Best Cabin Camping near Bluff, UT

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).

Monticello is the ideal place to explore eastern Utah from.  Everything is about an hour away.  National Parks and monuments: Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Hovenweep, Monument Valley, Canyons of the Ancients, even Mesa Verde is close.  Moab is an hour away.  Cortez, CO is an hour away if you need recreational, um, tobacco.  It's also a lot less crowded than other places in the high season.

Old West RV Park, plunked down right in the middle of Monticello, is owned and run by "Big Jim," an avuncular trick shooter who regularly gives a show to the occupants of the 15 or so rigs that fit in his park. 

Good Verizon coverage; the campground has wifi but it doesn't stretch out to the end.  We were in space 12; Big Jim seemed to think it was not the best spot (no wifi), but we liked it because our door opened onto a view across the street instead of the side of another trailer.

The park will fit any size trailer if you can get one of the few pull-through spots.  Other spaces, like ours, will fit pretty big trailers (ours is 25-ft) but you will have to unhitch and park next to your rig.  There are full hookups and everything is in good order.

NOTE: the water pressure is quite high.  They will lend you a pressure regulator for free or they will sell you one for $15.

We really enjoyed our four days here and would definitely visit again.

I would have given it 5 stars if we got our reserved site instead of an overflow site. We camped during the eve of The Annular Eclipse 2023 (Oct 13-14). It got cold in the evening (40-45 degrees F.)

Camping is rustic but very quiet and sites are very close with little privacy. Host is very nice and helpful.

Stayed for 3 nights. Campsite was mostly level. Outhouse tidy and clean. Didn’t use the shower. Did the Navajo taco dinner, very tasty. They arranged a tour for me, ended up being a tour of just me, at sunrise for photos; Shane is great, arrived 10 minutes early. There’s a 15 min. walk to the overlook, worth doing every day for terrific views of Monument Valley. Would definitely stay there again.

Was looking for a spot close to Monument Valley and came across this gem. It is located in the property of a Navajo Family. There are 8-10 spots on their property. Each with a picnic table and fire pit. There is an outhouse to use and a shower. The camp host Alberta, who is the Mom in the property, was super kind and eager to make my stay nice. This is a family run business and an excellent location to chill out for an evening and take a nice walk to some beautiful rock structures. I am glad I found them. Spots are fairly close, but spacious enough. The night I was there, people were in tents, RVs and Trailers.

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.

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.
