The location of this state park is not well marked on the NM state highway map - and the ladies at the visitors center in Lordsburg told us it was located on US180... but it is located on Hwy 61. We had an interesting chat with the friendly volunteer at the Visitor Center. She even gave us literature for our... More

Small but enjoyable state park to visit. Interesting rock formations and fun to hike around. Perhaps a few too many picnic areas for my liking which tend to impinge on the natural scene. Many Utah state parks are also overdoing the recreational aspect at the expense of the overall environment. If you only come to eat and talk loudly why... More

This is probably the nicest state run camping ground (full RV hookups) I have seen. It is extremely unique in the layout and camping placements. Lots and lots of photo ops, wonderful trails to hike that are very well marked, and vary in length, and is well worth a side trip just to see and briefly explore all the little... More

The park has very interesting geology and a good trail system will take you around to most of it. Many camp sites are dramatically placed among the huge rocks. The Visitor Center had useful exhibits and displays but was only open for a couple of hours each day. The RV area is adequate, though pretty stark and exposed. The restrooms... More

My husband and I took the drive to see the City of Rocks not knowing what it was all about. We just loved it. We paid for a day use which cost us $5. We drove right up into the rocks and had a picnic before exploring the park. They also have camping sites. It felt like we were in... More

The rock formations are a lot of fun to climb around on and are a great place for a game of hide and seek. The best part is that your kids can't really get lost. There is a road that encircles the whole park, which isn't very big. We told our kids (ages 9 and 12) that if they got... More

You'll enjoy hiking among and over the huge natural boulder formations at City of Rocks State Park. Every turn leads to another formation to explore. Nice visitors center and museum. After a hiking around City of Rocks, take a leisurely soak at the nearby Faywood Hot Springs.

Not much to see or do, but it is a nice place to do some trail hiking. If lucky you might find a nice gem.

We camped at another state park in the area so just visited this one. The camping sites here are unique as they are scattered in amongst the large boulders. We did the circuit walk around the park, easy going track but not in amongst the rocky outcrops as we had envisaged. It was cold the day we were there, even... More
