Top 6 Equestrian Campgrounds near Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

We were the only ones camping here that night and could choose our spot. Access is through an easy dirt road. Amazing views at sunset, quiet, and we saw horses around in the morning. Wonderful.

This KOA is located right across the road from soem of the manor buttes in Monumewnt Valley, right in the heart of Navaho Country. We discovered this campground on our first trip to the American Southwest post COVID. This facility is newly owned and very well updated by way of lavatories, showers and laundry facilities (immaculate).  The owners are extremely friendly and connected to the guests.   All the sites have full hookups and there are additional services provided on the site such as jeep rentals, Navaho tours and horse rides.  We are satisfied with the accommodations and would come again if wevever re-visit this area. Very nice maangement!

General: 56-site campground with a mix of 50-amp pull-thru, 30-amp pull-thru, 30-amp back-in, and 30-amp tent/RV sites. All sites have water and electricity. 

Site Quality: All sites are gravel and level. As expected in an RV park, there is no separation/privacy between sites. Our back-in 30-amp site had a picnic table, electricity, and water. However, the picnic table was on the opposite side of the water and electricity, which was confusing. 

Bath/Shower house: Very clean. Nice hot water and pressure in the shower (turn the hot water all the way to the left to get the hot water going).

Activities/Amenities: Dog park, playground, laundry with three washers and three dryers ($4 per load for both which was very reasonable). Although the laundry did say it was open 24/7, when we checked in, the sheet advised us that the last load of laundry had to be in by 7 pm. There is a store open from 8 am– 8 pm. Horse tours can also be booked from the campground. 

We stayed here as we needed to fill up on water and had booked a Monument Valley sunrise tour and the KOA was one of the pick-up sites. We were able to go on our tour and be back before check-out at 11 am. There are nice views from the campground.

We only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!

Spot on right side, end of a big gravel looking parking lot. Just below two big rock formations and beside a dry creek bed.

We arrived here in a winter storm and were very happy to find an open RV park as most campgrounds and other RV parks were closed for the season. We did not need full-hook ups but we were asked to use the RV sites anyways (just not use the power, sewage connections) as the regular sites were not plowed. Lots of snow fell during the afternoon/evening but maintenance person plowed in the morning. Nice hot showers with nice hot pressure in laundry room. Wifi and excellent cell coverage on Verizon, spotty on AT&T. The little town of Escalante has several restaurants, a brew pub, a natural market and a general store. All restaurants were closed though except for Nemo drive-through which had good burgers food to go. A great place to anchor down in a winter storm.

We were happily surprised by the lovely, clean bathrooms, the friendliness of the staff, etc.

The only thing is the campsites were pretty close to each other, so if you want lots of space, this may not be the best for you.

Stayed for two nights. We picked a corner spot which coincidentally was the farthest from the office - the only restrooms in the park. Tons of rv spaces and the park was only about 1/3 full so there was decent privacy. Views of canyons in the distance, but behind a neighboring trailer park. Facilities were great, laundry, showers, restrooms, 110 plug-in and water were great. Site was really Sandy so make sure to bring entry mats for this campground!

Fantastic deal, although in hindsight there are hundreds of BLM spots within 2 miles so we would have boondocked had we known. The campground is fantastic - we chose a tent spot for our 24 ft camper and spent $33 for a beautiful spot hidden away in the trees. Free potable water and FREE showers in a beautiful facility (use the tent camping bathroom). Did 3 massive loads of laundry and dried for $20. Super friendly, convenient, would definitely go back

First time staying in an RV park. He were very happy with the facilities. The only reason I am giving a 4 star is because it could have been stocked better. There was never toilet paper or hand soap and 2 of the showers were permanently locked. Great location and close to town.

Really great WiFi, great location and pretty wide spots. Will visit again for sure!

We were here for 7 nights mid-November. It was very cold so we had to disconnect water at night but hook-ups were easy to use and worked well. Sites are gravel, fairly level and very large. Plenty of room for trailer and truck in site. Wi-Fi was weak even right by the office but, if you're patient (or have a booster) it's fine. Bathrooms/showers in the laundromat were clean and in good repair. Laundry was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not a lot to do super close by but not too far from good stuff!

We have stayed here a few times over the last 12 months. It makes for a great place to set up shop after coming off a few days of boondocking. the laundry, showers, and customer service are all great. We always pick a location near the showers, however, seeing how much they have expanded we might stay for longer next time at one of their new spots.

Pretty much the only choice in Monument Valley currently due to COVID. Amenities are very nice. This KOA is still pretty new, so the trees are small offering little to no shade. The owner really cares & will do what he can to see that you're satisfied. He lent me am extension cord so I could make coffee since all fires were restricted, (my camp stove is a wood burning SoloStove).

Be warned, lights in the showers are motion sensors, it doesn't quite go black, but it will get darker, just open the shower door to activate.

Wow. We set up our tent and explored the area. But this campground was incredible. The bathrooms are so clean, they’re practically brand new. We watched the most beautiful sunset over the landscape. Be warned - there’s a very friendly wild dog that likes to say hello. At least while we were there. She friendly and just wants some company. She did bark at night though with a few other dogs. Nothing to be concerned about. This area is so desolate it’s breathtaking.

We were able to stay on the short pull through row& got a view to die for! Those with small class c, truck camper& tent sites got the front row, which is completely unobstructed. Road noise at night was not an issue. There are big rig sites too. The bath house looked brand new. Very clean. New laundry room too. Very nice, courteous staff.

 This campground has an outstanding view of Monument Valley! Due to covid Monument Valley scenic drive was closed. We didn't feel we missed much. Every night a spectacular sunset. Every morning a fabulous sunrise. This is a low light campground, so a star filled night sky not tainted with mercury vapor lights. We used this as a base camp for the area& were not disappointed. I enthusiastically recommend! We camped at Monument Valley KOA Journey in a Travel Trailer

My fiancé and I spent a night here of our 1 month long roadtrip. Pros: Super Close to Monument valley, friendly staff, clean 24hr facilities, running water. Beautiful view if the stars and planets.

Con: Really close to highway that’s a little noisy but if you’re unbothered by that it’s the perfect spot for a one to two night stay.
