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!
