Camping

During summer months we recommend advanced campsite reservations, especially on weekends and holidays.
 

Camping in City of Rocks, or nearby Smoky Mountain Campground is a great way to enjoy being out in nature. Relax beneath the cool shade of aspen, juniper, mountain mahogany, or pine. Spend the night surrounded by impressive granite formations and starry skies.

Tent campers are welcome in any campsite. RVs can be accomodated at any campsite in Smoky Mountain Campground and select sites in City of Rocks. There are 3 group campsites availailable for larger groups of people.

 

• All campsites have a fire-ring/ground grill and a picnic table.
• Clean vault toilets are located in central areas.
• Drinking water is available at Bath Rock and Emery Pass Picnic Area (April-October).

Smoky Mountain Campground has 30 amp electrical hook-ups at each site and water service during the summer months. There are flush toilets and showers open May-September and a vault toilet open year-round at the equestrian trail head.
