Navajo National Monument Canyon View Campground

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.

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.

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.
