City of rocks is truly a hidden gem. Perfect for young and old with or without pets. A landing pad for boulders tossed from an ancient volcano, every turn around any corner is unique and only as challenging as you wish to make it. Keep your camera at the ready, particularly at sunset. Three and four story adventurers await the nimble while the well attended paths are easily accessible. The restrooms/showers are very clean and having staff on hand at the office is a major plus for information seekers.

We checked into the Campground around 3:30. We took a trail up into the cool rock formations for about an hour. Then we watched the sunset from up there. It was a SPECTACULAR sunset!

Small but fascinating little park. Get lost among the boulders for an hour or two. This sounds crazy but take the time to bang on some of the rocks until you find a "hollow spot" and then play that sucker like a xylophone. Not ultimately big enough to justify the drive out to southwestern New Mexico on its own, it lends itself well to a long weekend hiking around Silver City. And yes, one of the first rocks you see is delightfully phallic

So Fascinating!! Absolutely fell in love with this place...the vibe, the history, the nature. New favorite spot. Ive passes it a few time in previous adventures circling the U.S. - SO glad I didnt this time. I really enjoyed hiking up to table top and the sunsets ...exploring the rock formations, even the conversations with staff. Great experience I decided to stay longer then I originally planned.

This was our first experience camping at City of Rocks. We had sites 20-25. 21-24 are rather close to each other. 20 is elevated and fairly separated from the other sites, but you have to hike a good 500 feet in from the parking spot. The rocks and bouldering are the main draw here, as well as the dark skies for stargazing. Other than the wind, November is a great time to visit. Be aware that the gate is locked at 9 PM each night. Drinking water was available during our visit, and the visitor's center has ice, and many other items you may have forgotten. Deming and Silver City are the closest towns nearby, about 30 minutes away for each.
