  Sleeping Bear Campground

  Amazing place

  It’s a dry camping spot. We didn’t see wild animals around. Has a Porta-potty in the campground. Nice views and not too many people in the campground. 25$ per night host came to welcome us and collect the payment.

  Monument Valley KOA

  Nice but expensive

  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.

  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.

  Beautiful Views & Quiet Campground

  We camped here for two nights in mid September - site #2. it was really quiet with beautiful views of Monument Valley.

  The campsite was big and had a picnic table and shade covering. It also had a rock fire ring.

  The owner Laura came by each night to collect the $25 fee. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. 

  I would highly recommend this campground.

  Monument Valley KOA

  Quick basic stop with beautiful views

  Simple campground with clean bathrooms and showers. Bonus to have a fenced in albeit small dog run. Playground is good for older kids, too big for our tot. Not a lot of shade or protection from the wind but we were just there for a night. Great views to wake up to and the night sky was breathtaking.

  Road traffic was consistent but not overwhelming

  My wife and I camped at Sleeping Bear for 2 nights .

  The owners are very nice people, the views are great. Instead of just driving through we had time to go explore the Valley of the Gods and the surrounding area. We were tent camping and were quite comfortable. I would definitely camp there again. The night sky is hard to top. Rod and Valerie

  Great Experience

  Only stayed for one night but the view was awesome and was literally no one else in the entire campsite (whilst other sites down the road were fully booked). Owners were very nice and offered great advice.

  Great place to stay!

  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.

  Beautiful view

  We stayed one night $25, instead of $60 at others nearby. First come, first go. No water and a dixi as ‘restroom’. Beautiful quiet place. Money gets collected in the evening.

  Memories for life, what a spot!

  Having drove past the packed KOA campground in Monument Vally, we arrived at Sleeping Bear with huge smiles on our faces... couldn't believe what a beautiful location it was and only one other van there!! OMG, desert camping at its best :-) only sad we only had one night there on our Utah road trip. A lovely young lady came to collect the $25? around 8pm, had a nice chat, she told us about the camps history and the formations surrounding us. We went on a horseback ride with Joe Atene, the entrance to which is very close to Sleeping Bear (see on Google maps). Note there are no signs on the main road to the campsite, just follow Google.

  Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area, provided you don't need any facilities, just peace and quiet. The road was in decent condition, our RV was 8m long and no issues at all with parking. some large parking spots are available.

  Monument Valley KOA

  Newer KOA

  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.

  Very clean and staff is always happy to help

  The camping facilities, including the showers, are impeccably clean. Despite our heater malfunctioning, the kind staff generously offered us theirs for the night. The sense of community here is truly exceptional. I absolutely adore this place!

  Monument Valley KOA

  Clean but way too expensive

  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.

  Monument Valley KOA

  YAY! Full Hook Ups…BOO! Super Expensive

  What can I say - it was pouring rain and our free, dispersed campground was washed out! We called Gouldings, but they were full. The KOA had a pull thru full hook up site. We are trying to camp on a budget, and at nearly $150 a night, the budget was blown. I do want to say that we really really enjoyed having full hook ups and had a chance to catch up on Laundry, so there’s that. Also, it was very close to Monument Valley and we had fun. We were able to scout out our next camping location as well. The Wi-Fi was down for a while and then it started working. It was not busy in the campground. They had a very nice dog park. All in all, we really liked the park, just not the price!

  Nice park and amazing views

  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.

  Very unique and authentic!

  The property is exclusive and off the grid. Don't forget to look up at the night sky, beautiful star lite.

  360 degree views!

  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.

  Pretty cool

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

  Amazing!!

  Arrived at 4:30 ish- just before the “golden hour” when the sunrays have a magic honey tone. The site doesn't have much for amenities BUT more than makes up for that with views. Camp host was really friendly, came by just after we got our tent up. Luckily it was a clear night and we got to view the milky way.

  Loved the location - stayed an extra day

  We arrived at 1 PM with no one else there and picked the best spot. At about 5 PM people began coming in to where the park was approximately 75% full by 9 PM. There was 3G, T-mobile cell phone service. The owner is pleasant and will come by after you have picked your spot to collect. Which spot includes a picnic table covered by slats and they fire ring. There are restrooms as well.

  Fantastic site for a sunrise visit to Monument Valley

  Went on a birthday road trip, with one of the main goals being getting to Monument Valley for sunrise photos. The site is super easy to find, has wonderful views, super clean pit toilets, and great for the price point. The very friendly owner came by several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I wish we'd stayed more than one night.

  Great stay right by monument valley

  It has porta potties, tables and bbq pits with fireplace. Nobody came to check on me or charge me but I did have noisy drunk neighbors but other then that it was not bad!

  Had barely one bar of service for Verizon

  I would stay here again no doubt!
