Navajo National Monument Sunset View Campground

Great, easy stop on way to monument valley. We came in at night in a campervan. The roads are all paved so no issues at all even at night. Flush toilets and water is available. The visitors center has a quick walk to view an amazing cave dwelling. First come first served, but the vast majority of spots were open. Lovely spot to rest for the night.

We pulled in at 1pm just as everyone was leaving after the Native Americans Day weekend. Most spaces filled up by 5. Sunset has paved small back in spaces and just a few pull throughs. Most are small suitable for up to 15-22’ TTs . There is a 30’ rig too. Drove to the Canyon View loop to check it out. Fair road, nothing a passenger car couldn’t handle. Check out sites 2, 6 and 8 for amazing canyon views. Most sites are small with just a couple to accommodate a big rig. All free and not even an entrance fee. 7 nights max. No hookups.

We were en route from Sedona to Monument Valley, planning to camp near Valley of the Gods. However, we ended up traveling later than expected so we tried this site and are so glad we did! There were plenty of spots available on a weeknight in early April, it was not too far off the highway and was quiet and peaceful. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time to spend exploring the national monument.

Beware google maps taking you through unnecessary dirt roads and overgrown paths! Only a fair Verizon signal. No fires- and only use provided grills. Trash pickup and clean bathrooms plus potable water. Beautiful views!

Fantastic no charge campground with flush toilets!Large campsites but rocky terrain- not great for handicap

A great place to stop before the Utah state line and Monument Valley. Very quiet with stars. Several sites to choose from.

Great little campground and it’s free inside the Navajo National monument. It was clean sites are small most are level and it’s a great spot to explore the National monument and Monument Valley from.

Bathrooms, Garbage, AT&T 2 Bars. Water available. Picnic benches, nice new road, BBQ Uptops no fire rings, or Fire Rock rings seen? Shaded trees, temperatures not too bad for June month. Not too far from main highway. Right across from Peabody Rd. Go up about 5 miles or come into what looks like visitor info center. Campground to left then straight.

Two campgrounds here- we are camped at the More primitive CanyonView which limits use to 24 foot RVs and under. A few pull through sites. Piñon and juniper Mesa top provides some shade and cover. Views of the canyons and mesas as far as eye can see are great. We stayed Friday and Saturday night and maybe had two other campers in the campground. Quiet except for the ever present commercial jets. Guided hikes are still not happening due to ongoing COVID concerns and precautions by Navajo Nation. We’ll come back when those are back on line!

Small trailers and RVs under 28 feet allowed at this site.

Like a different planet! Must see! Rural area- no Verizon data, buy extra water, good grocery store/food/supplies in Kayenta 18 miles away. Hotels there too. Have fun!

We needed a place to stay overnight between Moab and Phoenix. Free with water flush toilets and pretty sunsets. No fires Some of the sites are a little funky as to where you park and where the picnic table is. Several of the picnic tables are falling apart.

Traveling, hiking and camping around Navajo National Monument and Monument Valley is a treat to the eyes. If you are a fan of Western or Cowboy movies you'll understand. You are able to see iconic landscapes that you might have seen in a movie or tv series. You're best able to cover ground by driving to various destinations. But if you have the chance to hike in the area you are rewarded with a more intimate experience. 

This area is not part of the National Park System, so NPS annual passes are not valid. There is an admission fee per individual or per car to accesss the Navajo land. In additional there are fees for backcountry hiking or guided tours.

Great place to stay, Breathe Taking Views, Dont Miss A Chance To Stay a Night or Two

In most senses, this camp ground is great. Sunset View offers a beautiful setting, a camper service sink, flushable toilets and drinkable water. The only downside for me is the no burning except charcoal and propane stovetops. No fire rings is a no-go for me.

Small visitor center, water and restrooms, and three self-guided hiking trails. Beautiful area to explore.

Sunset View Campground is a very nice free campground that would typically cost at least $20 per day. During my stay, most of the campers arrived early evening and departed early morning so the campground was empty each day.

Stay limit is 7 days per year.

This is a fantastic campground, with water, facilities but not overrun with people, and it’s free! I stayed here on a lark a few years ago and we wound up staying two nights and visiting the Betatakin, which is a free ranger lead ruins tour. This time I went back to backpack into Keet Seal, which was amazing and the stay at NNM was a perfect way to start the trip.

First: it’s FREE! No cost to camp at this gorgeous national monument with facilities! When we visited in June, we were among a small crowd of campers. We have a tent and we were very comfortable under the Northern Arizona sky.

I camped here for a geology field trip with NAU. The following day we got a tour of the monument which was awesome! I loved the hike in and out. The campsite itself was scenic and quiet.

Free pull in spots great for catching some zs while driving through. Beautiful landscaping and nice restrooms. Cowboy camped here on the way to Moab.

This campground is beautiful, it’s up the mountain and I’m not sure how big of camper can get there, we pulled our 21ft and probably wouldn’t take anything bigger, the scenery is breathtaking and it’s very worth the drive!! A must see place, and the people at visitor center are so nice and informative.
