There were signs that stated no overnight parking.
Haven't been there since 1969 and years after. We could walk down nice. Like Montizomas Castle it's a Pueblo cite, walked thru it to. But both are off limits. So sad😔
I think they have that available there. If not, I know there are a few campgrounds nearby just off of I-40. Also, when you are at Meteor Crater, be sure to check out the movie at the visitors center. The crater is a cool hole in the ground. But, the movie tells all of the cool facts about it.. very interesting.
I don't think it's "banned", I didn't see any signs saying no overnight parking.
