Overall Rating
City of Rocks had reservations for every site. We went outside the Reserve on Emory Canyon road. There are several turn outs on the road. Some big enough for a group some are just a single site. Pastoral Sage brush area with cattle. We had a single site. If we were staying a few nights in the area we would keep the site.

The campground is stretched out over the rocky landscape making most sites secluded. Pit toilets are spread out throughout the campground. Most spots are not flat and are not suitable for large RVs.

The campground is stretched out over the rocky landscape making most sites secluded. Pit toilets are spread out throughout the campground. Most spots are not flat and are not suitable for large RVs. Campers vans and trucks can find a flat spot but site 50 isn't recommended. Cell Service is sparse to non-existent. We found a single bar of LTE at our site and the ones above us but below 3G was the best we could find. Getting here from the northeast is easy on paved road. We came from the south over the mountains and the dirt/gravel roads were rough.

Arrived mid day, sunny crisp. Sites are layed out on a twisty, sometimes washboarded gravel road which winds upslope from the valley floor. Most sites are located just off the main road on short spurs. Many are tucked in and around spectacular granite outcrops. Amazing scenery, rock formations, quiet and respectful neighbors. Whether you are a rock climber or not, this location is stunning. Dont miss it.

We stumbled upon the City of Rocks NR, purely by accident, on our way from Oregon to southern Utah in October. What looked like an intriguing side trip only about 30 miles off the interstate became one of our favorite places during our five week road trip. There are several ways into the park, and the dirt road through is well-maintained.
The City is a mecca for rock-climbers and many of the 64 sites were populated with young, lithe and wiry groups of these focused athletes. Thankfully, our 22 foot van fit snugly between the giant boulders that line the camping sites along the valley. There are a half dozen centrally located vault toilets that anchor each cluster of camping sites. Water is available at Bath Rock and Emery Pass. We got no Verizon signal at all.
Half of the sites are reserve-able, the others a walk-in only. We felt really lucky to have found a perfect site with outstanding views on a whim.
As hikers, we were in the minority, but we found some challenging and scenic trails to keep us occupied. Each morning and evening one could look out along the rock silhouettes and see fellow colorfully garbed campers taking in the incredible sunrises-and-sets.
Because no generators are permitted and each site's unique shape was dictated by granite fins and boulders, longer trailers and RVs would fare much better at the nearby Smoky Mountain Campground in the Castle Rock State Park. Internet is great there, and full hookups with hot showers are available.
The tiny town of Almo has a gas station and grocery store with the essentials, and free wifi can be had at the Ranger station just outside of the park.
