Best Campgrounds near Shonto, AZ

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 for those who want to visit the local attractions.

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.

We weren't sure what to expect traveling through mostly desert but after turning off 160 on to the road in it was clear the landscape was changing. By the time we arrived at the campground we were so hoping there was space available as the views and surroundings were incredible. The visitor center is very cool with information about the Navajo history and culture, and trails are remarkable if a bit challenging. We are so grateful to the Navajo Nation for sharing this with us, we will be back!

This was such a great spot! The lot was paved, running water at the toilets, quiet site and the stars were AMAZING! We’ll most defiantly come back if we’re ever out this way.

We chose this CG off of TheDyrt and gave it a try. Rolled in around 2PM, it was nearly empty. Great CG. Staff at the Visitor Center was very friendly. Spot 14, as you can see had a great view and the sunset on this mid fall cold evening was outstanding.

The “but” part. It is a tight fit. I’d estimate that half the sites are single parking and will only accommodate a van or small Class C motorhome. At least three that I saw have a pretty steep slope front to back. Tents no problem. The pull through spaces will not permit a slide to be out due to blocking the road. We have a 26 ft trailer and a 3/4 ton truck. I wouldn’t try anything larger than this. Heed the warning sign at the entrance, 27’ trailer, 28’ motorhome, nothing larger. Essentially if it were busy and your equipment is on the larger end, your space choices will be limited.

I’ll close on a positive note. It’s still FREE! The cave dwellings and history are not to be missed. ✌️Out!

This has to be one of the the best free campgrounds I have ever been too. Paved roads , paved sites and a bathhouse . Plus a fabulous view

We are really enjoy our stay, facility and site are very clean.

So nearby the Antelope, Glen Canyon, so many place to browsing!

Camping is rustic but very quiet and sites are very close with little privacy. Host is very nice and helpful.

Surprise! Free camping at an incredible national monument…not to be missed.

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.

This campsite was great. Perfect for popping in and out. We stayed one night and it was extremely quiet and peaceful.

Sunset View: Pretty good, w some nice more private sites . 1/4 mile to all trailheads

Canyon View at Navajo National Monument : This is such an outstanding campground that it was a shame it was closed in mid May. Staff told me that it was closed because work needed to be finished on the toilets. No work was being done on them when we walked through.
