Come and spend a night, a week, a month or stay long-term at our small
but comfortable DESERT HAVEN ADULT RV CAMPGROUND adjacent to the
no-kill Animal Refuge. Income generated from RV site rentals is earmarked
to cover the operating expenses of DESERT HAVEN ANIMAL REFUGE.
WE OFFER a large, full hook-up RV site for $12 per night, utilities
included; $50 per week, plus utilities; or $150 per month, plus utilities.
The RV campground is located between two large lakes only minutes away -
Elephant Butte Lake to the North, and Caballo Lake to the South. The
entire area is known not only for its Old West hospitality, its hot mineral
springs and surrounding ghost towns, but it is also a paradise for hikers,
rock-hounds and bird watchers.
To reserve a camp site, contact Operations Coordinator and Camp Host
Freddie Loveless at 575-894-2778 or email Eliana Aubin.
Desert Haven Animal Refuge is located in south-central New Mexico, near
Truth or Consequences, between Albuquerque to the north and Las Cruces to
the south. From I-25, take exit 75, then take a sharp right onto HWY
187. Desert Haven is located 2 miles south of the exit, at mile marker 34.
All profits go towards the operating expenses of Desert Haven property.
The Work Camper Program
Our work campers are RVers who commit to spend several months or more
at Desert Haven Animal Refuge, sharing in the daily care of our animal
residents and helping maintain and upgrade the facility. Work campers also
work with the volunteer crew at Paws & Claws Thrift Shop, the major
source of funding for Desert Haven. Their time (an average of 20
hours/week per single or 30 hours/week per couple), talents and new ideas
are exchanged for a spacious RV site and utility allowance.
At Desert Haven, service oriented work camping singles and couples are
welcome year-round to help care for the domestic animals who live here
until adoption or to the end of their natural life. While there is always a
need for routine maintenance at the no-kill facility, large building projects
are usually left for the Fall, Winter and Spring, when the crew is the
largest. Winter visitors in the surrounding communities team up with the
volunteers and work camping crew every Tuesday at the Refuge, to help
with projects as well as with the animals.
The area, overlooking the nearby Rio Grande corridor with the Caballo
Mountains in the background, is beautiful year-round. The park is small,
well tended and peaceful and the people are wonderful. Read about the
experiences of some of our former work campers:
- Jo & Fred Wishnie
- Lucille & Larry Tillotson
- Camille & Ed Pronovost
- Liane & Doug Clark
- Virginia Nylen
Please consider us in your extended stay plans. You will be glad you did!

Work Campers, long-term and seasonal volunteers are a vital part of the
on-going success of Desert Haven Animal Refuge. We need the help and
support of each and every animal loving individual who wants to work
together with us to make a difference in the life of domestic animals in
need.
Together, we have the unique opportunity to witness, first hand, the
changes that we make in the lives of the animals that we rescue and that
we save from neglect, abuse, and often from a lonely and miserable death.
Together, we are an integral part of a network of caring and kindness
whose value extends far beyond the simple care of the animals at Desert
Haven Animal Refuge.
Join us in this labor of love in progress
