City of Rocks State Park is your self proclaimed “sponsor of adventure” and we agree! The entire park clocks in at just one square mile, but what’s inside this tiny little park is huge fun. The park is filled with pinnacles, or giant rock formations, that were formed after a volcanic eruption 34.9 million years ago. Today, these rad, red rocks tower over while you hike or bike through the grid like maze at their base. The park also offers a stunning botanical garden, stargazing, and views of the local wildlife. Be sure to stop by the brand new visitors center and get the best tips from the rangers before setting up camp in their comfy campgrounds. Silver City and Deming are close by for access to more fun. A little park that packs a big punch, we’re sure you’ll be mayor of this city in no time!

Lawrence & Dina couldn't be better hosts and have a perfect place to stay. Our site had a picnic table under a tree which was perfect for our morning coffee. We got in too late to see the sunset but loved the sunrise. Beware of choosing the "open directions in app" option. Twice it took us the wrong way. Third time was a charm (and verified using the address). If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stay there again. Also, if you are heading east in the morning and you like old school yet quirky diners, you have to try The Pit on 292 Cafe just outside Los Cruces for breakfast. Great food and character. A fun way to start your journey.

Alex, the owner, was great. Our site was under huge elm trees and therefore we had lots of shade. Alex’s 3 big dogs were very laidback and sweet. We took the 2 hour tour and were amazed at his knowledge of the Lyons, Campbell’s and the history of the ranch. The family has collected furniture, art and artifacts from all over the world which were amazing. The ranch is nice and quiet. The weather was rainy and therefore wasn’t conducive to a swim but the pool looked inviting. The wood fired hot tub and showers weren’t available when we were there but are a work in progress. The restrooms were a little primitive inside the saloon but were clean. Our grandson enjoyed playing pool inside the saloon. Understand that the ranch and buildings are very old and you shouldn’t expect it to be pristine. Consider it an experience not to be missed. I’d go there again and the tour is a must!

Weekend Trip to ESCAPE to the L.C. Ranch , Gila NM

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the L.C. Ranch over the 4th of July weekend. We had full, drive-thru RV hookups. We had access to the pool, toilets, a shower, and a washer and dryer, along with other amenities, if need be. The westward views from our spot were breathtaking. We enjoyed our pop-in visits every now and then from Alex's three dogs. Alex took us on a fascinating two-hour, historical tour of the ranch. We liked being close to Bill Evans Lake and the Catwalk. If you're looking for a place to visit a little off-the-beaten-path, this would be it. We definitely recommend a visit! Thanks, again, Alex!

3 nights at ESCAPE to the L.C. Ranch , Gila NM

Had a wonderful stay. all the necessary hookups were provided. Host was very friendly as were his dogs. We had one that came to greet us every morning and say good night every night. History was interesting wish we had time to take the tour. Enjoyed the pool, can't wait for the hot tub, will be back.

Very nice little spot in a place otherwise absent of somewhere to stay. Climate was great even at the end of June. Very well kept, clean and hosts couldn't be more welcoming. Beautiful views. Would start again if we're in the area.

2 nights at Rancho Viejo

This place was amazing. It was truly the oasis we needed. Byron and Marilyn met us on site and gave us a tour. They are both so kind and down to earth. It was a pleasure every time we had a conversation with them. The property itself is meticulously cared for. There is shade, a fountain, a beautiful pond, and even swings over the pond. The view is breathtaking and there is so much privacy! We were lucky enough to be there on the night there was a lightning storm. It was an incredible sight! We will definitely stay here again because it truly felt like a home.

1 night at Rancho Viejo

The best place to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy the peaceful views. The site is pristine and welcoming. The owners have made this a haven away from all the stresses. They are accommodating and kind. We enjoyed row boating in the pond and did a little fish watching. Don't pass this peaceful spot up when looking for your next camping adventure.

1 night at One Particular Harbour

My second time in as many weeks staying here. Can't put my finger on it, I'll just go with the New Mexico slogan "Land of Enchantment". It's so easy in and out. Lawrence and Dina are great hosts! Still loved the sunset, myriad stars at night and awesome north to south first light and daybreak. As I said in my last stay, if I was just in the vicinity, I would go out of my way to stay here.

Weekend Trip to Rancho Viejo

Bryon and Marilyn’s private oasis is the perfect location for an out door outing with the family. The campsite is spacious and private, The host's are kind and accommodating. The property is full of activities such as fishing, swimming, and most of all relaxing. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

Weekend Trip to ESCAPE to the L.C. Ranch , Gila NM

The vibe, the host who is fantastic--the perfect combo of friendly and allowing space, the place itself, a beautiful old adobe ranch, some parts under renovation, with old roses in bloom. The setup worked well with good water, and electric and RV septic, all well maintained. I stayed in site 1, the canopy and it was wonderful to park under the massive elm trees. The dogs are very sweet. Highly recommend and do take Alex's tour if you can.
