Best Cabin Camping near Shonto, AZ

Simple but lovely campground with an incredible location, setting, and view.

We were fortunate to visit in February and had the park nearly to ourselves. I’m busy times the sites might be close together but given the gorgeous setting of tall red rock cliffs in nearly every direction, it would likely still be great.

In non-covid times the proximity to monument valley would be ideal for touring it. We used it as a base for adventures in Cedar Mesa/Bears Ears and loved it for that.

Campground itself was super clear, facilities were great, and staff was friendly and helpful. Yes, it’s still an RV campground and therefore not the solitary experience you’d find boondocking but this is in the upper echelon of RV full hook up spots we’ve seen.

I was joined early Easter morning by other campers at the fence line between the upper campground and the lower. We all watched the sun come up between the hills. There's something really special out here. 

I was destined to spend a good chunk of the day under my VW Vanagon diagnosing a shifting problem, but I digress. 

Campsite says it has wi-fi. Don't believe them. I happened to need it to get with the VW community. I ended up using my cellular data instead. Verizon reception is fine. 

When we checked in, they said "don't leave your shoes out. We have packs of roaming dogs." They certainly do. They're sweet--at least the one I met. 

Sites are red dirt. Not many trees up this way. Main roads are paved. It all works well. The campground is tucked between a couple of hills. It is stunning. 

Worth a visit for sure.

We stayed here 2 nights in a tent campsite. The office staff were very friendly. We had great views, however we think we lucked out with our specific site being in a corner, and not near the RVs. The sites are big, but there is not a lot of shade. A little hiking is possible from the campground. The bathrooms and showers were very clean, as was the campground. In terms of facilities, there were several washing machines out of service, which is only a big deal if you were counting on them to do laundry (we were) but it wasn't a huge wait. You should not rely on their wireless. We didn't need it, but did try to connect, and it just never worked. Also to note the network is 3G, so if you can get a data connection, it's very slow. We would stay here again though.

Stayed at Goulding’s for 2 nights. Full hookups. Nice showers, general store and laundry. Indoor pool. Their tour buses will pick you up at the campground. They aldo have a shuttle to the main lodge. Nice hiking trails around the property . Would stay again!

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.  We were able to take the shuttle up to the lodge for dinner.  The views around the property are gorgeous, and there are little hikes you can do right on the site.  This location is just minutes from Monument Valley, and while we did not use their tour service, Goulding's offer their own guided tour of MV.  We would stay here again when we are in the area!

You will not find a more picturesque setting around a campground. A nice trail that can be accessed from the campground. Grocery store and laundry facilities. Average restrooms and showers, on the older side. Close to Monument Valley and the Navajo Visitor Center, where you can drive the 17 mile loop through Monument Valley. Full hook ups and tent sites available.

Great place to stay and enjoy the beauty of Monument Valley. Showers, laundry, full hookups.

Stayed here during my first trip to Monument Valley. Beautiful views of the valley, a few short hikes from the campsite to an arch and other cool geological features. Clean bathrooms and showers which was nice after a few nights of backcountry camping. In the evening we walked over to the lodge theatre to watch Stagecoach (John Wayne’s first movie shot in Monument Valley) so that was a cute touch. It wasn’t very busy the weekend in February we went so we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Nice campground but I needed WiFi or cell service to work. The WiFi only good next to their pavilion. Neither Verizon nor AT&T cell service was good enough to do any work on a computer.

The perfect place to fill up during a Utah adventure. Great location, clean and well kept, and had everything we could think of: full hookups, good WiFi, on site laundry, a camp store, restaurant, and gas station. We had done 4 nights off grid in dispersed sites before this, so it was great to empty our tanks and fill up on water. We arrived after dark but it wasn’t too hard to navigate. I went over to the camp store and found a number to call for after hours registration. Within a few minutes security came by in a car and gave us all the info we needed for our site. We really appreciated that he was wearing a mask. MUST SEE: In the morning we did a short hike/walk to The Arch which I highly recommend!! It was about .5 miles from our site and absolutely stunning. NOTE that the road to Monument Valley is closed as are all parks / destinations in the Navajo Nation (due to COVID).
