Hello! We’re planning to visit the Trinity Site April 2019 and are looking for recommendations for RV parks/sites with hookups in the vicinity. Hope to get a response, thank you.
Here is a list of RV Parks in the area. The City’s RV Park has 50 spaces.

Since childhood, I have always liked to visit the site. Hopefully someday this will happen
In 1983 I (Kathy Wilkins at that time) painted “Trinity Site” for the opening of Trinity Site to the public. Just asking where the painting might be now if anyone knows.
My wife and I will be visiting this October for our 35th wedding anniversary. The Manhattan Project is one of her major interests and she got me into it as well. We are really looking forward to this trip.
Hi,
We are planning to go to the site on October 3rd. We would consider taking your shuttle, but what about the “social distancing” protocols, especially riding on a shuttle? lc
With the restrictions that the Governor of New Mexico has put in place I will guess that this event will be canceled. Please check back for updates.
Do you know how far out from the event that they will have a go/nogo decision? I have been wanting to get to the site and had hoped for this year
This is event is Canceled.
will this site be open to the public sept .15 2020 ?
No, this event has been canceled.
Thanks
