Rockhound State Park Campground

So far I have appreciated a very clean campground and facilities. The street is very wide, so big rigs have no trouble backing in or leaving. Rockhounding is a real outdoor activity here. Sites all appear level at the trailer axle. Sites are well spaced.

A lovely campsite on the side of the Florida mountains, naturally, landscaped by desert flora, overlooking the chihuahuan desert. I loved that the campsites were on different elevations, and surrounded by desert plants. Each site had a picnic table on a concrete pad with a shelter, fire ring with grill and trash bin. Parking was on gravel. Even the gravel had collectible stones! Hot showers, and flush toilet and water available. There is one advertised fully ADA accessible site. If you want to stay here, you should make reservations well in advance. We were lucky and able to get a last minute cancellation spot day of. Do not miss a visit to the Geolapidary Store and Museum in the Adobe building with all the solar panels about a half mile down the road from the campground entrance. Fair T-Mobile coverage. Groceries and gas in Deming less than 30 minutes away. Non-Electric and full service sites available.

Great place here and also around here for the rockhound. Clean bathhouse, nice sites, extremely good views. Also went to Deming to Trina's Rock shop for her expertise on where to go rockhunting. Namely just North of Deming to flourite mine area. Be sure to get reservation before coming to Rockhound SP.

Absolutely stunning views and huge RV spots! We stayed 1 night in spot 27. It’s a massive pull through and pretty level. We stayed 2 nights in spot 14 and you can’t beat the view. Bring your e-bike because getting around is pretty steep.

Camp was clean and quiet with lots of available spaces midweek. You have to have a reservation prior to arrival. And don’t get confused and fill out the paper registration at the entrance. That is for day picnicking

Stayed here for a couple of nights, walked the trails. Used the dump station and everything was good. Nice camp spots.

Great campsites with full amenities. Showers, toilets, plug ins, water, well laid out. Hiking and rockhounding off the trails. Stayed for just one night passing through on a trip. Aparently this camp can get very busy so reservations are recommended.

Nice quiet, safe, park outside of Deming. There are electric sites but none available for us so stayed at dry-camp site. There are many nice large fairly level sites and a new bathroom/shower bldg. that was clean, well-kept. Staff was helpful and friendly. Handicapped sites available. Probably the most wild prickly paer cactus we've seen on mountainside. Park Spring Creek day-use park within about a mile drive further down and up steep dirt road. Nice vistas. Cell service.

Only State park where you can dig for thunder, eggs, and gems wonderful information center to learn about hard rock geology

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)

This is the second time we have spent a night here. The park is just a little out of town but upon a hill with amazing views. The campsites are mostly level and have water and electric and the showers and bathrooms were quite clean. Nice hiking in the area. Don’t forget to visit the gift shop where there’s some interesting information about the history of the area. All the camp hosts we’ve come in contact have been super friendly. you do have to make reservations online through reserve America. Very popular place in the fall and winter.

Clean, well kept. Great showers and clean bathrooms. Very welcoming host with a lot of information.

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

RSP is a nice state park. It’s quiet, the area is clean, and the hosts were great. If I were to do it again I would stay at a non electric site. They are closer to the mountains and more separated. For me the electric sites are too close with not enough screening between them.

Cornice camp ground nestled in the hills. Large pull through sites, some with hookups some without. We dry camped

Lucky to find a site for one night, non electric but still fine. Excellent host and facilities. Sunset and sunrise are spectacular!

We stopped by this park fkr one night along our trip. The sights and bathrooms were very clean.

No complaints about this location. Large sites, easy access, paved road right up to the entrance. Native garden to familiarize yourself with the plant types. Will definitely come back when we can stay longer.

It was beautiful. The camp site is well kept. Butch the camp host was on it. The showers and restrooms well kept. The wife and I will go back again. The walking trails were great as we'll

Spent the day at White Sands National Park dune sledding. Needing to make a loop back home(WA state)and finding a place to shower, this checked all the boxes. Pulled up to the site just before sunset, and fell in love. Very well designed state park, spaces out sites, beautiful views, potable water, showers, this place has it all. Also, the camp host Robert is super helpful. We now refer to him as Grandpa Robert.

This is a beautiful campground a few miles south of Deming, NM.   The campground hosts were excellent and welcoming.  Campsites were laid out well.  Beautiful scenery. 

Bathrooms and showers were clean and plenty of warm water in showers.

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.

This state park campground has a gorgeous setting and great layout. Sites are generously spaces, each one has a shelter and picnic table. Bathrooms are nice, with showers. There's a really nice group site with large covered area. Nice visitors center and small gift shop. A big bonus is that the area is well known for geode, which you are allowed to collect in small amounts of you find them among all the rocks. Great billing talks and superb views of the Florida Mountains. One loop of electric and water suites, one loop of non electric sites, plus a day use area. Camp hosts were really friendly.

The table area made the site seem like a private patio with a great view to

Great campground host and great spot for a sunset and mountains to the east.

This feels like a hidden gem. I’d never heard of this park and the photos I found online seemed very underwhelming. We only topped for one night on our way to Arizona, and we were so surprised at how beautiful this place is! Views of the mountains surrounding the campgrounds, lots of beautiful native plants. The grounds are well kept and landscaped so you can stay on the path and avoid the rattlesnakes. The campground hosts were very sweet, friendly, and helpful. We will definitely come back here.

Rockhound is one of the best State Parks we’ve ever stayed at. The sites are spacious and really well-kept. The bathroom is spotless. Showers were closed when we were there, due to Covid, but where in the same building as the bathroom and seemed very nice. This park has lovely little walking paths throughout and hiking trails for rock gathering. There are rattlesnakes in the area, though we didn’t see any and were told they don’t show up much in the campground. The park hosts were lovely, and the group campsite looked awesome! We would love to camp here again!

It is hard to get an electric site here with a reservation. Boondock for a day and quickly move over to an unreserved electric site once someone leaves. Fun hiking on a volcanic mountain. You can find geodes and thunder eggs. Clean bathrooms. Excellent wifi (verizon and at&t) with booster. No limit on # of pets. Close to Mexico for dental care and shopping.
