Only a few (5-6?)"

"You get to walk around at the edge of the cliffs."

$75 / night
RangerWhat can I say - it was pouring rain and our free, dispersed campground was washed out! We called Gouldings, but they were full. The KOA had a pull thru full hook up site. We are trying to camp on a budget, and at nearly $150 a night, the budget was blown. I do want to say that we really really enjoyed having full hook ups and had a chance to catch up on Laundry, so there’s that. Also, it was very close to Monument Valley and we had fun. We were able to scout out our next camping location as well. The Wi-Fi was down for a while and then it started working. It was not busy in the campground. They had a very nice dog park. All in all, we really liked the park, just not the price!
TravelerStunning views from every angle. Hike-in for tents but drive-in for campers & RVs. Sunsets and the stars are breathtaking. No pets (at least for tent sites), clean bathrooms, walking distance from hotel/restaurant that they have on site. Must reserve online for peak seasons. If going to monument valley, I highly recommend stopping here!
LegendGeneral: 56-site campground with a mix of 50-amp pull-thru, 30-amp pull-thru, 30-amp back-in, and 30-amp tent/RV sites. All sites have water and electricity.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel and level. As expected in an RV park, there is no separation/privacy between sites. Our back-in 30-amp site had a picnic table, electricity, and water. However, the picnic table was on the opposite side of the water and electricity, which was confusing.
Bath/Shower house: Very clean. Nice hot water and pressure in the shower (turn the hot water all the way to the left to get the hot water going).
Activities/Amenities: Dog park, playground, laundry with three washers and three dryers ($4 per load for both which was very reasonable). Although the laundry did say it was open 24/7, when we checked in, the sheet advised us that the last load of laundry had to be in by 7 pm. There is a store open from 8 am– 8 pm. Horse tours can also be booked from the campground.
We stayed here as we needed to fill up on water and had booked a Monument Valley sunrise tour and the KOA was one of the pick-up sites. We were able to go on our tour and be back before check-out at 11 am. There are nice views from the campground.
ScoutLike a different planet! Must see! Rural area- no Verizon data, buy extra water, good grocery store/food/supplies in Kayenta 18 miles away. Hotels there too. Have fun!
GuideAfter missing out on monument valley on my last Utah trip. I was not gonna miss it this time around. We were able to grab a site day of with no issues. Site was clean and organized, no neighbors around us. Showers were a definite plus! Not to mention the campground wild cats were a riot. Would stay here again, but a little pricey.
TravelerThis is easily one of my favorite places in the Southwest. Just beautiful and rarely anyone here. Yes there can be wind but nothing terrible. I've camped here in a tent maybe 10 times and never an issue that bothered me. THE KEY is the drive off road AROUND the edge of the canyon away from the official campground. Plenty of space and you camp right on the edge of the canyon. Incredible views and experience. Just watch where you are walking at night :) I almost hate leaving this review because I really don't want more people to find out about this place.
GuideThe title says it all. This campground sure features amazing views but the wind was killing me. I would NOT recommend it for tent camping, but you would probably be more comfortable in an RV or a van. The wind was going from zero to 25pmh several times both nights i was there, and it was particularly windy during the sunsets which made eating outside impossible (sort of defeats the purpose). The site is super exposed - no trees, boulders or anything to hide from the wind, or sun for that matter. Also, not sure why the description says 10 sites. There’s way more - they let people just camp anywhere along the rim. There was probably over 50 campers there. On the positive side - lots of activities close by. On the negative side, besides the wind, some rude behavior… dog poop in a bunch of places that people didn’t bother picking up. Seems to always be the case wherever dogs are allowed, sigh. Flying drones despite the sign saying no drones…
RangerGoosenecks State Park is better than Horshoe Bend at Page. You get to walk around at the edge of the cliffs. There are actually more bends here as the name Goosenecks states, On the right are some campsites on the edge with picnic tables On the left are some more civilized sites away from the cliffs with some more right on the edge. There is a double sided outhouse at the beginning of the campground. I was charged a nightly fee but technically I was outside the State Park and on BLM land. There are many sights outside the park. I supported them anyway. If you wait till after 5 pm there isn't anyone there to make you pay. Camp fires are allowed. There is NO water here. You need to bring all that in. The closest town is Mexican Hat to the south and Bluff to the north.
T-Mobile had about 2 bars. AT&T was 0.
Just a beautiful area to rest and relax and plenty to see in the surrounding area.
LegendNot very big, but adequate. About 5 miles from the Monument Valley Tribal Visitors Center. Nice grassy playground. Fenced dog run but be aware that smaller dogs can easily go under the gate. Staff is nice and friendly. My only complaint is that while the bathrooms are clean and have ADA showers with seats, there is no ramp to get into the building itself. The step isn’t big, but a person in a wheelchair will have difficulty without assistance.
