Easy access on a gravel road, open field with 5 stone firepits. Relatively hard to find a level spot, but not terrible. No shade, very open area - it’s also open grazing land so you may have some cattle visitors. Stayed midweek in August and was alone the entire time.
Outhouses available in the park about 5-10 min drive away if you need them.
Scout
There wasn’t really anything else I. The area, and this was close to the Highway, so it’s convenient. We got in around 10:30pm and called the number to check in as it says to do on the website. Man was super friendly and it was easy to pay and get in our spot. My kids were afraid to open the door to the bathhouse marked “outhouse” because it was dark, and I laughed the next morning because it was a big clean private bathroom/shower! Nice amenities. Some road noise but not too much until morning. Electric to charge everything up and water to fill up. Worth the stop!
Traveler
Always love driving by the crowded RV campgrounds 5 minutes to a peaceful, very reasonably priced oasis out in the country. This was a random find for us we travel somewhat unplanned in general directions. Nothing amazing here except for serene peace and quiet.
ScoutBasic BLM land, dispersed camping about 2mi outside the City of Rocks on the Bread Loaves side, perfect for rock climbers. At least 3 rock fire pits spaced out for several different groups with plenty of room and flat areas for tents. Appears to be a similar area on the other side of the road too

This review is from July 2024, and it appears to have been a dry year.
I found the campground over run with Red Currant Bushes which were full of mature fruit. There was also a lot of Crested Wheatgrass and Sagebrush. The 5 campsites are still in good repair, but due to the Red Currant Bushes, access to the springs area was difficult if not impossible. The Springs themselves, due to the low water table were all but dried up, with only a small puddle of water marking each one. The water pump is still missing it's handle, and is now dry, so no water could be pumped. There was a moose present when I was there, but he was down in the outflow area, and did not seem interested in anything but lying down there. The Vault toilet was clean, odor free, and well maintained.
I cannot recommend this campground for mid summer or fall.
Guide
Stayed here two nights to do a little climbing. Clean and close to Alma.
Guide
This campground is nice and there are clear markings and signs. The road getting in isn’t bad and the only downside was the noise of the cows. They were getting frisky in the night and making a lot of noise. I would still recommend this place!
GuideThis review was from a visit in May of 2014, See my other review for July 2024
Twin Springs, a stop on Hudspeth's cutoff on the Oregon Trail was an important stop because it was the only stop that had water for 22 mlles.
The road leading to Twin Springs is an oiled road until you reach the trail head.
There are 5 sites located in Twin Springs, each with it's own table. benches, fire pit and awning. The tables and benches are sturdy painted wood, the fire pit is a cement square with an iron grate on top and open at one side. Located between sites 1 and 2 is the vault toilet. Bring your own toilet paper as there is none supplied. The sites are on the outside of the central loop about 340 feet long with an old water pump in the center of the loop. the handle of the pump is gone, but you can pull the central rod up and down and it will pump. To the north and east, of the south end of the loop the ground slopes down to the 2 springs that the campground is named for. South west of the campground is Rock Creek, a small stream. There are lots of birds, and small animals around and a lot of wild flowers. The camp is isolated and generators should be no problem. There is no internet of any kind, just a nearby cell tower for cell phones. The camp is best in Spring and early summer, and brown and dry, and less pleasant in late summer and fall.
NOTE: these pictures are from 2012
ScoutThe scenery is beautiful in the area, but most of the dispersed sites are out of the actual "Campground". There were also a lot of people who had parked their campers for the allowable 14 days and just leave them there until the weekends. It made it difficult to find a spot that wasn't already taken with an empty rig. The 'neighbors' speeding down the dirt road at 11pm honking their horns when passing a campsite was also less than desirable. No cell service for TMobile.
Traveler
Small campground surrounded by very scenic rock perimeter. Fairly level electric sites that are easily reserved online. Very quiet night with almost zero traffic. We have stayed twice and will most like;y return additional times. Appreciate the site reservation marked with our name and convenient trash can at the site. Large site with covered picnic table on concrete patio is superb.
Scout
Took the long drive up and arrived at the campground at night. Didn’t see the snow and almost got stuck. Currently (5/10/24) there is snow blocking the entrance and impassible.
Guide
Close to City of Rocks and the small town of Almo. Hot springs in Almo. Small market in town which makes their own ice cream and has a little restaurant across the street but not much in the way of groceries. Couple other restaurants in town but they were not open while we were there. Also water not yet turned on in the campground so bring your own water if you are coming through early in the season. But it was quiet and we were able to explore and hike without running into many people
GuideClean facilities, campgrounds were clean, staff was nice and helpfull
GuideOkay all the photos and reviews for this site are for City of Rocks camping inside the park. The campsite according to the map is an entirely different campsite; so ignore all the information, pictures and reviews.
These are all FREE campsites. As the land is BLM it is public land and there is no charge. It is just outside of town and goes up the hill.
There are probably 15 or so campsites ranging from single use to a few group sites. The road is very bad. Cobbles, ruts, some large rocks. There were RV's and some sedans so it is possible just warning you this road is rough. There was very limited Verizon service there.
Each campsite had a fire ring and almost all of the sites have a picnic table. There was some construction going on so it looks like they are adding more sites possibly. There is no running water and no bathrooms. Most of the trees are too small to hammock but some people were. Most of the sites were taken when I went in late October but continuing to the end of the road there were 4 or so spots left.
It is just a few minutes from town so you can get to the hot springs or the restaurants really easy.
Guide
Camped near the end of October and all the other campsites were closed and locked. This one was open and I was the only one there. Beautiful campsites with tons of trees. Seemed like they all had stoves and picnic tables. There was service there too for Verizon.
ScoutBeautiful scenery. We booked through Roverpass #65 and couldn’t find it. The visitor center is a couple miles from the entrance. The visitor center itself has wi-fi, but rest of the area doesn’t. Screenshot the map of the camp ground, which is very spread out. Not every cluster has a bathroom, so bring your own t.p. It’s a stunning area but it wasn’t what we expected - no maps, no Wi-Fi, no bathroom.
TravelerNew park with nice open spaces w mostly level gravel parking. New trees that will provide shade in the future. Water and power sites available as well as dry and tent sites Free wifi which was good because there was no Verizon cell service. Also available at the ranger station. Walking distance to the ranger station and town. Close to the entrance of the City of Rocks. Onsite informal manager and owner both stopped by to ensure we did not need anything. A great experience.
Scout
Dont know where this is supposed to be never found it or a way to get to it very confused and sad
LegendReally beautiful and low key state park. The rock formations are really cool and the whole place has a calm and peaceful vibe. There are pit toilets but no other amenities, not even trash, so please take your trash out with you.
Camp sites are scattered all along the main road, and broken up into area numbers. Kind of confusing until you see it for yourself. The hard part here is that the sites are all so different that you really need to see the site for yourself before deciding where you want to camp, but the cell signal here is minimal and sites MUST be reserved through Reserve America (online or by phone). The highest sites towards the end of the road do have cell signal for both verizon and ATT, but everywhere else in the park there was no reception. There is wifi at the visitor center.
Another bummer about the reservation system is the $10 fee per transaction. Sites are $14/night, so we paid $24 for one night.
NOTE: when you are reserving on Reserve America, "City of Rocks RV, ID" is a private RV park in the area. The park you want to choose is City of Rocks National Reserve, ID.
The park is a designated dark sky park, which is cool, but from our site (#63) the lights from the town of Oakley were pretty bright on the horizon, though the stars in the sky were still amazing. We are in a 26ft class c and there were plenty of sites for us to choose from when we visited mid week in July. Very few other campers there when we were there. The paved road ends shortly after the visitor center but the dirt and rocky and at times washboarded road was ok in our motorhome. We stopped at the visitor center on the way up and got lots of helpful info from the rangers on duty.
No hookups or dump station at this park, but we stopped at the Castle Rock campground on the way out and filled our tank with potable water and dumped for free.
TravelerWe have stayed in city of rocks a few times! Tons of things to do and a lot to explore! Camp areas are spacious and right in to the rocks! Kids loved it!

They had no record of my appointment. Wifi was reliable and allowed us to stream movie. WIFI was open network. 37mbs download 24mbs upload. T-MOBILE was very good 73mbs download 38mbs upload. Site was not very level. One "bathhouse, but with heat. No issues with hook ups.
Guide
Decent little camp spot to enjoy some quiet time and the sound of the small river running by. During my trip I seen maybe 5-6 people coming up after my arrival. All but 1 kept going up, I stayed in the lower lot. The large spot to the right as you cross the entry bridge at the sign. Campsite was clean, bathrooms were clean. No cell service, clean air. Good spot for an overnight, but nothing super special.
ScoutWe pulled up just a few minutes before 8 pm on a very long road trip. Not particularly planning on spending the night in this tiny town, but really not wanting to be in the car any longer. $20 for a tent site. Shower room was a little bit away from where we stayed at, but it had warm running water, and didn’t smell at all. The owners were sitting outside and we had a brief conversation with them, they were very kind. About three other campers there, and we were all pretty spread out. The only noise we heard was some road noise as it’s kinda close to the highway. Very well maintained, but if you can’t sleep with road noise, this is probably not the spot for you.
TravelerI was here May 14th 2023. There was no charge until it officially opens on the 26th I didn't have an issue with mosquitoes but with the site right in a reservoir i would prepapre for them. Cows in the near by grassland lots of moo8ng at night and early morning.
Had water access at the site.
Cell service 4G with Verizon.
TravelerTook my dodge dart back here, almost 40 minutes on the gravel road from I-84. I think its about 11 miles but in some case there were large rocks that an SUV could easily handvke but i need to go slow and move some out of the way.
No cell service. Verizon
GuideWhen planning our visit, we were confused by something on the website, so I called to get clarification. The staff member that I spoke with was very friendly and answered all my questions. When we arrived, the staff member at the park was very friendly and accommodating. The site we had reserved had a next-door neighbor, but there were several empty sires without direct neighbors and she happily changed our site so we had more breathing room. This park has a big open field designated as the dog park and the RV park as a whole is very pet friendly. We were in site 17, which was a 50 amp site so we had to use an adapter for our 30 amp trailer. Hookups were conveniently located and included water, electric, and sewer. The site was a super level gravel pull through although they also had some back in spots and tent friendly spots. This park is right off the interstate but we really didn't notice the road noise. The bathroom and shower was clean and well kept. The town as a whole is small but cute and has a great city park. We didnt eat at the diner in town but were told by family that its a great place to eat. We were there for two nights and will definitely stop there again when we're in the area.
ScoutGreat place to stay very spacious sites and the view of Castle Rocks State Park are amazing. Within walking distance to town and to the entrance to The City of Rocks National Park.
Town includes a Steak house, a grocery store, hot springs, pizza and the City of Rocks headquarters.
Hosts are very accommodating.
