With 31 paved sites and flush toilets, this free campground sits directly adjacent to Navajo National Monument Visitor Center. The paved road provides easy access for RVs up to 28 feet, though most sites require leveling blocks due to uneven terrain. Some sites offer pull-through configurations.
Each site includes a picnic table and charcoal grill. Fires are prohibited, but charcoal grilling appears permitted based on the provided equipment. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis and maintains a steady flow of visitors without typically reaching capacity. Sites 11-16 receive particular praise from campers for their positioning.
The location provides immediate access to hiking trails leading to ancient cliff dwellings and the monument's visitor center. Kevin M. notes the area offers "great hikes to cliffside dwellings" with "super clean and private" campsites. Dark skies make the area suitable for stargazing, while the western exposure delivers the sunsets that give the campground its name.
The campground serves as a convenient base for exploring Monument Valley and includes an overlook of nearby Hopi villages within the national monument. For those seeking additional camping options in the region, places to camp around Shonto provide alternatives for extended area exploration.
