1 campground with availability this weekend
Monument Valley RV accommodations include several established parks with scenic desert views. Gouldings RV and Campground, located about 6 miles from Monument Valley Park, offers full hookup sites for $47 per night with shower facilities, laundry, and WiFi connectivity. The View Campground provides RV sites that face east toward the iconic Mittens formations, though sites lack electrical or water hookups. "The RV sites are really more of a gravel parking lot. The view might be great but for RVs you really see more of the cabins backsides than the actual panorama," noted one visitor. Monument Valley KOA includes big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, while Coral Sands RV Park in Bluff features pull-through RV pads accommodating larger motorhomes.
Road conditions require careful navigation when approaching certain parks. Many RV sites throughout the region provide dump stations, though The View Campground offers this amenity without hookup options. During peak tourism seasons (spring and fall), advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly. Cell service varies considerably across the Monument Valley area, with stronger connectivity at established RV parks like Gouldings and weaker signals at more remote locations. Pet policies allow dogs at most RV parks, including Gouldings, The View, and Monument Valley KOA. One visitor remarked that reaching Hummingbird Campground with a larger RV proved challenging: "We reached Monument Valley at 7:30pm and couldn't see the very small sign, google's indications showed a very steep way off the road to the track, this didn't make us comfortable risking it with a long RV."
"We decided to stay here on a short notice, and found a space for our RV with full hook-ups. Price was decent for the amenities and service. "
"Nice campground with clean showers, toilets and even a little inside pool. Apparently booked the last spot but there were at least 5 empty places the night we stayed here."
"This was a favorite spot on our 2 week trip around the southwest. We were here a week before opening season (the first week of March)."
"Launch your boat at the Bullfrog Marina, then pick any spot on the ENTIRE LAKE! We drove a houseboat and moored/anchored in Good Hope Bay, which is a 2-3 hour houseboat ride (averaging 8.4 mph)."
"The CG is pretty basic, and could use a little work, but has full hook-ups with 30A service. We were in site 4(a pull-through) for 4 nights in mid April. The owner was friendly and helpful."
"Full hook ups, no bathrooms or facilities. Simple and close to Mexican hat rock!"
from $37 - $45 / night
"All pull through sites, level sites, a new bath house with large showers and laundry facilities. The only complaint is that there is not much shade, but they have planted trees, so are trying."
"They even gave us a binder with information on local attractions, dining, hikes, and the history of the area."

"The space was the front one and a bit difficult to maneuver with our large 36' trailer due to the rocks at edges but we managed by going around the circle."
"Clean bathroom and showers, pull through sites, and the hosts were welcoming. There is a little store onsite and while you're here, stop by Bluff Fort, it's free and very interesting. "
"Hike-in for tents but drive-in for campers & RVs. Sunsets and the stars are breathtaking."
"Right next to Monument Valley. The campground itself is sparse, but you're right in Monument Valley with amazing views. Take the rough road scenic drive. So worth it! "
from $20 - $180 / night
"I am full time in my Class C and move around to see parts of the USA that I had never seen. Scenery is nice, but I most appreciate the people I meet. "

"There are a few families close to the entrance to the park that have small campgrounds. From what I can see, this one is the best."
from $30 / night
"Overall a nice little family owned spot, right in the thick of Monument Valley with amazing views."
"You can see monument valley from here & Aaron the host is super nice! There’s also a trail out back too. Great view of the stars as well. Nice place."
GuideWe had a great stay here. Clean bathrooms, hot showers, and even a laundry mat. Bonus hike to a hidden/private arch that we really enjoyed. We were able to have a nice fire at our site in the evening. In the morning there were dogs that made their rounds to campsites looking for food. It did not bother us, but something to keep in mind for someone who may mind. They were friendly.
TravelerWe stayed here for one night and booked online the same day. The total cost for our campervan was $45+tax. The campground has great amenities, including 24/7 hot showers!!!! Laundry facilities open until 8 PM, a movie theater, store, gas station, and more!
Our site had full hookups, with water, electricity, and sewer connections right next to our van. Everything was super convenient, and we really enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend this place!
ScoutFrom the moment we reserved our site with Suzy to our arrival, we were treated like we were truly valued as customers. Suzy was so friendly and helpful. They even gave us a binder with information on local attractions, dining, hikes, and the history of the area. The park is perfectly situated along a 10 mile trail that takes you to the San Juan river, through beautiful river bottom lands. We even extended our stay because it was such a great location. Perfect spot to take day trips to local areas like Hovenweep, Monument Valley, Goosenecks State Park, and many other area attractions. Bluff is a hidden gem of a town, steeped in history and very friendly locals. Will definitely stay here again.
TravelerExcellent views!
ScoutParking right next to cliff. Came in at night. Just pulled up and parked. Epic view. 25 mins from monument valley.
GuideClean pit toilets and million dollar views!
GuideGreat over night stay.
GuideThis is a great dry camping spot just before the Monument Valley entrance. It is about a half mile down a dirt road so if it's raining, which is was while I was there, make sure your rig can handle a flooding road and deep muddy grooves. Im sure it is very rare to have the kind of rain I got on my visit. The 1/2 mile to 1 mile hike makes the stay well worth the price. No need to even take the drive through the park with the views you get. The only reason I'm giving a 4 star rating was because the outhouse lights weren't functioning, the shower was sketchy...i did not use it, some other campers showed up late ,turned on their generator until I told them to turn it off.(No rules about quiet time) Plus the road was mush. I mostly had the camp to myself. It was super quiet otherwise.
TravelerPeople were great, the location, tucked up in the canyon is super cool. Hidden arch hike is awesome. Worth the stay
Monument Valley hosts several established RV campgrounds with varied amenities and site configurations. Gouldings RV and Campground provides full hookups with 50-amp service on gravel pads, while The View Campground arranges RV sites in an east-facing row for optimal sunrise views of the Mittens formations but offers fewer hookups. "The RV sites are really more of a gravel parking lot," noted one visitor about The View's setup. Monument Valley KOA features 56 sites with a mix of 50-amp pull-through, 30-amp pull-through, and 30-amp back-in configurations, all with water and electric hookups on level gravel surfaces. Coral Sands RV Park accommodates big rigs with full hookups including 50-amp service, though most parks position RVs quite close together with minimal privacy between sites.
During peak seasons, advance reservations are strongly recommended as the limited RV accommodations in this remote area fill quickly. Most Monument Valley RV parks remain open year-round, though services may be reduced in winter. Dump stations are available at Gouldings and Monument Valley KOA, with the latter charging $10 for non-guests. Many parks offer amenities beyond basic hookups, including shower facilities, laundry services, and camp stores with essential supplies. According to one camper, "We were able to empty our tanks and fill up on water" after several nights of boondocking elsewhere. Pet policies vary between campgrounds but most are pet-friendly with some restrictions. Note that RVs are prohibited on the scenic loop through Monument Valley itself, requiring alternative transportation for exploring the iconic landscape formations.

Sites accommodate various RV sizes with both back-in and pull-through options. Another top choice is Monument Valley KOA, featuring 56 sites with water and electricity, including 50-amp pull-thru, 30-amp pull-thru, and 30-amp back-in options.

For those willing to venture slightly farther, The View Campground near Oljato-Monument Valley offers big-rig-friendly sites with spectacular views of the iconic monuments.
Do I need reservations for RV camping in Monument Valley?
Reservations are highly recommended for RV camping in Monument Valley, especially during peak tourist seasons (spring and fall). Valles RV Park can fill up quickly despite its basic amenities, as it's one of the few options with full hookups in the area. While some visitors report finding last-minute availability at Navajo National Monument Sunset View Campground, it's typically quite full by sunset. This free campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to limited RV camping options within Monument Valley itself and restrictions against boondocking on Navajo Nation land, securing reservations well in advance is the safest approach, particularly if you have a larger RV or specific hookup requirements.
What amenities are available at Monument Valley RV campgrounds?
RV campgrounds in Monument Valley offer varying levels of amenities. Sand Island Recreation Area provides basic amenities with dirt and gravel sites, each featuring a fire pit and picnic table. For more comprehensive facilities, The View Campground offers water, toilets, and big-rig-friendly sites with spectacular monument views. Most established RV parks in the area provide water and electric hookups, with some offering full hookups including sewer. Additional amenities at certain locations include clean restrooms, shower facilities, laundry services, swimming pools, grocery stores, and shuttle services to nearby attractions. Many campgrounds also feature hiking trails accessible directly from the camping area, allowing for convenient exploration of the surrounding landscape.
What is the best time of year for RV camping in Monument Valley?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal for RV camping in Monument Valley, offering pleasant temperatures and moderate crowd levels. Navajo National Monument Canyon View Campground is particularly delightful during these seasons, though it may have seasonal closures for maintenance, so check availability. Summer (June-August) brings intense heat with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, making outdoor activities challenging during midday. Winter (November-March) delivers cooler temperatures and potential for dramatic snow-dusted views of the monuments, but nights can drop below freezing. Goosenecks State Park Campground offers year-round access with particularly stunning sunrise and sunset views in winter when the air is crisp and clear.
