Best Glamping near Shonto, AZ

Pretty much the only choice in Monument Valley currently due to COVID. Amenities are very nice. This KOA is still pretty new, so the trees are small offering little to no shade. The owner really cares & will do what he can to see that you're satisfied. He lent me am extension cord so I could make coffee since all fires were restricted, (my camp stove is a wood burning SoloStove).

Be warned, lights in the showers are motion sensors, it doesn't quite go black, but it will get darker, just open the shower door to activate.

Wow. We set up our tent and explored the area. But this campground was incredible. The bathrooms are so clean, they’re practically brand new. We watched the most beautiful sunset over the landscape. Be warned - there’s a very friendly wild dog that likes to say hello. At least while we were there. She friendly and just wants some company. She did bark at night though with a few other dogs. Nothing to be concerned about. This area is so desolate it’s breathtaking.

We were able to stay on the short pull through row& got a view to die for! Those with small class c, truck camper& tent sites got the front row, which is completely unobstructed. Road noise at night was not an issue. There are big rig sites too. The bath house looked brand new. Very clean. New laundry room too. Very nice, courteous staff.

 This campground has an outstanding view of Monument Valley! Due to covid Monument Valley scenic drive was closed. We didn't feel we missed much. Every night a spectacular sunset. Every morning a fabulous sunrise. This is a low light campground, so a star filled night sky not tainted with mercury vapor lights. We used this as a base camp for the area& were not disappointed. I enthusiastically recommend! We camped at Monument Valley KOA Journey in a Travel Trailer

This KOA is located right across the road from soem of the manor buttes in Monumewnt Valley, right in the heart of Navaho Country. We discovered this campground on our first trip to the American Southwest post COVID. This facility is newly owned and very well updated by way of lavatories, showers and laundry facilities (immaculate).  The owners are extremely friendly and connected to the guests.   All the sites have full hookups and there are additional services provided on the site such as jeep rentals, Navaho tours and horse rides.  We are satisfied with the accommodations and would come again if wevever re-visit this area. Very nice maangement!

This is a very new, very small KOA. Trees are newly planted and sites are SMALL. If you like your front yard to contain your neighbors "poop-shoot", water line and electric box, then this is for you. With all the open land, it's too bad this campground couldn't double (or triple) the site sizes. Staff seem great but camping is about being outdoors and enjoying nature. I don't want to feel like I'm living in an apartment when camping. This campground just wasn't for us.

My fiancé and I spent a night here of our 1 month long roadtrip. Pros: Super Close to Monument valley, friendly staff, clean 24hr facilities, running water. Beautiful view if the stars and planets.

Con: Really close to highway that’s a little noisy but if you’re unbothered by that it’s the perfect spot for a one to two night stay.

Got there at about 4ish-5. Was pretty hot, but simmered down after the festivities. Great photos were taken.

We got this site on a whim, paid around 55$ for a night. Has showers, bathrooms, fire pits. Beautiful views. Can’t complain.

We enjoyed our stay at this KOA for a few nights. We were here right before a cold front moved through in the late fall. The views were a true 360 degree experience and we enjoyed a fire as the sun set and we watched the stars come out.

This campground had everything we needed and was very clean.

Nice clean park, friendly helpful folks, nice laundry room. Really close to Monument Valley.

We had a full hookup drive through site with lots of room. We took an amazing Monument Valley tour that picked us up at the campground- highly recommend.

It’s a nice spot if you don’t want to boondock but it is pricey for being a gravel parking lot. Sure there’s a dog area and a little playground but nearly $100/night seems a little steep, even if the bathrooms are very clean.

Not very big, but adequate. About 5 miles from the Monument Valley Tribal Visitors Center. Nice grassy playground. Fenced dog run but be aware that smaller dogs can easily go under the gate. Staff is nice and friendly. My only complaint is that while the bathrooms are clean and have ADA showers with seats, there is no ramp to get into the building itself. The step isn’t big, but a person in a wheelchair will have difficulty without assistance.

Campground was awesome! Had very clean toilets and showers, as well as washing machines and dryers! (It costs about $2 to wash laundry by the way). The campground had a gorgeous view of the monuments and the woman in the main office was very helpful and kind! It can get windy in this area so be mindful when you go tent camping here, and bring something to make sure that your tent is weighed down! Other than that the campsite was great.

Great Time with great people

First, you're paying for location. It's a KOA Journey, so you're not getting any amenities. Overall this is a nice campground. Sites are pretty level and gravel. Bathrooms are basic and clean. Staff is very friendly and can assist with directions and tours.

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.

Stunning views from every angle. Hike-in for tents but drive-in for campers & RVs. Sunsets and the stars are breathtaking. No pets (at least for tent sites), clean bathrooms, walking distance from hotel/restaurant that they have on site. Must reserve online for peak seasons. If going to monument valley, I highly recommend stopping here!

Nothing is really going to jump out at you here and really say that it’s amazing or breathtaking. The view during sunset are probably beautiful but we were here on a cloudy day so we didn’t see much of that beauty. The campsite for us was a little run down and it was very dirty, which was probably just the wind. Close drive to the park and going around is so many hikes.

The RV sites are really more of a gravel parking lot. The view might be great for the walk in sites but for RVs you really see more of the cabins backsides or washroom than the actual panorama. Facilities ok, but not great. Also no wifi

Probably one of pricier campgrounds I've been to when considering the campground fee and the Monument fee. However, worth it to see the views from the campground. Fairly clean and well maintained, I think the name has actually changed to "The View". For the most part tents and RV's were kept apart. The bathrooms were clean and it was nice to have showers to rinse off the desert sand (and my site was very sandy!). I didn't use the picnic table or fire pit as I was only staying one night, but it looked like all sites had the same set ups. The night sky would be spectacular on a clear night, but my one evening was cloudy.

I called to inquire about rates and the very friendly woman on the phone informed me that ALL camping is closed for 2022.

Closed for 2021 (camping)
