To get to City of Rocks State Park from Deming, take US 180 northwest 24 miles; then go northeast on NM 61 for 4 miles to the park entrance road
We stopped for the day and loved walking among all the rocks. There are camp sites in and around the rocks which makes each site very unique. Be sure to stop in the visitor center for a short 10 minute video and lots of information about the park and the geology of the park The Ranger today 10/18/23 was so informative and friendly.
This is a fun place to visit. Nice campsites tucked in between the rocks. Showers and clean bathrooms at the Visitor Center, clean vault toilets around the rest of the park. Road is accessible for cars, you don't need an SUV, or truck. Service was spotty(Verizon and T-mobile).
What a great experience for our whole family and for only $5! The restrooms at the visitors center have running water ,but the ones throughout the park don't. They are more outhouse style. We took about 1 hour to explore. Recommend taking hiking boots to climb the rocks.
We saw they have electric and water camp sites . Some are 1st come 1st served.
