Nature Immersion awaits you at Santa Fe Tree House Camp & Wilderness Preserve
Welcome
The Santa Fe Tree House Camp, managed by The Wilderness Institute, is a non-profit organization protecting and stewarding a 156-acre Wilderness Preserve open for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy for eco-camping retreats, summer camps and experiential education. All guests will have the opportunity to experience the joy of nature immersion, exploring miles of hiking trails, learning about water conservation, recycling, campfire safety, Leave No Trace outdoor ethics and other wilderness education topics. Be sure to join us for our free outdoor activities including sunset walks, nature photography, birding and nature hikes offered each week.
It is our hope that we can inspire visitors to gain a new appreciation of nature while learning about ecology and sustainability principles and best practices.
Our preserve, your campground
Our wilderness preserve is situated in northern New Mexico’s piñon, juniper, and ponderosa forests at the southernmost reach of the Rocky Mountains within the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. It’s characterized by volcanic rocks (like rhyolite tuffs and basalt) layered over older sedimentary rocks, which creates unique mesa formations and canyons. Our preserve supports a wide variety of life, including diverse mammals, vibrant bird species like the Western Tanager and hummingbirds, and reptiles like the prolific short-horned lizard.
Wildflowers, whispering winds and star-filled wonders await you…
