  Monument Valley KOA

  New KOA, gonna be pretty good after it's finished

  This is a New KOA during our stay the had some working being done still, they have just finished the bathrooms and showers, the road was still also being worked on, but was fine to drive in my car. It's very close to the actual park entrance only a few miles away, the wifi is spotty at best, and our electrical on our tent site was not yet up and running, they only had fire would for sale, as they were putting a small store together, and the road noise is not bad but it's right by the main roadway, with that all being said, all can easily be put aside as the VIEW.....AMAZING!!!

  The bathrooms and showers had very nice materials in them, they were also putting together the kids playground, I plan to come back next year when hopefully it's complete. For the 3 night stay Under $120 it was perfect, which included our grass site for two tent's a fire ring with grill insert and a picnic table. There's another cool rock structure called Mexican hat which is about 30 minutes east and if you drive a little over an hour you can visit the four corners.

  Monument Valley KOA

  A smaller KOA

  General: 56-site campground with a mix of 50-amp pull-thru, 30-amp pull-thru, 30-amp back-in, and 30-amp tent/RV sites. All sites have water and electricity. 

  Site Quality: All sites are gravel and level. As expected in an RV park, there is no separation/privacy between sites. Our back-in 30-amp site had a picnic table, electricity, and water. However, the picnic table was on the opposite side of the water and electricity, which was confusing. 

  Bath/Shower house: Very clean. Nice hot water and pressure in the shower (turn the hot water all the way to the left to get the hot water going).

  Activities/Amenities: Dog park, playground, laundry with three washers and three dryers ($4 per load for both which was very reasonable). Although the laundry did say it was open 24/7, when we checked in, the sheet advised us that the last load of laundry had to be in by 7 pm. There is a store open from 8 am– 8 pm. Horse tours can also be booked from the campground. 

  We stayed here as we needed to fill up on water and had booked a Monument Valley sunrise tour and the KOA was one of the pick-up sites. We were able to go on our tour and be back before check-out at 11 am. There are nice views from the campground.

  Gouldings RV and Campground

  Surrounded by Amazing Views

  This is a really nice campground within Navajo Nation near Monument Valley Park. With tax, we paid $47 for full hookups. Pretty pricey for us, but we didn’t have many other alternatives if we wanted to stay in this area. No boondocking allowed on Navajo Nation land. 

  There are a few RV sites with no hookups for $29 available, but you are charged $10 to use the dump anyway. There are also tent sites available. The views from this campground are just amazing, and there are several short hikes from here as well. They offer laundry, showers (hot and free and clean), wifi, and there is a store with some basic necessities. 

  A short walk away (about a mile) is the lodge, gift shop, museum, movie theater with a John Wayne movie every night, and restaurant. There’s also a grocery store. The setup is your basic RV park lineup of sites all in a row, but we didn’t mind at all, surrounded by such gorgeous scenery. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring. 

  Heads up that RVs are not allowed on the scenic loop through Monument Valley. Also that the America the Beautiful Annual Parks Pass is not honored here and it’s $20 to enter.

  Gouldings RV and Campground

  Full service getaway in Monument Valley

  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).

  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!

  Gouldings RV and Campground

  No shade but very convenient

  We visited Memorial Day Weekend. The campground was empty because it was HOT. The campground is a basic dirt field with only a few small trees. We took the site that had trees for shade. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit. The campground has a cute history and fun touristy things to check out... and it's convenience to Monument Valley is superb. Although the views from our site were less than desirable, the rest of the campground offered picturesque scenes of the nearby "monuments."

  Hummingbird Campground

  Right down the road from Monument Valley

  Was looking for a spot close to Monument Valley and came across this gem. It is located in the property of a Navajo Family. There are 8-10 spots on their property. Each with a picnic table and fire pit. There is an outhouse to use and a shower. The camp host Alberta, who is the Mom in the property, was super kind and eager to make my stay nice. This is a family run business and an excellent location to chill out for an evening and take a nice walk to some beautiful rock structures. I am glad I found them. Spots are fairly close, but spacious enough. The night I was there, people were in tents, RVs and Trailers.

  Hummingbird Campground

  Warm people

  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.  Brian and Alberta were very warm and hospitable.  They helped me to enjoy my stay.  I had a Navajo Taco, it was delicious and bountiful.  The location is right in Monument Valley and right off the main road to the Monument Valley loop drive.  They have sheltered picnic tables and fire rings with movable grates.  Be aware that it is over 20 miles to most stores and services, but it is an easy drive.  Both tent and RV campers were welcome.  Interestingly I met a few international travelers while there.  A wonderful campsite with amazing scenery and very warm and hospitable hosts.

  Roam America Horseshoe Bend

  VERY new, and inviting...but a few warning signs for the future

  We spent 3 nights here in June, 2023.  They told us the place had just opening in February of the same year.  So it's very new, and it shows.  Everything was immaculate.  It's in a nice location, with attractive cliffs all around, and it's actually pretty close to Antelope Canyon and very close to Page itself.  As you'd expect from a place so new, the power, water & sewer were all top notch.  The main check in building (with a little shop) was pretty upscale.  And the bathhouses were great too (with caveat, coming later).  You get a full bathroom to yourself; a lockable room with shower, sink with large counter, toilet, shampoo/conditioner and plenty of space overall.  They pipe in music so that sounds overall are muffled.  They have laundry facilities as well, but we didn't use those.

  All in all, sounds like a 5 star experience, yes?  Well, a few things bothered me for the future of this place:

  1)  The sites, planted with still very young trees, are mostly ornamental rock.  And growing everywhere through this rock are tumbleweeds.  I live in NM, and know how pernicious these can be.  Yet no effort appeared to be underway to nip them in the bud.  These will soon be unattractive nuisances.  And will make the sites seem much less worth the rather high price of camping here (we paid $85 per night).

  2)  The  restrooms, although lovely, were CHRONICALLY out of toilet paper and paper towels.  We learned to bring our own.  One morning, I went in and could have had access to any of the 7 or 8 rooms.  NONE had TP or paper towels.  Not one.  This happened consistently during our visit.  They need to solve that, or their noteworthy bathrooms will become an annoyance.

  3)  Also, note that the sites are up on curbs.  We grounded out our hitch several times when pulling in or out.  I can't help but feel the sites could have been built at more like ground level, and not up on curbs.

  Still, a very nice stay.
