About Camel Rock Casino

Camel Rock Casino, once a 60,000-square-foot gaming destination in Santa Fe, NM, was operated by the Pueblo of Tesuque and closed in 2018. The site has since evolved into Camel Rock Studios, a movie studio campus, while Tesuque Casino emerged nearby on Tesuque Pueblo land. This page offers a comprehensive overview for visitors researching the Camel Rock legacy, parking and transportation options, nearby hotels and dining, and how the area serves as a gateway to Santa Fe culture and entertainment.

Note: Camel Rock’s historic Rock Showroom hosted notable performances in the past, such as Los Lobos (2011) and Eric Burdon (2007). Today, travelers should refer to Tesuque Casino for current gaming and entertainment experiences, with easy access to Santa Fe and surrounding amenities.

Whether you’re planning a historical tour of the Camel Rock site or seeking nearby lodging and dining during a Santa Fe visit, we’ve got you covered. While Camel Rock Casino is no longer operating as a casino, the area remains convenient for travelers exploring Santa Fe’s outskirts, Tesuque, and the scenic routes to the Santa Fe Opera and downtown. For updated gaming options, entertainment, and event details, check official sites and partner recommendations.
