Best Campgrounds near Monument Valley, AZ

Still here, was able to make it in with a 6” clearance. Close to front.

Staff was extremely friendly at the welcome center. They do not charge for camping spots, and they are first come, first serve. There are also different campgrounds. The lower camp has more to offer, but the sites are closer together. I camped in the upper camp, and the spots each had a picnic table and grill. Also, 2 toilets located in that section. Beware, the first campsite I tried to camp at, was the last one in the row and was full of rattle snakes. So I agreed they owned that spot and moved on to another spot. Views were great and trails well maintained. The road up to the grounds is a climb, so larger rigs will need to be prepared for that.

Stayed here for 6 nights in mid-April. Enjoyed it! Weather was a mixed bag. A little bit sunny & warm, a lot windy and cold, with a bit of rain & snow thrown in. It's a very quiet place. Some sites are more private than others. A few have views of the surroundings.

There are receptacles for trash, aluminum, plastic and glass in the CG.,2 vault toilets, no host, no water and it seemed like only 12 sites were available. The CG is 100% reservable. 

The visitor center is currently open 7 days a week, from 9 to 4. This changes based on the season. There is a trail (.4 mile) from the CG to the center Water available, up to 5 gallons per person per day, from a bottle filler/fountain. Wifi which worked fairly well for internet access and texting. You can stand close to the building after hours and still access it. There are also restrooms with flush toilets and heat which seemed to be open 24/7. The center has a gift shop and several rangers on duty.

Strong winds (33 mph gusts) when we were there. Rocked our van a bit but the views are worth it.

Beautiful views.  Dusty rocky tent sites.  Parking lot with no hookups for RVs.  Nice bathroom with showers.

Very nice boon docking area near Natural Bridges national Monument.  No toilets or water but the visitors center is a short drive and has restrooms open 24 hours, WIFI and fresh drinking water.  At least 20 campsites.

Road is packed dirt and was in great condition. Makeshift fire ring but no other facilities. Dispersed site. Big “parking space” enough for multiple cars and you can walk in deeper for tents.

Just a parking lot with restrooms and showers. Unbelievable place but not from the parking lot/campground. Better to stay in the cabins (which is probably their plan). View from the restaurant and trails are amazing. Guided tours available. One of the most beautiful places I have visited.

This is a great spot! Stopped here twice in the past few months. Just to note, my internet speed test was using Starlink.

Perfect place to stay! Pit toilets close to the entrance. Good Verizon signal. I'm about 1.6 miles in.

We just needed an overnight site. Sites were clean and quiet. Water and pit toilets available.

The view along the canyon rim is incredible. So quiet here. The night sky is amazing.

Bring your own shade.

The Lower Butler Wash Road is home to many fantastic car and van camping options. The dirt road is well-maintained and suitable for most vehicles.

Better options for dispersed camping exist nearby, and with less effort. The number of sites and diversity of possibilities along Lower Butler Wash Road is far superior to this area.

Perfect for those who want to visit the local attractions.

Beautiful spot that gets quite a bit of traffic--we had a lot of people on a Wednesday pulling up next to our site to enjoy the view or have an evening picnic. Consider yourself really lucky if you get privacy!

Very helpful staff with so much knowledge about the area. We chose the perfect time to visit, no crowds, easy access to camping, wild asses all over the place. Watch out for them in the early morning. The hiking trails were top notch! People were harvesting piñon nuts while we were here. We have been here several different times in our teardrop camper.

Not quite dispersed camping, due to the $10 fee, but the cost was well worth the views.  Spacing was good enough to allow for peace and quiet.
