    Monument Valley KOA

    Nice views right in Monument Valley

    We decided to stay here to make it easy to tour Monument Valley. Nice campground that isn’t too busy. Great views of nearby mesas. Clean bathrooms. Playground with a view for the tots. Not a lot of shade but a few trees.

    Like new beautiful campground

    Check in was easy we booked online and had requested a pull through, when we arrived our reservation was for a back in. They switched us to another site no questions asked easy least. We had a pull through with FHU, everything worked as it should. Good Wi-Fi. Nice space between sites. Would definitely stay here again.

    Hummingbird Campground

    Basic but beautiful

    About half a mile hike to the edge of monument valley for a beautiful view, .but the campground itself also has nice views. Basic amenities (pit toilets & one hot shower). Great Navajo taco cooked by the owners. Even though the big "the view" has nicer views from the campsite itself, this felt much nicer

    Antelope Point RV Park

    Good location, clean and hookups

    Located near Page, Arizona, this is very good choice for anyone wanting to go into the Antelope Canyon (10 to 20 minute drive from the RV park). The RV park is clean and looks new, has all the hookups. No restrooms although there might be showers that we did not test.

    If you want a dinner, there is a Marina restaurant very near and in the summer, they provide a small shuttle to the Marina. There is even a discount for the restaurant I think (from the RV park). The absolute best thing in the RV park is the BBQ area. New grills and a great spot to see the surrounding landscape. The camp host is very nice and friendly. Would stay here again.

    Roam America Horseshoe Bend

    Calm, neat and welcoming

    The reception staff is welcoming and accommodating. Large sites (gently sloped) with picnic table. It's spacious and quiet. Clean pool to cool off in. 3 large modern units for bathrooms, showers (soaps, shampoo and conditioner provided) and washer/dryer. Several washer/dryers need to be fixed but we managed to do our laundry without too much wait at a low cost. Beautiful glamping stay!

    Sleeping Bear Campground

    Gorgeous views

    I absolutely love this primitive campground. The views are spectacular, it is quiet and secluded. (Some road noise, but it dies down later) I would highly recommend site 7 for the views. We were in a 33ft toy hauler and had no problems with the dirt road and room to pull thru. Dirt pads but fairly level.
