Free Camping

This is an unexpected jewel in my travels. There's a campground that is free and first come, first serve. The actual monument is stunning, and there's a few good hikes.

Beautiful place, Horrible damage to my car

That dirt road had a washout that caught me by surprise. Went nose first into it, finding more and more damage as I try to get it to a big city to repair. Kept going up the mountain. Gorgeous views, so much history. Place felt sacred. Couldn’t even camp, chased out by weather. 25 degrees and snowfall is no place for a damaged car.

Beautiful and well maintained.

9 miles off 160 on 564 it remote. Camp on side of canyon or sunset view. It's 7,300 up and next to Tsegi Canyon. There are trails to view ancient pueblo dwellings. NPS has info, maps. Last 3 nights I was the only camper in the Canyon View site. My pics show the edge of my popup at my campsite and the canyon it overlooks.

Sunset View Campground

Camp site (Teardrop camping)

We stayed at the Sunset View CG since the Canyon View CG was closed when we got there. Both campgrounds are very close to each other. We took the unpaved road to get to the top of the hill where the CG was and it was a slow & shaky drive..... There is a paved road so don't be fooled by Waze :)

CG is very quiet and has scenic sites that are well spaced out. The sites were big enough and paved well to easily park teardrop trailers and RVs. It felt very private with not many people on the campground. The wind in October was pretty strong so be prepared.

Facilities / Amenities

Bathrooms were clean but no showers. The cleaning station was locked because of cold. No fire rings on the camp site but there are picnic tables.

Surrounding area

This campground is close to the visitor center. The night sky and the sunset were fabulous!

Hidden Gem - FREE!

A must stop - we cannot believe this campground is free and so unpopular. There are full service restrooms with a camp sink outside, charcoal grills and picnic tables at each site. Note that fires are not permitted and sites do not have fire rings. We arrived around 5pm on a Monday on our way from North Rim Grand Canton to Monument Vally and Arches. There were only 4 or 5 others here and about 30 sites. The sites are spread out and have great privacy between them thanks to vegetation. The temperature is mild and we’re in for a fantastic sunset view from our site tonight (#4)!

Beautiful and convenient!

Nice, easy to find campground with beautiful views!!! Wish I could have spent more time here to explore a bit more, but I have no complaints! No campfires allowed, but grills are provided on site. Loved our time here!
