Journey Southwest Resort is a riverside glamping retreat tucked along the scenic banks of the Animas River, right in the heart of Farmington, New Mexico. Just steps from the mall and only minutes from the city’s historic downtown, our location offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience — where guests can enjoy the comforts of town while being surrounded by the look, feel, and peace of the wilderness.

Designed for travelers seeking a natural escape without sacrificing comfort, Journey Southwest Resort invites you to experience the outdoors in a thoughtful, eco-conscious setting. Though we’re close to everything, our retreat feels miles away — nestled in a private, wooded riverside zone that provides an immersive, restorative stay.

We are proudly off-grid and environmentally friendly, relying on solar power for our energy needs and utilizing water conservation practices throughout the site, including greywater systems and water-efficient fixtures. Our bathrooms use cassette toilets that are safely emptied daily, and our showers and handwashing stations are designed to minimize waste while maintaining comfort and cleanliness.

Guests can enjoy a communal cooking and dining space, complete with BBQ grills and picnic tables, perfect for gathering with friends and fellow travelers. Whether you're watching the sunset over the water, relaxing in one of our nature hangout spots, or exploring nearby attractions, every moment at Journey Southwest Resort is designed to bring you closer to nature — without leaving the essentials behind.

Journey Southwest Resort is more than a place to stay — it's a new way to connect with the outdoors, recharge in nature, and experience the best of Farmington with a lighter footprint.
