  City of Rocks State Park Campground

  Beautiful park.

  We parked our cargo van in the tent camping spot since we dont need water or electric hookups. The tent sites are up in the rocks and they are very cool. The bath house is new (located at the visitors center) and has clean showers and toilets. We really enjoyed staying here for the night.

  Pancho Villa State Park Campground

  State park camping

  We love this state park campground. RV and tent camping. Water and electric. Reservation sights are full hookup. No cabins. Always nearly full in the winter; always nearly empty in summer. It’s hot!! Three miles from the Mexican border and excellent margaritas!!

  Sunrise RV Park

  Desert camping

  I have to change my review, we spoke with Wayne the day before either he is forgetful or doesn’t listen well. We are looking for tent camping and always state that upfront because many camping grounds don’t allow it. He told us yesterday that the office closes early 1:30 pm, but just pick a spot and pay the next morning. When ever I go to settle up at 1030. Am he had forgotten the conversation. We have to pack up n leave. So no tents.

  Kingston Campground

  This is a cute little campground

  This campground is right off the highway, but not too much traffic. The small creek bed has nice water depending on the time of year. Too hot in the summer. Gets cold I. The winter, but it is a nice place when the weather is too cold to go further up the mountains to other campgrounds in the Gila. Vault toilet is clean. Only a couple of camp spots. We tent camp, but I think you'd be able to park a small camper or trailer.

  Wagon Wheel RV Park

  No thanks

  Shabby, looks like for long term residents. Tight spaces. Run down appearance. Off of main road so there is loud car as well as train noise. 55+ age restrictions. Checked it out but would not stay here. No tent sites available.  Has wifi, cable, and laundry. 30 & 50 amp as well as pull through sites. 

  There are other RV parks in this area that are much nicer and more welcoming and at around the same price.

  Ridge Park RV

  Roomy sites, quiet, near Gila NF, CD trailhead and Silver City

  This is an awesome park. The RV sites all have full hookups and are extra long and wide. Because the rv sites are situated around the perimeter of the very large greenspace and dog park, all sites have expansive views in all directions. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets! There are tent sites in the central green area with picnic table, firepit and shade trees. There is a great hiking trail, about 1/2 mile, that makes a loop. It is comfortably wide so you and your dog can see the trail and won't accidentally run into cactus. The park is a straight-shot easy 15 minute drive into Silver City and is convenient to Gila NF trails, several Continental Divide trailheads, the Catwalk and lots of other natural areas. Rosie and Bill, the owners are a wealth of info about the local sites and trails. The campground has a bathhouse, laundry, gym, communal library with books, games and puzzles.

  Sunrise RV Park

  Barren but Nice

  This park is off of a 4 lane main road so road noise is an issue. Trains and highway noise can also be heard throughout the night. The facilities are clean and well kept. Full hook ups 30/50 amp sites, no tents. Sites are a bit close to your neighbor. Large flat gravel lot typical of RV parks. 

  Have yearly rates so some spaces are occupied by residents. 

  This is a 55+ park. Pet friendly, WiFi/cable and laundry available.

  City of Rocks State Park Campground

  Quiet & Unique

  I spent two weeks here at three different sites, and while I was ready to get back to civilization (the park is fairly remote), I genuinely had a relaxing time.

  The bathrooms/comfort station are clean and fairly new—the only downsides are they’re only open from 7am-5pm to conserve water and it’s a bit of a trek by foot if you’re at one of the far campsites. I also had strong enough reception with T-Mobile to work remotely, and good service through Verizon as well.

  Site 25 (Crab): a truly iconic site within a park where nearly every site is a gem. Downside: very little privacy and no shade from the afternoon sun. Upside: Site is level, great sunset views and a quick walk to the pit toilets.

  Site 24 (Hercules): Connects to site 25 via a the rock formations, but more private as it’s not directly on the main loop. Again, close to the pit bathroom. There’s a fun and semi private climb up into the rocks to the left of the picnic table that will give you a stellar sunset view. Site is level and protected from the worst of the south/SW winds. I also saw the most wildlife from this site (marmot, roadrunner, jack rabbit, and more). Downside: the site curves rather drastically and is best suited for vans, tent camping, or very small RVs; little shade as the tree that used to offer shade was removed.

  Site 30 (Triangulum): hands down, the best site in the park IMO. Lots of shade and privacy as it’s set far back from the main road; it almost feels like you have the park to yourself. Pit toilets are conveniently at the end of the drive. Downside: people climbing through the rocks occasionally end up near your site, but no one ever wandered too far; the windmill does makes some noise but it’s really not too bad; this site has FULL shade, which is ideal unless you run on solar panels. For a few hours a day I had to back my van into the sun, which put it at a fairly severe angle as the drive slopes once you back out of the sweet spot by the picnic table; very little protection from the wind, but there is some.

  City of Rocks State Park Campground

  Peace and Quiet!

  Last week I visited Faywood, New Mexico which is located about halfway in between Silver City and Deming, and I came across a unique terrain with structures of Boulder rocks that are “formed of volcanic ash and sculpted by wind and water into rows of monolithic blocks”, according to stateparks.com; I had never seen anything like it.

  This unique and tucked-away gem has all the perfect essentials for a State Park including a Visitor Center, hot showers and clean restrooms, dry camping, picnicking and a Botanical Garden .

  I absolutely enjoy being in a place that is preserved in its authenticity and City of Rocks State Park is all of that and a bag of organic chips. It is not just another “area of attraction”, but it is a place for healing, stillness, discipline and community. The miles of hiking and biking trails through rolling grasslands gives you an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, walking into the fields to sit in stillness and listen to the migration of the numerous bird species disciplines your senses, and for those of you who enjoy making new connections you will quickly find yourself in conversations with humans alike or vastly different in ways that allow you see yourself, and others, in the form of how God sees us all — in love and in truth.

  Little Vineyard RV Park

  Overstay

  Clean, friendly, and flat. Planed an overnight stop but stayed 4 nights. Deming is in the center of many activities no matter your interests. Are you a rockhound or someone who wants a quick safe trip across the border or are you interested in visiting the chile capital of the world Hatch. Deming has you covered. Also a great museum

  Relaxing spots to hunt for rocks

  Small and quiet campground near Deming NM. We stayed at one of the primitive sites. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. It was very windy when we were there (January)

  Incredible views

  This campground is a real gem. The sites are HUGE and the views to die for. The town of Deming is 10 miles away, with anything you’d need, but the feel of the campground is remote.

  Panch Villa State Park, NM

  April 15-18, 2019. We had a good time here. We enjoyed the museum located in the park. The restrooms were very clean. Elevation 4,073. We had fun visiting Irma at her restaurant. New Mexico has a great state park pass. At the time it was $225 for a 1-year pass which covers campsite fees. If you chose to use water and electric, it costs $4 per day.

  SaddleHawk Ranch

  Truly amazing people !

  I booked a stay during a New Mexico snow/ice storm!! I went past the farm by a couple blocks and couldn’t get turned around or backed up. The wife opted to have her husband come get me into place. The farm is full of animals with a beautiful view and great rates. In addition it’s an EQUINE SAFE HAVEN. So if you ever come to visit please leave a little extra cash, They’re doing Gods work here and it truly a blessing to see.

  I will be back!

  Rockhound State Park Campground

  Nice Place

  Another really nice place in New Mexico. Near enough to the freeway, but far enough to not notice it. Near enough to town for a quick bite out or supplies, but far enough to not be bothered by it. Quiet and peaceful with good trails for walking the dogs.

  Facilities: Hot water, free showers, flush toilets, soap, dump station, not much more you need

  Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely

  Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, all sites are open to the sky if you needed to

  Solar: All sites are open to the sky for good solar

  Perfect overnight stay

  The area doesn't feel the safest but it's a cheap place to stay when in Deming, NM. The host was very friendly and checked on us after we set up. They have a pretty nice laundry facility considering the park is mostly a gravel lot. Our spot is level! The men's bathroom has a shower(didn't look), the women's is being renovated. There's also a fitness center. PROS: $20 full hookups Laundry room Nice host Residents decorations (lights)

  CONS: Sketchy area Loud street noise Questionable long term residents Older folk RV park (not really kid friendly but we have 3)

  Rockhound State Park Campground

  Breathtaking night skies

  We've stopped several times at Rockhound, generally for just one night en route to or from someplace else. The bath house is wonderful if you don't have a bathroom in your rig. There are electrical hookups at many of the sites, if you want to run AC, but these are often booked up by reservation people. There's usually room in the non-hook up section. A major attraction for us is the night skies, which are absolutely spectacular. There's also a nice view of the Deming city lights from up on the hill. A nice clean campground.

  Little Vineyard RV Park

  Mixed bag for a one night stay

  We stayed here in late October for just one night. We were travelling from Phoenix to Albuquerque, and had not made reservations because we weren't sure how far we'd get that day. About 4 hours before we arrived, we decided Deming would be our stop and we were able to get reservations at Little Vineyard. Granted, we were late in the day, and "beggars can't be choosers", but considering we saw many open spots(it's a pretty big RV part), the fact that we were place DIRECTLY under one of the few street lamps scattered around the park was truly awful. Unfortunately, we didn't really register this fact in our minds when we first were parked, and really saw the impact when we went to bed and the light was blaring through our vents! Our bedroom was lit all night. Truly awful; not sure why they would place lamps in such a way. Also, about every 4 spots has a picnic table. We received a spot WITHOUT, even though we saw nearby sights with tables and no lamps. So maybe we were punished for not reserving earlier. All this could be corrected in a future stay and we could chalk it up to bad planning/communication. 

  HOWEVER, the site is VERY near the interstate. We've stayed near interstates before and not had any real issues, but with the blaring light...we noticed. And then there are the trains! It felt like the trains(I think there were 4 that night) were passing right through the park itself. So in the end, my wife and I got a terrible nights sleep.

  The staff we interacted with were VERY friendly. The park is a little rundown, but has plenty of amenities from what we saw. On our site, the electric and water worked great. Sewer was right there. It has all the pieces you could want, especially for a brief stay. But I think if we stop in Deming again, we'll look further up the road to get away from the trains and interstate noise. And if we DO stay here again, we will insist on a spot away from that godawful light!!

  Ridge Park RV

  Nickel and dimed to death

  This is a very nice park as far as scenery, the staff which is a husband and wife, are friendly enough. With no offense to anyone else who has written positives on this park, we don't mean to rain on your parade. But the one thing that really threw us back was, is that there are virtually no amenities, that come without a cost, if a person wants to take a shower, let's say for 5 minutes, that cost you$3, for yourself, and three more dollars for your spouse, add that up daily then multiply by weekly and then by monthly. And you can see that that is insane for the cost, and one does not find out about this until you get to the campground and fill out the paperwork and then they let you know this at the last minute, I am a handicap person, and needless to say, I count on Campground showers as there are roomier, and we make sure that we pay more than enough in our stay, so that we can enjoy such. But sadly for the month that we were there between November the 20th to December 20th. There was nothing very pleasurable, about our stay there. On top of that, there is no internet, nor do they have any Commerce with any service that has internet service, even though other RV parks in that region have them. There is no cable either. So basically the only thing that you get is your spot, running water, trash, and Sewer, for 425 per month. Needless to say as a forwarding to anybody, if you plan to travel between that park there and Silver City New Mexico it is approximately 12 miles between the two, but the expence gets up there quik, bth ways if you drive a truck. We camped at Ridge Park RV& Campground in a Travel Trailer.

  Faywood Hot Springs

  Best. Place. Ever.

  I was worried that this place wasn’t open due to the fact there were only two reviews and it had been a while since a review. I can happily share that they are open and thriving. I was driving from Gila Cliff Dwellings towards White Sands NP and needed a place to camp. I passed some dispersed camping along the way, but most of the cultivated sites were closed, I’m guessing due to COVID as New Mexico has really cracked down on their camping and I ran into lots of sites that were either closed or only open to residents. Anyway, this place was a STEAL. For only $21 (the typical price of most regular vault toilet and picnic table camp sites), you get heaven on earth. You wouldn’t expect it driving in from either direction, but the sites themselves are extremely shaded and surrounded by trees and as private as possible given the close proximity to neighbors. I stayed at site #47 and even though I was right next to the pools and bathhouse, I couldn’t be seen at all from those places. There’s a potable water tap at EACH campsite, free showers, unlimited 24/7 access to hot springs (clothing required & clothing optional pools), a clubhouse to wash dishes or cook or simply hang out inside in a comfortable chair to read or play games at a table), several bathrooms, phone service (and I didn’t have any driving in or out), peacocks and other wildlife to admire, friendly staff, firewood for sale, labyrinth maze, short scenic trails to watch the sunset and rise, inside facilities, amazing cabins (cheapest one is only $60 and comes with an hour long soak in a private pool which is otherwise $28 for one hour), etc. I could go on and on about this place. The best $21 I have ever spent to spend the night anywhere in my entire life and I am always camping and traveling. A literal oasis. I soaked from 7pm-11pm and had the pools to myself several times on a Sunday evening. Everyone was respectful and there was no sense of party / loud groups as so common is seen at hot springs. Alcohol allowed.

  Modern Stone Age Campground

  Little bit expected Fred and Barney to rumble up from around one of these massive natural stone megaliths at any moment! Hey this campground is nice, for being situated in the middle of nowhere desert land! Be aware: it’s hot, it’s cold, it’s sandy, it’s windy, you might not be able to stake your tent where you want (um rocks, big underground rocks). Each non-electric campsite is nestled between the huge rock formations! There’s a group campsite that’s also used to host star-viewing parties (June 21st if memory serves). There is also an RV area with hookups out in the suburbs. The visitor center has some history and information about the area as well as showers and (I assume) potable water!

  Trail biking and bouldering enthusiasts will love this picturesque campsite!
