On the 9th video of my 2024 Travels, I camp at the City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. This is my kind of city! Although I had a "Rocky" start, things were better after admiring this truly unique State Park.

Nicely done ! I knew one minute into this that I was going to enjoy your content so I subbed. I live in the T or C area and came here in my RV back in November of 2017. I came from CT with the express intention of living full-time in the state parks with an annual pass, which was very inexpensive. The camping used to be so easy. Very little hassle. But then Covid came and everything changed for the worst. They closed all the parks down during the pandemic, then when they reopened, everything was turned on its head. Used to be that those off-grid sites like those you tried to camp on were all first come, first served. And there used to be a certain number of sites with electric and water that were also only for first-come campers, so you always had a chance of finding one when you got there. But now all that is just a memory. And we never had to go through Reserve America. That ruins everything. I camped in the City of Rocks one week and it was really cool. I stayed in the rows where there was electric but those sites that are off-grid are spectacular. You had me scratching my head, trying to figure out who was following you with a camera. I thought it must be one of those 360 cameras that you can't see the pole it's attached to, but I couldn't see where it would be attached to you. Then toward the end I figured it was a drone. Very tricky, sir. I will check out the rest of your NM content before moving on to other places. NM has a lot to offer, which is why I stayed. I'm in an RV park fulltime now so my days of traveling came to an end for now. I've been parked for a number of years. I got really tired of moving around. Take care and thanks for the great content. ~ Cheryl ETA: I just noticed you don't respond to comments. I wonder if you even have it set-up to get alerts when someone comments on your videos. I hope you figure it out one day !

We have great state parks in New Mexico! All of them require you to make reservations through Reserve America. We are sorry to see that you did not camp at the state park in Alamogordo - that's our all-time favorite! At the City of Rocks, we camped in the section for the large RVs and it was SO dusty. People drive by and the dirt kicks up. Like you, we weren't thrilled with the unlevel spots. Thanks for showing the beauty of our state.

You can get dehydrated hash browns. They come in a small carton (like you'd get milk in). You pour hot water in the carton, rehydrate the hash browns, and fry them up. Anything left in the carton, you put in your fridge for breakfast, with eggs. :) Nice wildlife and rock sculptures. That one looked rock hard. :) Jon in rural BC, Canada

There are only a few non reservation sites for camping. Half of the hook up sites, I think it was the odd numbers and the non-hookup sites around 40 to 45. Everything else is reservation only. Sites 29 to 33 are dubious since the west windmill makes noises when the wind blows. The visitor center is only open when they have a volunteer to man it. There is one there on Monday's. It was closed Tuesday and Wednesday when we were there St. Paddy's day weekend.

Great video Slim. So relaxing to watch. I really enjoyed your walk through the boulders near dusk. The music was very spiritual. You could just almost picture what it would have been like for the first humans to find this area. They must have felt it was very sacred. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
