Carson National Forrest Camping: www.fs.fed.us/r3/carson
Or call the El Rito Ranger Station at (505) 583-4554 If (and only if) there are no forest fire restrictions, you can camp almost anywhere in the Carson National Forrest- they have maps at their web site. The El Rito Creek campgrounds and the Pilar campgrounds are the closest semi-developed campgrounds (with composting toilets and grills– no hook-ups) about 20-30 miles away (maybe 40 minutes or less). If you look at a map, you can find all the other non-developed areas of Carson National Forrest near Ojo Caliente. I also hear the BLM is giving out 11 day camping permits to our students, you can find more information at their web site. There may be more camping options, I will list them as the become available. Lodging near, but not in, Ojo Caliente Abiquiu Inn and Hotel Abiquiu, New Mexico (505) 685-4378 Located just below the old Abiquiu pueblo, along the Chama River, about 45 truly beautiful minutes from Ojo Caliente, shorter if you drive fast. Prices range from $55-$145/night, some with full kitchens and living rooms others small private casitas or just a room. They have a restaurant that is open breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice grounds. The Inn at the Delta Española, New Mexico (505) 753-9466 Located in Española, New Mexico right off of Hwy 285-84 about 20-25 minutes from Ojo Caliente. A privately owned Inn in the heart of Española (the main small city of Northern New Mexico, not a flashy town!) which is a direct run to Ojo Caliente, only one turn…Rooms range from $100-$150/night all rooms are 600-700 square feet with a kiva fireplace and Jacuzzi tub, most rooms are queen beds, prices are for two people- no cooking facilities, continental breakfast included. Casa Del Rio Bed and Breakfast Chile, New Mexico (505) 753-2035 A nice B&B right on the Chama River, at the turn off of 285/84, about 20 minutes from Ojo Caliente. Old adobe house with two rooms at $110/night and a private casita at $135/night both include a full breakfast and a wake-up tray of coffee or tea. May think of doing a deal for the whole 10-day sessions-please call. Days Inn Española, New Mexico (505) 747-1242 Like all the other ones: $50/night for two people. 20 minute drive to Ojo Caliente. Places in Taos, New Mexico Taos is an hour to an hour and 15 min. commute from Ojo Caliente, if you are going to commute from Santa Fe or Taos they are equal distances from us, but Taos is a nicer, quieter city. There are 100’s of hotels, Inns, B&Bs and hostels. Please visit the Taos website for details and choices: www.taoschamber.com or call (505) 758-3873 Taos B&B association: (505) 758-4747 A small note of restaurants and food There are three-four restaurants within walking distance of the Santa Cruz church depending on the season. La Mesita and El Taquito Cafe are family run New Mexican-style restaurants who serve: Enchiladas, burritos, tacos, burgers, pasole (some days), and lots of chile; some fish and vegetarian options as well, pretty well rounded menus. Felipe Ortega has also been kind enough to cook wonderful lunches and dinners for students at his B&B, people car pool up and back, food is great and full of local flavor.The Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs has one restaurant that is open for breakfast/lunch/dinner. The shuttle from the airport will make a stop in Santa Fe at a natural foods market for those who would like to stock up for the week and do not have a rental car. I will have directions to grocery stores at the sessions, the nearest one is 23 miles away (not organic) and the closest organic stores are in Santa Fe and Taos both about 1 hour drive from Ojo Caliente.
