"Imagine parking your rig or setting up your tent in a literal city of rocks. That's the vibe at City of Rocks State Park, a place where giant, rounded volcanic rock formations (some as tall as 40 feet) pop out of the Chihuahuan Desert. You can make your way through the network of roads and trails cutting amongst the rocks to find your home for the night, or secure your spot well in advance (there are both reservation and non-reservation sites). Either way, you'll have access to showers, bathrooms, and water." - Travel + Leisure Editors
