New Mexico State Parks
My husband and I spent part of our 25th anniversary trip and his birthday in Rockhound State Park many years ago. It was our first but not our last stay in one of the most beautiful and well maintained parks out of the 37states we visited.. I have many wonderful memories of camping there and witnessing the Duck Races in Deming. Thank you for the hospitality and memories. 
Drove 126 miles to see one way, and not open to out of state residents. Very nice and quiet park. People very nice. Camp hosts were excellent. Willdefinately be going back. Beautiful park, very well maintained Love the trails My son and I stayed overnight at Rockhound on the way from Texas to Tucson. The park host, Marilyn, gave us lots of information and advice about the specimens we could look for in the park. Marian, in the Visitors Center answered all our questions. She even suggested a reasonably-priced rock shop to polish up our finds. Rockhound is a unique stop with a great staff and the nicest bathrooms we have seen in a campground! Hello! In the near future I hope to be traveling through the southwest. On my way to northern Az. May visit the Elephant butte area and hope to visit the Deming area. In the 1980s traveled through and visited a rock shop. Purchased some beautiful green serpentine there which was later lost in a yard sale catastrophe. Hope to spend time collecting here. years ago passing through we stopped and hiked up the big hill and found some geos....i thought that the thundereggs were beautiful and i have a few left in my collection of rocks Beautiful scenery... Great staff....You are permitted to take some of the rocks found there and the helpful staff will tell you what you have. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors Were here 6 years ago between Christmas & New Years and wanted to return to this great place. Beautiful, quiet, scenery is awesome and lots to do around the area. We love it!
