    Monument Valley KOA

    Nice location

    Good location near the monument valley entrance and the border of utah and Arizona. This place is great and has everything you need. A little expensive and feel some other options in the area provide better value.

    Sleeping Bear Campground

    Memories for life, what a spot!

    Having drove past the packed KOA campground in Monument Vally, we arrived at Sleeping Bear with huge smiles on our faces... couldn't believe what a beautiful location it was and only one other van there!! OMG, desert camping at its best :-) only sad we only had one night there on our Utah road trip. A lovely young lady came to collect the $25? around 8pm, had a nice chat, she told us about the camps history and the formations surrounding us. We went on a horseback ride with Joe Atene, the entrance to which is very close to Sleeping Bear (see on Google maps). Note there are no signs on the main road to the campsite, just follow Google.

    Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area, provided you don't need any facilities, just peace and quiet. The road was in decent condition, our RV was 8m long and no issues at all with parking. some large parking spots are available.

    Sleeping Bear Campground

    Views and horses

    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.

    Monument Valley KOA

    An Oasis in Monument Valley

    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!

    Escalante Cabins & R.V. Park

    Friendly and Clean!

    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!

    Monument Valley KOA

    A smaller KOA

    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.

    Sleeping Bear Campground

    Most amazing spot near monument valley

    Loved waking up to the gorgeous views. Definitely primitive, but loved the seclusion. Host was very friendly. Grill and picnic tables close by. Entire site to ourselves absolutely perfect.

    Nice Burr Road side stop overnight

    Good location to have a few group camp next to small Butte.  I think the location on the map is off slightly.  Our cords were 37.84858,-111.37018.
