroom with its tub and shower, having heat with the two radiant heaters, and Wi-Fi. Come here to see what it’s like to live in a vintage trailer while having all the comforts of home. You’ll access the trailer up a gravel road and be in a really unique area. There are a couple of small dogs that live on the property, and you can bring your own small dog for a fee as well.
Yurt Overlooking the Chama River - Abiquiu
This amazing yurt sleeps six people and has four beds among the beautiful rock formations of Abiquiu. This glamping spot offers a rustic and tranquil experience and is just below Cerrito Blanco. It’s a 24-foot yurt that’s ideal for couples and families. You’ll love being in this high desert paradise with its Asian décor, woodwork details, equipped kitchen, and bathroom with a European-style shower. The bathroom and kitchen are about 50 steps down an outside path in the annex. There’s a covered outdoor patio here, as well as a wood-burning stove for heat. The host provides coffee-making supplies for guests. To get here, the yurt is 1.5 miles off of Highway 84 on a well-maintained dirt road.
1948 Spartan Camper - Santa Fe
We also love this glamping camper for two guests looking for a private retreat away from crowds. It has a queen bed, bathroom with shower, fridge, BBQ grill, and deck. It’s about 15-20 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, so it’s great for seeing the city and surrounding natural attractions. The space offers easy parking and has Wi-Fi about 50 yards away. Cell service is great here, but you can plan for a digital detox here too because there is no television or Wi-Fi inside the camper. Interestingly, the host is an ordained minister and can perform legal wedding ceremonies!
MoonFlower Casitas and Retreat Yurt - Estancia
A yurt to consider for your New Mexico glamping trip for a larger group is this one that sleeps up to eight people. The yurt is 26 feet in diameter and has four comfy bunk beds with pillows and blankets. The yurt also offers a mini-fridge, coffee pot, toaster, microwave, and other kitchen features. There is a separate bathroom and laundry room that you can use, as well as outside seating to enjoy the mountain views. When you stay here, you’ll also have access to 22 acres of land with a labyrinth and nearby trails.
Vintage Travel Trailer, Sweet ‘57 - Sunland Park
Here’s a vintage trailer for two glamping guests available on Airbnb to take your mind off of stress and the busyness of normal life. It’s an enchanting camper with an outdoor soaking tub on a deck that overlooks the landscape. The camper is fully renovated and has a private restroom. It is near the U.S. and Mexico border, by the Union Pacific rail line for train-spotting, and also steps from a year-round farmers’ market.
Mountain Yurt for the Solo Traveler - Arroyo Seco
Here’s a mountain yurt that’s ideal for a solo traveler and that offers high-speed internet, a full-size bed, and a mini kitchen. Stay here to be just 10 minutes from Taos Ski Valley and 20 minutes to the Taos Plaza. Here you can use the off-grid water system, shared bathhouse, and wood stove for heat. This yurt is a separate dwelling from the owner’s cabin, and the bathhouse is right behind the yurt and shared with other guests.
Airstream Mountain Getaway - El Prado
It’s also fun to stay in an Airstream when you’re in the mood for glamping, such as this one for up to six guests in El Prado. You’re 15 minutes from Taos and Arroyo Secco here and 30 minutes from Taos Ski Valley. The camper is on five acres of land with mountain views. It has a fridge, stove, small bathroom with a toilet and shower, and air conditioning. There’s a fire pit with a grill to cook on and plenty of space to use your mountain bike or dirt bike here. It’s a great place to try tiny home living and to explore the Taos area in a unique and comfy way. Don’t forget to bring your bathing suit and water shoes to use the hot springs!
Enchanted Yurt with Amazing Views and Llamas - Santa Fe
Also located in the Santa Fe area is this yurt for up to four people. It has a herd of 11 llamas, mountain views that you can view from two decks, and a location that’s five minutes from the Santa Fe River Walk Park. You can take a llama tour, feed, the llamas, and get free admission to the Roswell alien-themed roller rink on Friday nights when you stay here. There is no air conditioning but the yurt stays comfortable year-around because of the moderate climate.
1880s Adobe/1950's Shultz Trailer - Albuquerque
Instead of staying in a hotel when you visit the big city of Albuquerque, you can also choose to have a glamping experience here for something truly unique. This trailer is a popular Airbnb glamping spot that is great for two guests. The host couple has restored this vintage trailer that is a few steps away from the main house, which is where you can use the facilities. You can also use the pool and hot tub on this two-acre property.
