This property was obtained around 60+ years ago via the Homestead Act by a family who we have become very close friends with. Over the last 60 years it's only been used sparingly as grazing land for cattle. Since we've obtained the land we've been focused on learning it's history from those who have been here the longest while also being proud BIPOC owners of land in this area. We've also connected with the original people's of this land who were here during the time the land was colonized. We've found ceremonial and everyday pottery, crystals, and underground caves throughout the surrounding properties which we own.
Over the last 2 years we've learned about the Redwoods that have been wiped out of the area and that the mountain is eroding quickly. It has become our mission to plant indigenous plants and trees that are extinct from the area, reviving the plant like, reviving the mountain and doing what we can to encourage the water table to rise! Our plans for the 12 acres the campground occupies is to add an outdoor shower that can be used all year, installing solar powered water heaters & bathrooms as well as establishing a community meeting space and a greenhouse where we can host gardening classes and provide fresh fruits and veggies in this food desert! This land is sacred and we intend to continue treating it as such!
Turn left onto Mujeres Ranch Road off the 117 Highway between the 4 and 5 mile marker. Take this dirt road for 3 miles, pass Crater Road and turn left on Mujeres Grande Road (going west and down in elevation, if you're not going down you took a wrong turn), take this for 1 mile and make a left on Mujeres Valley Road at the private road closure and make a left into the campground parking lot.
Very nice place to get away. Very quiet. You get a real camping experience!
This location is definitely the best place you'd want to go if you are trying to run away from the city for a little bit or even forever 😜jk but I really love mujeres valley and the owners ! They are super genuine , cool and loving. Nature , the land is beautiful , earth is beautiful , the air that moves us is beautiful. Everything about this land is beautiful and you could truly feel it.
I stayed at the campgrounds for a month and all I can say is wow! The land is breathtaking, the guided hiking tours were out of this world, and the opportunity to reconnect with land as BIPOC is HUGE and they offer that for us at Mujeres Valley. Luckily, I was out for an extended stay and an event, so we worked and adventured. I strongly recommend this property for any modern nomads, vanlifers, and anyone looking to connect with nature....Especially if you are BIPOC!
Mujeres Valley Campground is an amazing place to consider when you want to get away to enjoy nature! My husband and I spent some time on the campgrounds and we’re eagerly planning our next trip up there!! The owners were so welcoming and created an atmosphere that made us feel comfortable and safe. They’re extremely knowledgeable of the environment and wildlife and they were kind enough to take sometime to teach us about some of the plants and animals that inhibit the land. My favorite part of the trip was harvesting piñon with them! The property is clean, calm and quiet, has trails for easy/moderate hiking, and is very spacious. The views of the hillsides surrounding the campgrounds during sunset were breathtaking. I HIGHLY suggest supporting this BIPOC business, you will NOT be disappointed!! 😁
This lovely couple is doing things with the most honorable intentions. The land is pristine clean, the location feels safe and secluded at the same time. The dogs had a blast and I didn't feel I had to worry about them running around camp. This is dry camping at its best, but the hosts will provide for all your needs with sweetness and smiles. Great location, great people and a feel good contribution to big and valuable dreams. Thank you! I left inspired!
