Welcome to City of Rocks State Park Campground, a unique gem nestled near Faywood, NM. This place is a haven for those who love a mix of natural beauty and tranquility. The campground is open all year, so you can enjoy its stunning rock formations and desert landscape whenever the mood strikes.

One of the standout features here is the clean and well-maintained comfort stations, although they do have limited hours to conserve water. Showers and toilets are available, making your stay more comfortable. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure.
Visitors have raved about the knowledgeable and friendly volunteers who make the experience even more enjoyable. The campground also has good cell reception, particularly with T-Mobile and Verizon, which is a plus if you need to stay connected.
For activities, you can explore the rock formations right within the campground or venture out on one of the trails that lead into the desert. Biking is also a popular activity, and many campers have found the trails to be quite rewarding.
Whether you're here for a night or a couple of weeks, City of Rocks State Park Campground offers a unique and memorable camping experience. So pack your gear, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to explore this incredible landscape.

The majority of campgrounds on the Gila National Forest are primitive and offer dispersed camping. You may camp outside of developed campgrounds anywhere on the Forest at no charge. The Gila National Forest implemented Travel Management and we recommend you stop in to one of our six ranger stations and pick up travel management maps so that you are aware where vehicles are and are not permitted.
Potable water, toilets, and other amenities are not generally available. If you choose to camp outside developed areas, be sure to bring adequate water or be prepared to purify any water source before drinking. No permits are required to camp in wilderness areas.
The Gila National Forest has a 14-day stay limit, in any 30 day period, on all camping. Areas designated as “Day Use Only” are limited to posted hours, no overnight use.

If there has been a little snow during the winter, you will find a trickle of water in the small stream that runs through the campground.
