City of Rocks National Reserve Visitor Center

Patrícia Gruhala

Friendly but very unhelpful staff when it came to camping. There are only about 7 sites that are first come first serve. Even though we said we wanted to stay for 3 nights we got suggested campsites that are reservations only so you can really only stay a single nights cuz somebody could book you over. It’s worth noting that there’s no reception at the rocks and the visitor centre is only open till 4.30 pm. After a handful of turns, we secured a place but it is frustrating to see reserved yet free spots. The system should really be re-evaluated. The National Reserve is absolutely stunning and interesting on the other hand. It is a shame that our stay got rather bittersweet because of the management of the camping.

This is a world renowned climbing location attracting rock climbers from all over the world. Even if you are not into rock climbing, it’s still a beautiful location to visit. It also is in the area through which emmigrants passed on the California trail.

Amazing park to visit. Very beautiful and interesting with lots of trails, camping spots, variety of rocks to climb or just have a good look at and appreciate the beauty of them. Some great historical sites to see and have a first hand look at like very old California Trail Travelers Names written on stone with axel grease that's still visible. Lots of great nature to appreciate and view as well

Rangers were extremely helpful and informative helped us choose a hike. This place is a national treasure, reminds you this country is worth fighting for. Deserves a week of attention, not just the afternoon we had so we'll go back.
