First day of my campsite, I’ve enjoyed my campers. I told them about the area and name of the monuments . I did start with 2 campsites, than continued to built more campsite. I wanted my campers to enjoy a fire pit and shower during their stay. Now we have warm shower during warmer season. We been improving our outhouse which is an outdoor restroom. An outhouse is dirt hole with no water to flush. Our campsite is very safe, I built a wooden fence around the whole campsite so horses and cows will not eat our trees and garden. Campers to feel comfortable and have some privacy to their site and during their stay. Now, Our campers guests enjoy our campsite and enjoy having them return again. We always explain to them them about our short hiking trail to the rims (Private Overlook) to see the whole valley. Its a beautiful area to take pictures for Sunrise and Sunset.
Guest can pitch a tent or park RV within the campsite having access to own picnic table and fire pit. The Campsite is 10-15 mins to the Valley View of the Famous Monuments and close to Navajo Tribal Park.
Access to Shower and Restroom (Outhouse) Very Clean.
Guest can request Navajo Taco Dinner with Navajo Tea for extra cost to enlighten their stay here in Beautiful Monument Valley. Text or Call me at 435-444-5714 to request Our Delicious Navajo Taco with Navajo Tea.

The beautiful Cedar Mesa sandstone monoliths, pinnacles and other geological features of this enchanting area are known as a Miniature Monument Valley. These sandstone sentinels were eroded by wind and water over eons of time. The 17 mile loop through the Valley of the Gods is a graded gravel and clay surface road (San Juan County Road #242), that has a few sharp turns, and crosses several washes. Driving time is approximately one to two hours. It is suitable for passenger cars when the road conditions are dry. However, road conditions vary throughout the year with regional weather conditions. Local inquiry should be made during and after periods of inclement weather. There are several car camps along this route. However, no campfires are allowed.

Some good some bad. Good: Nice location with good spot to view the valley. Easy to due laundry, Nestled in the red rocks. Bad: very tight spots, overpriced given the lack of amenities.

Never in my life have I heard of Mexican Hat, let alone the rock it’s named after. Jeez this place was cool, the river was beautiful, the dispersed camping areas were great under the stars, and that dang Mexican Hat Rock juxtaposed to the unforgiving sea of desert just put a huge smile on my face.
Guide
Very easy to drive on road, we took a 2WD car and had no issues. Plenty of spots so you’ll always find a place to camp for the night.
Great views at every spot and barely any road noise from the highway. Good AT&T coverage.
No fires allowed here so keep that in mind
Scout
The campground is small, which makes it nice and quiet. We enjoyed the beautiful starry night! And they made us a delicious Navajo taco dinner which you can request beforehand. We highly recommend this campground.
ScoutCamping is rustic but very quiet and sites are very close with little privacy. Host is very nice and helpful.
Traveler
Gorgeous Views literally camping on the rim of a 1000 foot high cliff overlooking the goosenecks of the San Juan river below. No designated campsites. Just pick your spot along the canyon rim. Great place for trailers / campers. I wouldn't want to camp here in tent.
Pros:
Easy drive in and pull up to a spot.
Dark sky area so you can get some amazing night photography shots
Close to other attractions including Valley of the Gods, Muley Point (which would also be a fun campsite), Monument Valley (a bit further afield), etc.
The canyon below is stunning and the goosenecks are quite remarkable
Cons:
This is not a site for small children. You are literally camping several feet away from a 1000 foot cliff.
You are on top of a mesa and we had some strong winds blowing across.
The terrain is very flat, but is also rocky. I would not want to set up a tent on the rocks and/or fight the wind with a tent.
The pit toilets are reasonably clean, but only located by the park entrance gate. So if you park further along the rim, you either need your own facilities, you have a very long walk, or you are driving back and forth over the rocky road (disturbing all of the other campers along the way).
The last observation is that while the goosenecks are truly incredible, especially from the main lookout spot, the color of the rocks in the canyon aren't as varied as other places (i.e., compared to Dead Horse Point State Park). As a photographer, I kept hoping the coloring would be more captivating once the light shifted, shadows moved, etc., but that never happened. Go in with the right expectations and you won't be disappointed.
ScoutNot free anymore but still an enjoyable experience. I was the only camper there on a weekday.
GuideThe view was stunning Worth everything
Toilet Shower Drinkable water Didn’t tried the charging thing for RV
360 view on Monument valley
ScoutEverything is nicely done. We also booked a tour inside Monument Valley with the Gouldings.
ScoutI arrived here late afternoon, big sign in the beginning- pay online under www.mexicanhatrocks.com - it’s 18$ per night for just a place to park- no toilets. . No reception with T-mobile to pay online. Went to gooseneck state park campground instead, only 10$ per night and they have toilets.
Guide
Great, easy stop on way to monument valley. We came in at night in a campervan. The roads are all paved so no issues at all even at night. Flush toilets and water is available. The visitors center has a quick walk to view an amazing cave dwelling. First come first served, but the vast majority of spots were open. Lovely spot to rest for the night.
GuideHave camped at Goosenecks many times traveling between NM and WA on the regular. The views here are unparalleled. If you love the desert and various shades of sepia and brick—this is the spot. No shade but it’s lovely, dry desert air, so it’s never too hot…You will likely have neighbors (but not too close usually, with only air and some space between you (so no privacy per se). And even though I don’t like camping much around people or in established spots, I love this place.

When we arrived it was howling wind and blowing sand. We worried the side of our van would be nothing but primer in the morning. Fortunately by the morning it was sunny and calm with stunning vistas. The area is exposed with few secluded opportunities. Despite mid week in May, many spots were taken. That said, it was so beautiful we would not hesitate to visit again.
LegendThe scenery is amazing and there are ample places to camp. Very little cell reception. The dirt road is in good shape.

It’s a dry camping spot. We didn’t see wild animals around. Has a Porta-potty in the campground. Nice views and not too many people in the campground. 25$ per night host came to welcome us and collect the payment.
GuideWe found a spot about 3km in from the 163 entrance. Great views. Windy in the afrernoon but dies down around 5pm.
ScoutStayed for 3 nights. Campsite was mostly level. Outhouse tidy and clean. Didn’t use the shower. Did the Navajo taco dinner, very tasty. They arranged a tour for me, ended up being a tour of just me, at sunrise for photos; Shane is great, arrived 10 minutes early. There’s a 15 min. walk to the overlook, worth doing every day for terrific views of Monument Valley. Would definitely stay there again.
GuideLocation has WiFi available and lits to see and do
TravelerSimple and yet has everything you’ll need. Amazing view, friendly owners and serenity. Magical sunset and sunrise.
TravelerGreat location, warm welcome, magnificent view close to Monument Valley. We ordered a local meal from the owner and we enjoyed it! I highly recommend. And thank you for the welcome!

First, you're paying for location. It's a KOA Journey, so you're not getting any amenities. Overall this is a nice campground. Sites are pretty level and gravel. Bathrooms are basic and clean. Staff is very friendly and can assist with directions and tours.
Guide
Lots of pull-offs from Valley of the Gods road. Long views, quiet, no facilities. Great sunsets.
ScoutThe view is nice. Dinner from the hosts is highly recommended, very tasty! The road to the campground is dirt but totally fine, even for a big RV.
Guide$10 admission per night. The canyons and river beneath are very much a sight to see. I really enjoyed staying here. There are toilets but that’s it. The road gets really really bumpy the farther down the left side you go so higher clearance is better. It says no drones but I was way far down on the left and no one could see or hear so oh well. L
ScoutAs a dispersed camping area, it's a wonderful location with beautiful vistas with radiant pastel colors splattered everywhere. The weather was perfect towards the end of October.
The roads are rutted and although I see plenty of passenger cars back here, my 25 ft travel trailer pulled by my F150 did all it could to pull thru the ruts, hills and hollows. Don't go off the main road without dessert 4x4 capabilities. Spots filled up Friday thru the afternoon. I arrived around 12pm and luckily got a nice spot about a mile in as I did not want to pull my trailer any further in.
Stayed all weekend!
