Go camping in City of Rocks National Reserve

Most of them feel quite secluded as they are nestled among the trees and large boulders of the park. Camping is only allowed in designated areas and a $12 fee is charged per day for each camping site used. Each site is limited to eight people and one vehicle and there is an extra $8 pet night charge for a second vehicle. Camp sites can be reserved online and reservations are recommended during the weekends when the sites fill up quickly. Otherwise, you can pay for your camp site at the Ranger station east of the park in Almo.

The campsites are primitive, facilities include picnic tables, bbq grills and fire rings. There are pit toilets scattered about the sites, all within walking distance but some of the more secluded walk-in sites may be a few minutes walk away. There are two fresh water wells within the park.

There are no showers in the park. The nearest showers are at the General Store in nearby Almo ($4 for a shower and $0.50 for a towel rental). Another pleasant option is to visit the new Durfee Hot Springs in Almo where you can combine a shower with a hot water soak.

Garbage bins are located near the pit toilets within the park.

Stay safe as Muslim in City of Rocks National Reserve

The primary dangers while staying in the park are the natural elements. The high elevations of the park ensures that the weather changes constantly. In the summer, hot days coupled with cold nights are the norm and it is not uncommon to experience snow during any time of the year. Wind and rain can also be extreme and dangerous to the unprepared visitor. Though coyotes are common in the area, and cougars are present, wildlife does not pose much of a threat in the park as long as food is not left in the open.
