    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.

    Page Lake Powell Campground

    Disappointed and Inconvenienced – No Water or Electric at Campsite

    Beware- all the good reviews must be from previous owner and management 

    We had a reservation for a tent site from July 20–22, but unfortunately, the water and electric hookups were not working when we arrived—and we still had no running water the next morning. This was a major issue for our family, especially with young children. Before booking, I called to confirm that each tent site had water and electric, and I was told they did. We based our plans around that. Not having access to water made basic things like washing hands, rinsing dishes, or helping our kids clean up nearly impossible without multiple trips to the restroom area. In an effort to resolve the issue ourselves, we asked if we could apply the amount we paid for the tent site toward an upgraded accommodations due to the water line break, but we were told we’d have to pay the full price again. That felt unreasonable considering the site didn’t provide what was advertised. We ended up cutting our trip short and leaving early due to this inconvenience. I’m requesting a refund, as we did not receive the services we paid for and our vacation was significantly disrupted as a result. I am still waiting to hear back from management from an email that was sent Monday and it is Friday.

    The View Campground

    Convenient Spot

    This is definitely a 1 night stay type of place. Tons of tourist coming and going, for good reason of course. The monuments are incredible and right there! The RV sites are basically just a slotted parking lot with a picnic table each. No hookups of any kind. I went in July and it was not bad once the sun went down in my popup with the windows slightly unzipped.

    You don’t have a great view of the mittens from most all of the RV sites except the first few up by the entrance. But it’s a short walk over to some tables you can sit at and enjoy the stunning view.

    Not my favorite campsite but it does the trick for a night to enjoy the monuments only steps away.

    Bathrooms are not great and 1 of the two sinks didn’t with as well as 1 of 3 showers during my stay. Only 1 toilet Shower has been out of service for over 2 months it said so… not great at upkeep… avoid shower/bathroom from 8-10 as it was a long line out the door lol.

    The tent sites are wild and have by far the best view even over the cabins. They are right in the valley by not super flat so be aware of that.

    Overall a super cool place a lots of cool hand made items to check out in the gift shop.

    Monument Valley KOA

    Nice location

    Good location near the monument valley entrance and the border of utah and Arizona. This place is great and has everything you need. A little expensive and feel some other options in the area provide better value.

    Hummingbird Campground

    Stunning views

    The views at this camp ground were incredible!! It was super close to entrance of Monument valley. Soft sand for tents that made it super comfortable and they even have an amazing hike- we did it at sunrise and loved it. Shower was a smidge cold and there were several dogs around. They were so cute and one of them went on the hike with us. Only down side was the dog was constantly trying to get into our tent- even jumping at the side of it. Another dog came by in the middle of the night and they fought it out right next to (and on) our tent. Dogs made for a rough sleep.
