This is a nice park and probaly due to the fact nobody was in the park made it even better. Lots of hiking or whatever and one thing we were told to beware of is when you are walking your dog keep a close look out for stray dogs from the reservatuion or packs of dogs thjat run loose, we did not witness this but were on the lookout. One thing i have to mention is the people that were helping the ranger George and Joy as campground hosts did a excellent job helping everybody out that came into the campground and even though they weren't officially the hosts i hope there work did not go in vain, Thanks we will be Back We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is wide open with some beautiful views of the red rocks. There is great hiking in the area. The spaces are very adequate in size with water and 50 amp power. The dump station is easy to access. We had complete privacy while here for 3 days in November of '08. There were no other campers here. The 50 amp power was welcomed because of the 20* weather. Payment, as stated below is mostly on the honor system, there was no one to check, and finding the information on where to pay could have a been easier for the honest. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a comfy little park! Payment was run pretty much on the honor system, with arrivals and departures any time it was convenient for you. The sites were roomy. The restrooms were concrete but very clean, with soap and paper towels provided. The Good Sam guide says there are no showers, but they are wrong. The water and power connectors are at a four-foot height, which is so logical that more parks ought to take the hint. The prairie dog compound in the middle of the campground was free entertainment. The only negative: the payment process was very "manana," with a single employee handling payments who took three phone calls to completion before she finished a simple one-day stay transaction for the person who was physically there. Nevertheless, I'd stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent RV Park. We checked out the KOA and Red Rock before deciding on this one. The staff is friendly and do a great job at maintaining the grounds. Some of the sites are a little tight, but nothing compared to others we've been to. If I'm every back in Gallup, this is where I'll stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Red Rock is no longer a State Park. The Trading Post Store is not open but the Post Office is. We paid for 3 nights and stayed 2. There is no one on site, you put your money in your own envelope and drop it in a mail slot on the store. There is a pack of 4 wild dogs in the park that bark and come into you site looking for food. At night people come into the park to use the bathrooms and sites without paying. The first day we were approached by men wanting to know if we could help them out with a few dollars. The second night at around 10pm a man knocked on our trailer door and rubbed on the tent next to us asking for money. Calls to animal control were not followed up on because it was the weekend. There is a house in the park with a police car parked in the yard but when we spoke to the person living there, no response. Called State park office and Gallup city Office each said the other owned the park. We left and I have stopped payment on the check I left. Will not go back again. 10 Year Full time campers. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Pretty basic layout with sites close together and minimal trees. Visually unlike any state park we've ever been in, much more like a basic commercial cg. Post office is right in park so there is constant traffic throughout the day. We did see wild horses in cg one morning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Given the alternatives near Gallup, I recommend this park in spite of the fact that it is mostly sand and the spots are not well marked. Having stayed here 5 times on the way further West, I have found it quiet, safe, and convenient for an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While some sites are kinda small, there were plenty of nice sites when we were there. There are fire rings, basic hookups, picnic tables, and a very nice store with friendly people. The surroundings are beautiful, and the stars at night were fabulous. Yes, we were visited by a woman selling kachina dolls, but at $15 each for a hand-made item, they were nice souvenirs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Agree with other reviewer that $18 is way too much for this park. Site layout is very confusing, and poorly marked. This is the first place we've ever stayed where panhandlers beat on the door -- two of them in the first hour -- one drunk looking for a handout, and someone else later wanting to sell junk. They seemed to be on foot, wandering in the woods near the park and gave us the creeps. The numbers of permanent residents, in crummy trailers with big dogs in permanent looking fences was a bit off-putting also. If you have good locks and a Smith & Wesson under your pillow, you could consider this place for a quick overnight. If not, stay at the Wal-Mart in Gallup. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The surrounding Red Rocks are lovely but the park is a mixed bag. Clean but oddly placed sites and utilities. Deep loose sand. Used Autoformer to boost power. Several somewhat permanent sites (old converted buses) with dog pens and large barking dogs within. Campstore also serves as local post office and mini mart so regular traffic from outside. $18 is too much for this modest park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
