Interstate 25 connects to Santa Fe from both Albuquerque and Denver. From I-25, take exit #282 onto St. Francis Drive. Go north until you hit West Alameda and take a right. Drive until you hit Sandoval and take a left. Once on Sandoval, taking a right on either San Franciso or Palace will eventually take you to the Santa Fe plaza. Be aware that during Market the plaza and many surrounding streets are closed to all but foot traffic.

Our camps are primitive but comfortable. We provide tents and all but your personal items. Guests usually bring their own bedrolls, but if that is not possible, we can provide one for a small rental fee. We specialize in campfire meals. You will be served , for example, steaks grilled over a bed of coals, cowboy beans, Dutch oven biscuits, campfire stews, and fruit cobblers all cooked to whet the appetite and then satisfy it! Lynne has developed special homemade pancake and syrup recipes, and Perry's cowboy coffee is always in demand.


Prices:

Overnight (24 hours) = $200 per person

3-days, 2-nights = $600 per person

4-days, 3-nights = $800 per person
