RV rental City of Rocks State Park, NM: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

One of the most common reasons that people come motorhome camping at the park is, of course, to marvel at the incredible rock formations that can be found there. The rocks have formed high pinnacles, some of which reach a height of 40 feet, all of which are separated with flat lanes that almost resemble streets, adding to the reason it was named 'City of Rocks." Just wondering through these incredible formations can take hours as it is worth taking your time to really admire them. Overall there are 5.5 miles of hiking trails around the park, all just waiting to be explored before heading back to the state park RV campgrounds. Surprisingly, despite the desert landscape, wildlife viewing is a popular activity here, especially birding. Birds often found here include the western kingbird, cactus wren, scaled quail, sparrow, finch, curved bill thrasher, and western scrub-jay to name a few. For those that have real patients, sightings of lesser nighthawk and the great horned owl have also been reported. Visitors are also able to see a sampling of southwestern plants and animals, especially in the park's desert botanical garden home to all sorts of desert plant such as yucca and bunny ear cacti as well as deer, antelope, and jackrabbits. Because of how remote the park is, as soon as the sun sets, the sky becomes flooded with stars. The sight is so impressive that once a month it holds a Star n Parks program where the Star Observatory is used for a green laser tour of the cosmos, an experience unlike any other and one of the reasons that people rent a camper near City of Rocks State Park.
