    USA RV Park

    Dirt Sites with Some Amenities

    Not much here to write home about, but this park does offer a small, enclosed dog park, pool, a small grocery in their office building, and a “cookout” concession stand like you would find at a theme park or stadium. Their stage was being used to display a patriotic homage to the US military. No pets allowed in the amenities area. Room for improvement would be adding trees and cactus appropriate to this climate to beautify the park, because it’s pretty barren. Staff did not wear masks indoors during the rising Covid pandemic.

    Overnight near interstate

    I booked this park months out- needed a place to stay on our way home from AZ. We left the Grand Canyon in the morning and stopped in Gallup to sleep before heading to Petroglyph NM the next morning. The staff member at the entry was very efficient, friendly, and informative. Our site was toward the back of the property- so we didn’t hear any road noise. The park was probably around 3/4 full on the Monday night we stayed- but it was pretty quiet. There was a pet area with a cinder block “fence” and several people walked dogs around in the park. I wanted to take a peek at the pool- so I picked up my 6 lb dog to walk into that area to see it and a lady quickly intercepted me and said dogs couldn’t be in that area. The pool looked decent from what I could see. The cell signal seemed strong from the indicators on our devices but I guess due to the number of users in the area, we had slow service. We tried the park’s WiFi but it was too slow to do much. Our site was mostly level so we used our small curved levelers on one side. The sites are VERY close together and many of the picnic tables seem to need new boards for seats.

    Cottonwood Campground

    Basic Campground

    This campground has around 50 sites, about half of which are large enough for camper drive-in. Facilities include clean bathrooms with running water. The sites are pretty close together for my liking, but this is a nice, cheap campground for an overnight stop.

    Wonderful primitive campsite

    Campsites well maintained with a grill and firepit on each one. All seem pretty level. We were here in August and it was pleasantly cool. Also plenty of firewood. No running water but there’s an outhouse toilet that’s clean enough and a dumpster for waste. Currently their payment system is broken so it’s free! I only took one star off because the sites are all pretty exposed to each other. About 20ish sites and only 4 were taken but there wasn’t one that wasn’t visible by at least 2 of the other sites being used.

    Paved roads and pads, picnic tables, picnic fire pits, flush bathrooms, water and sewer (1 per loop), all in a beautifully trees setting. Birds singing. Conveniently located near the visitor’s centre and at the halfway point where you choose the north or south scenic drive.

    Gallup’s a great stop & a big pride in ownership campground

    The place was pretty backed when we finally rolled in at 9pm! My latest arrival and hopefully the only time we arrive so late. The kids were thrilled to learn the pool was open another hour after the long long drive we had today. The check in was quick and the staff very polite & helpful. The grounds are well cared for and lots of amenities such as an on-site BBQ, free coffee in the morning. Pool. Outdoor chess, beautiful fountains, wonderful kids playground. I’d definitely make Gallup a stop over in the future.

    The cleanest park we’ve been to yet. Showers, bathroom and laundry are spotless as well the campground itself. The owners daughter was extremely helpful and friendly as she checked us in. The store on site is pretty large. We will definitely come back!

    Nice RV Park

    Had everything we needed plus more. Heated pool with American Flag inlaid. Veteran theme. Nice area to hike is the creek bed joust off the doggie walk area. Heated pool is no turned off for the winter. Over 100 sites, most pull through.


Guide to Window Rock

Camping options near Window Rock, Arizona provide access to the dramatic red-rock landscapes of the Navajo Nation at elevations ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically remain moderate with highs in the 80s and cool nights in the 50s, while winters bring freezing temperatures and occasional snow. Several campgrounds in the region offer various accommodation types including cabins, yurts, and traditional Navajo hogans.

What to do

Hike to canyon views: For those staying at Spider Rock Campground, a hiking trail starts directly from the property to Canyon de Chelly. "There is a great hiking trail that starts at the campground and goes to the canyon," notes Francois T., who appreciated the campground's proximity to key sights.

Visit White House ruins: The White House Trail is one of the few self-guided hikes allowed into Canyon de Chelly without a tour guide. "Don't miss the hike down into the canyon to see the White House (named after the large cliff dwelling ruin cut into white rock)," recommends Craig J., who found the canyon "breathtaking" with "red cliffs surrounding lush-looking pastures."

Explore Zuni Mountains: Quaking Aspen Campground serves as an excellent base for exploring this forested area. "Amazing hiking and mtb'ing trails. And, a nice lake," says Tommy B., who considered it "The Best $5 campsite." The area stands in stark contrast to the desert landscapes found elsewhere in the region.

What campers like

Navajo cultural experiences: The area offers opportunities to learn about Navajo traditions and purchase authentic crafts. At Canyon de Chelly, "Just about each pull off has native vendors selling handmade art and goods," notes Laura M., who visited Cottonwood Campground.

Shaded sites during hot months: Many campers appreciate the cottonwood trees that provide relief from summer heat. "Clean campground with flush toilets very close to the visitor center... The interior sites have lots of cottonwood trees for shade," reports ann M. about Cottonwood Campground.

Quiet camping experience: Even during peak times, many area campgrounds remain uncrowded. "Ranger told me he's never seen the campground fill up," shared Catherine S. about Cottonwood Campground, while another visitor at Quaking Aspen noted, "Small campground with massive campsites... with so few campers, even when the site is full, you don't feel like anyone's fighting for their potty time."

What you should know

Rustic facilities: Many campgrounds in this region offer basic amenities. Spider Rock Campground is described by visitors as "rough around the edges" and "covered with a layer of fine red dust," though still functional for most campers.

Water availability varies seasonally: At USA RV Park, water hookups run year-round, but at Cottonwood Campground, "water is turned off for the winter. Dump station open year round," according to Laura M., who visited during the off-season.

Yurt camping near Window Rock: For those seeking yurt or hogan accommodations instead of tent camping, be aware of space limitations. One visitor at Spider Rock noted that while traditional hogans are available, "One can sleep at ease on these mattresses, 3 people maximum" despite being told the space could accommodate more.

Navajo Nation regulations: "This is Navajo Nation and there is no alcohol or marijuana use allowed," reminds Laura M., an important regulation for visitors to understand. These rules apply across all Navajo lands, including campgrounds near Window Rock.

Tips for camping with families

Pet-friendly options: Most campgrounds in the area welcome pets, though some restrictions may apply. "There was a pet area with a cinder block 'fence' and several people walked dogs around in the park," observed Susan R. at USA RV Park.

Food delivery services: Some campgrounds are close enough to towns for food delivery. "We were able to get pizza delivered to our RV site which was a big hit with the kids," shared Nicole B. about her stay at USA RV Park, making meal planning easier for families.

Wildlife awareness: Campers should be prepared for encounters with local wildlife. "We saw abundant wildlife while working in the Zunis, including several brown bears, deer, and elk," reports Tyler G. from Quaking Aspen Campground, advising visitors to "take necessary bear-proofing precautions."

Tips from RVers

Size limitations: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger RVs. At Spider Rock Campground, one visitor with a 28' 5th wheel reported: "After looking at the potential spots, had to back our way out. There is no way to turn around. If camping here, I would have had to back my way into a spot."

Dumping stations: For those needing to dump waste tanks, check availability before arrival. "Dump station easy to access with working black tank sprayer," notes Christine Z. about Cottonwood Campground.

Level sites: Many campsites in the region require minimal leveling. "Our site was mostly level so we used our small curved levelers on one side," reported Susan R. at USA RV Park, though she also noted that "the sites are VERY close together."
