I am a nature adventurer. Rock collector. Earth lover. This place is so unique and energizing. When visiting-Wear GOOD SHOES OR BOOTS. Just an area of God's wonders. Rock formations are really bizarre and great area for photography. Hiking area's open scenery. You can camp there in primitive sites jnside/between the Rock formations or reg elect/water ones. Definitely a great time.... Simply, It Rocks!!!

Driving in was truly amazing seeing campsites tucked into the rocks as if it’s receiving energy. My wife and 4 leg companion enjoy our time here and have made the trip a few times, never disappointed. The rangers are friendly helpful and full of knowledge they have an on-sight shower. The sky views are truly breathtaking.

This was yet another adventure of the Mutt, Sidekick, and Mighty dog. The park itself is very well taken care of the staff is amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. There are just a few electric/water sites, NO dump station. The rest of the sites are all dry camps, but are well situated and reasonably level. We didn’t have much trouble getting our small camper situated. There are showers by the visitor center, warmish water and clean. There is also water available if you forgot to fill your tanks before coming. If you’re looking to hike or bike, the trails are well marked and will be just the ticket, the rocks themselves give a multitude of places to hike and explore for both you and your 4 legged kids. If you’re coming out during the warmer or hot months, make sure to bring LOTS of water on your hike.This has made our list of top ten spots to come back to.

Great for outdoor family fun! Plenty of climbing and hiking and beautiful sights to see. Remember to bring $5 for the entry fee and food for a picnic. You can also reserve a spot online for the reserved spots but there are non reserve spots as well. Plenty of public restrooms and trash cans at each site.
