Anything our community should know before heading out to City of Rocks State Park? 4 Comments on “City of Rocks State Park” Joodie Klinke says: Oct 9 2016 at 11:06 am City of Rocks is extraordinary. We stayed there in February 2016 in the electric loop in our 24′ Chinook Destiny. The site was level (no blocks needed) and very clean. The primitive campsites among the rocks in the Pegasus campground looked like the coolest spots ever. One group of campers used the tall rocks at their site to show a “drive-in” movie one night (the sound of which was not detectable to other campers.) The hike around the Hydra trail was easy and peaceful. The restrooms and free showers were clean and adequate. There is a little garden area just outside the visitor center with stocked bird feeders, wildlife water fonts, and benches, which is a lovely little area to sit quietly and observe nature. We saw rabbits, quail, finches, and great horned owls. The sunsets are unparalleled, and the night sky offers spectacular star-gazing.

Your insight gives us answers we need, we appreciate it. Thanks! Reply L. Anglin says: Mar 1 2018 at 3:21 pm City of Rocks is otherworldly! We’ve returned for another stay because it’s amazing. The campsites are distributed amongst the giant rocks, most well situated for privacy and sweeping vistas (RV area excepted). The dark night sky will delight even the most serious ‘stargazer’. The park has embraced this theme, naming its sites after constellations and offering monthly sky viewing at its little observatory. The compact park’s four main hikes vary from simple walks to an uphill trail on the scenic Table Mountain ~ which at 5700+ ft., rewards with panoramic views. Facilities are well maintained and park access is good. All in all, City of Rocks is superb and we’ll keep returning.
