Sometimes we get a lot of requests, and might miss them because we are doing projects away from our phones. Therefore, if you contact us at least a day in advance or more, we are more likely to see your request and approve it. It's really good if you include in your request your estimate time of arrival. We don't like people arriving after dark usually. Our parking lot has room for a few vans and smaller RV's. We have hosted people up to 30', and that is really the limit. If you tow we ask you including the tow vehicle and the towed trailer both together in measuring your length. Busses, schoolies, Vans, or smaller towed RV's like the smaller scamps are ok. We have apartment with Airbnbers and other guests so we need enough room for other vehicles to navigate around the parking lot. When our parking lot is full we refuse requests. We have had many great experiences with boondockers, and we also have a boondocker profile and boondock ourselves. We like to connect with boondockers who do stay for a couple of nights and sometimes when time allows we are able to share meals, RV or Van life tips, travel experiences etc. We always have projects going on and if you stay a few nights and feel like giving back, or doing Karma Yoga, then please feel free to ask if there is anything you can help with. We ask everyone to chip in when they can to keep the place looking good. there is also kitchen and picnic table. There is section of this listing with our house rules that are needed to help us to maintain a good quality of life for all the tenants, RVers, and the expectations of our paying airbnb guests, who might be resting or doing remote work. We do everything we can to live up to the description on our airbnb listing which describes us as a quiet healing place. We sometimes have clients visiting in the front house where we have wellness services and health related classes. If you'd like to know more about us visit https://gompaapts.com/ Suggested Local Attractions of T or C include Hot Spring spas, Rio Grand River, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Historic Downtown, Geronimo Museum. A great artistic downtown within walking distance. Also Spiritual places within walking distance, and many unique natural spaces of wonder.

House Rules

We sometimes have Airbnb guests or travel nurses who are staying in the apartments and from our descriptions on airbnb and other sights people who book apartments have the expectation of it being a quiet and peaceful place. We like to keep our 5 star ratings on these sites. So therefore we ask at all times that music or TV volumes in your RVs and Vans be kept to a minimum to only be heard inside your rigs and not be heard by others. Please especially keep quiet-hours for example the volume at which you are talking if you are near the apartment windows to a low volume between 9:45pm and 6am. Dogs that bark at night are not allowed, and if they bark a lot during the day that could also be a problem. They need to be well trained to not run and jump on people or be kept on a lease to avoid them approaching the tenants. Loud generators are not allowed but please ask us because we can maybe have you park in a space by the alley where it is less heard by others. We rather you plug in to shore power. Quiet dogs and "silent" solar panels are always welcome LOL. We have an apartment that is like a "community room" just dedicated for social gatherings and movies with a big TV that we often allow Boondockers, tenants and other guests to use this room for movies or place to relax. It also has a shower we sometime offer to people who do not have one. (Please contribute $2 per shower, always ask us first if you need access to the community room and that access is usually granted to people staying a few nights). When people spend a few nights sometime we are able share movies or have meals together. We do not allow boondockers to take books out of our library but just read them on site. We ask Boondockers to not be intoxicated on the property. We do not partake in 420 or want recreational substances used on the property. We run a health clinic at times and have allergies to cigarette and other smoke. So this property is a no smoking zone. NO SMOKING ON THEPROPERTY. (We even prefer you to not smoke in your rig if you are parked in our lot because the smoke does travel outside). Please treat all tenants, guests and others staying here with graciousness and awareness. We have an outdoor coin laundry washer and dryer on site (We are usually very happy to let you do laundry but still please ask us first before using it, just in case a machine is broken or we need to prioritize it for tenant use as there are sometimes days when the machines are in heavy use because when airbnbers are scheduled for checking out they have to clean their apartments and sometimes rely on the machines within a certain time frame) With all these rules about quiet being said, don't get us wrong we have a picnic table and often eat meals outside and socialize. When nurses book an apartment we ask them to tell us if they are working night shifts and we put usually them in the ones further from the social areas. Focusing on these rules is important but we also do enjoy the outdoors and have fun here. Before you arrive, its good to share your ETA or some window of time you think you will get here. We can either greet you when you arrive, or if we are not around, we will message you where in the parking lot is the best to park. (Depending on the time of year, we often prefer boon dockers to arrive before dark so its easier to orient you to the property.) For everyone's safety and security, the outdoor parking lots, the outdoor common areas of the property, and area and library area of the community room, are protected By 24-hour audio and video surveillance, By being on the property in these spaces, you acknowledge and agree to be recorded. We know of other free camping spots in the area. if you have any feeling you feel you cannot follow these rules, please ask us to share with you other locations around the area.

Location

Access Road Conditions: Near the center of town so easy to access. When we approve your stay we will give you the apartment number (s) of where you can park in front of. The gravel parking lot is pretty level but gravel parking lot is noisy when you drive too fast on it on it we try to avoid driving in and out between 9:45pm and 6am. Please avoid headlights shining in the apartments windows during those hours. We have a back entrance to the parking lot from the alley way which sometimes is easier. We will direct you when you get here where to park. When we say we can accommodate RV's up to 30 feet, we mean pretty much your total length not being more than that. Sorry but we do not have room for "towed trailers", so we only allow all-in-one units like class B's, Vans, and smaller schoolies, or medium to small motor home that have motors and are drivable.

host Profile

Hosted By Joshuagompahost

Age:

45-55

My name is Joshua I have a harvest hosts account and a property where I host a lot of boondockers myself, called Gompa Apartments, in Truth or Consequences, NM. https://membership.harvesthosts.com/member/host/profile/gompa-apartments-t-or-c I have done a lot of boondocking over the years even before this website existed and I have hosted a lot of boondockers and have had great experiences traveling and hosting. Many years before boondocking I was active on couchsurfing and hosted many people and also traveled around the world I'm in a great classic Roadtrek van with solar, 600amphr battery bank, kitchen with appliances, water tanks and a shower in the van. so I am completely able to be off grid. I travel alone with no pets and follow all house rules of hosts and contribute food and lend a hand when I can. I enjoy cooking and sharing meals and stories. I also have a lot of education in Asian Medicine and many other interests and hobbies. If you see my reviews as a host you can see more about me.

    Easy parking. Level and very easy access. If you have lower dump valves on your rig like I do, be a little careful entering. Josh is a very good communicator. Excellent wifi and electricity. Quiet location with very easy access to walk or bike around town.

    The site was level and quiet. The wifi was excellent and Josh was very helpful and accommodating. He is working to renovate the property and make this a special place. I would recommend this host. T or C is a very interesting and the hot springs are very relaxing and reasonable. Los Arcos is a great restaurant.
