City of Rocks RV

29 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Almo, ID
City of Rocks RV offers wide open mountain views at the entrance to the City of Rocks National Reserve. We provide partial hookups (water and electric 20/30/50), "Big Rig" pull-thru sites, Pioneer Bathrooms (rustic outhouse), and the beauty and seclusion of the Silent City of Rocks and the Almo Valley. We also have tent sites available. Enjoy our new enclosed, leash free, dog play area. We are conveniently located just outside the entrance to the Park on the City of Rocks Road. Big Rig access has always been limited in the City of Rocks so we made every site large with pull thru access. Public RV dump station is only 1 mile away. Whether you are here to climb, camp, hike, snowshoe, bird, fish, hunt, stargaze, relax, or all the above, we offer the ideal base-camp. We newly opened April of 2020 and as a result we don't yet have mature shade trees and the landscaping is scattered native grasses. We are continuously working on landscaping improvements to make your future stays even better. New for 2024, expanded wind fences and plug in electric at each tent site! We hope to see you soon!

The best camping near Castle Rocks State Park guide

Overview

About

Lose yourself in the epic beauty at Castle Rocks, where hundreds of trails to blaze and a profound level of history will get you in touch with Mother Nature in no time. Rock climb, horseback ride, hike or bike—there's no wrong way to play on this adult playground. Craving some formal instruction? Check out group star gazing sessions, learn about birds and wildflowers, or even take a class on cooking with a Dutch oven. Internet junkies will be able to get their fix at the lodge, though it won't be hard to escape from technology here. Once the land is blanketed in snow, enjoy all the ice climbing and snow-shoeing this gorgeous locale affords. Close to the California National Historic Trail as well, adventure starts here.

When to go

The best time to visit Castle Rocks State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when all facilities are open and the weather is conducive for outdoor activities. Winter brings closures and limited access, particularly from mid-March to mid-June due to construction, making it less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Check for seasonal closures, as facilities may close for construction, affecting access to amenities.
  • Day-use locations are open from 7am to 10pm, but hours can change at the park manager's discretion.
  • For a smooth visit, reserve your park spot in advance by calling 1-888-9-CAMPID.
