Gouldings RV and Campground 

Monument Valley is definitely off the beaten path.  There are very few places to camp here.  What makes Goulding a good choice is the location.  It’s within a few minutes drive of Monument Valley. The camping spots are really just a parking space, but the campground does provide showers, laundry, general store, restaurant, museum and interesting history.  Take the time to visit the local museum.  Fun to learn about the films made here.  We’ve camped here several times, but never hang out at the campground.  We mainly use it as a jumping point to explore all the other things this area has to offer.  Definitely take a Jeep tour.  We did a tour that included an dinner and Indian ceremony. It was an incredible experience!

Great location, not much of a camping experience

Monument Valley is spectacular! We were fortunate to stay overnight during a full moon and all I can say is do it if you get a chance. The site is clean, well laid out, super easy access from site to several trailheads. Lots of dog friendly folks and great adventure! A little far from the Welcome Center to walk but an easy drive

A beautiful setting

The camp is located just across the street from MV. There are numerous clean showers for a charge with flush toilets just located beyond the main store/check in center. We had our pick of the litter as we arrived in early march and were but few people staying the night. The site had your typical picnic bench/fire pit, but we didn't use as it was a bit chilly. We drove across the street to see the sunset over the range from the parking lot. A beautiful use of free time on a clear night. The site was nice a quiet, bathrooms nice and close for a mid-night bio-break. We would definitely come back for the convenience and beauty of this campsite.

A quiet camp on the hill

If you get to the campgrounds early enough you can set up a tent at the edge. This way you will have a clear view of Monument Valley with no other tents or distractions in the way. Restrooms are clean and close by, so you can walk to them from the campsite. However, it was a little noisy at night because you're camping near the parking lot and some people come late in the evening to set up.

Great views

We visited Memorial Day Weekend. The campground was empty because it was HOT. The campground is a basic dirt field with only a few small trees. We took the site that had trees for shade. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit. The campground has a cute history and fun touristy things to check out... and it's convenience to Monument Valley is superb. Although the views from our site were less than desirable, the rest of the campground offered picturesque scenes of the nearby "monuments."

No shade but very convenient

The perfect place to fill up during a Utah adventure. Great location, clean and well kept, and had everything we could think of: full hookups, good WiFi, on site laundry, a camp store, restaurant, and gas station. We had done 4 nights off grid in dispersed sites before this, so it was great to empty our tanks and fill up on water. 
We arrived after dark but it wasn’t too hard to navigate. I went over to the camp store and found a number to call for after hours registration. Within a few minutes security came by in a car and gave us all the info we needed for our site. We really appreciated that he was wearing a mask. 
MUST SEE: In the morning we did a short hike/walk to The Arch which I highly recommend!! It was about .5 miles from our site and absolutely stunning. 
NOTE that the road to Monument Valley is closed as are all parks / destinations in the Navajo Nation (due to COVID). 

Full service getaway in Monument Valley 

Simple but lovely campground with an incredible location, setting, and view. 

We were fortunate to visit in February and had the park nearly to ourselves. I’m busy times the sites might be close together but given the gorgeous setting of tall red rock cliffs in nearly every direction, it would likely still be great. 

In non-covid times the proximity to monument valley would be ideal for touring it. We used it as a base for adventures in Cedar Mesa/Bears Ears and loved it for that. 

Campground itself was super clear, facilities were great, and staff was friendly and helpful. Yes, it’s still an RV campground and therefore not the solitary experience you’d find boondocking but this is in the upper echelon of RV full hook up spots we’ve seen. 

Location is Everything - and what a location this is!

Hidden in the middle of red rock canyon this campground was great!  Late check-in greeted and led to site by security.  Campground was quiet and peaceful.  Woke up and saw the splendor of this place!  Clean showers and there are plenty.  Well kept grounds and great laundry room.  They have signs up to wear masks but respected social distancing due to not having one.  The drive here from New Mexico was just as beautiful!

Hidden Gem!

If you want to camp in Monument Valley with full hookups this is a great place. It's clean and quiet. 

Location is amazing, clean

Stayed at Goulding’s for 2 nights. Full hookups. Nice showers, general store and laundry. Indoor pool. Their tour buses will pick you up at the campground. They aldo have a shuttle to the main lodge. Nice hiking trails around the property . Would stay again!

Canyon views and great amenities 

This campground was absolutely beautiful. It was nestled between mountains and overlooked monument valley. There were a few hiking trails on property and a store, full hook ups. Highly recommend!!

Amazing views

Easy check in, clean bathrooms, friendly staff 

Well upkept campground 

Stayed here during my first trip to Monument Valley. Beautiful views of the valley, a few short hikes from the campsite to an arch and other cool geological features. Clean bathrooms and showers which was nice after a few nights of backcountry camping. In the evening we walked over to the lodge theatre to watch Stagecoach (John Wayne’s first movie shot in Monument Valley) so that was a cute touch. It wasn’t very busy the weekend in February we went so we enjoyed the peace and quiet. 

Beautiful views and comfortable camping

This is a really nice campground within Navajo Nation near Monument Valley Park. With tax, we paid $47 for full hookups. Pretty pricey for us, but we didn’t have many other alternatives if we wanted to stay in this area. No boondocking allowed on Navajo Nation land. 

  

There are a few RV sites with no hookups for $29 available, but you are charged $10 to use the dump anyway. There are also tent sites available. The views from this campground are just amazing, and there are several short hikes from here as well. They offer laundry, showers (hot and free and clean), wifi, and there is a store with some basic necessities. 

  

A short walk away (about a mile) is the lodge, gift shop, museum, movie theater with a John Wayne movie every night, and restaurant. There’s also a grocery store. The setup is your basic RV park lineup of sites all in a row, but we didn’t mind at all, surrounded by such gorgeous scenery. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring. 

  

Heads up that RVs are not allowed on the scenic loop through Monument Valley. Also that the America the Beautiful Annual Parks Pass is not honored here and it’s $20 to enter.

Surrounded by Amazing Views

Great stay!

Campground is close to monument valley and has a trail to an arch accessible via the campground. Campsites we’re compact with a bunch of people.

Solid place close to Monument Valley

We stopped here to overnight crossing through Utah and wow what a surprise. It’s nestled between some amazing canyons and incredible views. There are showers port a potties and restrooms throughout the facility. We paid $26 for a tent spot that our van was easily able to access.  

Great stay incredible views

You will not find a more picturesque setting around a campground.  A nice trail that can be accessed from the campground.  Grocery store and laundry facilities.  Average restrooms and showers, on the older side.  Close to Monument Valley and the Navajo Visitor Center, where you can drive the 17 mile loop through Monument Valley.   Full hook ups and tent sites available.

Gouldings RV Park and Campground 

Great place to stay and enjoy the beauty of Monument Valley. Showers, laundry, full hookups. 

Beautiful view of Monument Valley righ from our campsite. 

Good location and  amenities. Indoor pool,  market on site, laundry. Nice view on monument valley. It has more appeal than the KOA.

Good stay

I was joined early Easter morning by other campers at the fence line between the upper campground and the lower. We all watched the sun come up between the hills. There's something really special out here. 

  

I was destined to spend a good chunk of the day under my VW Vanagon diagnosing a shifting problem, but I digress. 

  

Campsite says it has wi-fi. Don't believe them. I happened to need it to get with the VW community. I ended up using my cellular data instead. Verizon reception is fine. 

  

When we checked in, they said "don't leave your shoes out. We have packs of roaming dogs." They certainly do. They're sweet--at least the one I met. 

  

Sites are red dirt. Not many trees up this way. Main roads are paved. It all works well. The campground is tucked between a couple of hills. It is stunning. 

  

Worth a visit for sure.

Incredible views, roaming dogs, crummy wi-fi (if that matters)

This campground is very nice. Beautiful views and hikes right from the campground. Very close to all the awesome sites. However I would request to stay in the pull through sites. We were last minute and was put into a sight that was overflow 

Great spot 

Showers, ferral dogs, lots of flies, close numbered spots, and lots of traffic noise. Everything camping shouldn't be. 
There are great views and some hiking trails around it, though.

Ease of camping

Ok campground in Monument Valley. Site was 43. We only stayed 1 night for travel and didn't explore the area. Our site was very unlevel. Great views, laundry, restroom facilities, indoor pool on site. Nice short trail to an Arch in the campground. Not much in this area and campsite was very expensive.
