    Great campground, awesome amenities

    The tent site were a little tight for our camper van so they pro rated us the tent price for the first night. Very clean showers and bathrooms. Washing machines and dryers available for a fee in an air conditioned room. Very friendly staff!

    Amazing place

    It’s a dry camping spot. We didn’t see wild animals around. Has a Porta-potty in the campground. Nice views and not too many people in the campground. 25$ per night host came to welcome us and collect the payment.

    Nice but expensive

    First, you're paying for location. It's a KOA Journey, so you're not getting any amenities. Overall this is a nice campground. Sites are pretty level and gravel. Bathrooms are basic and clean. Staff is very friendly and can assist with directions and tours.

    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.

    Beautiful Views & Quiet Campground

    We camped here for two nights in mid September - site #2. it was really quiet with beautiful views of Monument Valley.

    The campsite was big and had a picnic table and shade covering. It also had a rock fire ring.

    The owner Laura came by each night to collect the $25 fee. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. 

    I would highly recommend this campground.

    Monument Valley KOA

    Quick basic stop with beautiful views

    Simple campground with clean bathrooms and showers. Bonus to have a fenced in albeit small dog run. Playground is good for older kids, too big for our tot. Not a lot of shade or protection from the wind but we were just there for a night. Great views to wake up to and the night sky was breathtaking.

    Road traffic was consistent but not overwhelming

    The cheapest camp in MV

    Prons: 25 dollars per night, viewpoint is amazing, quiet

    Cons: No shower, dirty toilets, no water, no trash bins

    My wife and I camped at Sleeping Bear for 2 nights .

    The owners are very nice people, the views are great. Instead of just driving through we had time to go explore the Valley of the Gods and the surrounding area. We were tent camping and were quite comfortable. I would definitely camp there again. The night sky is hard to top. Rod and Valerie

    Great Experience

    Only stayed for one night but the view was awesome and was literally no one else in the entire campsite (whilst other sites down the road were fully booked). Owners were very nice and offered great advice.

    Great place to stay!

    Campground was awesome! Had very clean toilets and showers, as well as washing machines and dryers! (It costs about $2 to wash laundry by the way). The campground had a gorgeous view of the monuments and the woman in the main office was very helpful and kind! It can get windy in this area so be mindful when you go tent camping here, and bring something to make sure that your tent is weighed down! Other than that the campsite was great.

    Beautiful view

    We stayed one night $25, instead of $60 at others nearby. First come, first go. No water and a dixi as ‘restroom’. Beautiful quiet place. Money gets collected in the evening.

    Amazing Place to Stay in Escalante!

    Amazing place to stay in Escalante! The owners and managers are so nice and everything was comfy and perfect! They had kettle corn outside at night and karaoke! This was such a great place to stay and had all the amenities! It’s also right across the street from the Visitor Center which is really convenient. It’s a family friendly property and you can tell they really care about taking care of it. I’d recommend if you’re traveling to Escalante you book a spot here.

    Incredible Value

    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.

    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.

    Awesome spot

    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

    Monument Valley KOA

    Newer KOA

    Not very big, but adequate. About 5 miles from the Monument Valley Tribal Visitors Center. Nice grassy playground. Fenced dog run but be aware that smaller dogs can easily go under the gate. Staff is nice and friendly. My only complaint is that while the bathrooms are clean and have ADA showers with seats, there is no ramp to get into the building itself. The step isn’t big, but a person in a wheelchair will have difficulty without assistance.

    Sandy but large

    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!

    Very clean and staff is always happy to help

    The camping facilities, including the showers, are impeccably clean. Despite our heater malfunctioning, the kind staff generously offered us theirs for the night. The sense of community here is truly exceptional. I absolutely adore this place!

    Clean but way too expensive

    It’s a nice spot if you don’t want to boondock but it is pricey for being a gravel parking lot. Sure there’s a dog area and a little playground but nearly $100/night seems a little steep, even if the bathrooms are very clean.

    Monument Valley KOA

    YAY! Full Hook Ups…BOO! Super Expensive

    What can I say - it was pouring rain and our free, dispersed campground was washed out! We called Gouldings, but they were full. The KOA had a pull thru full hook up site. We are trying to camp on a budget, and at nearly $150 a night, the budget was blown. I do want to say that we really really enjoyed having full hook ups and had a chance to catch up on Laundry, so there’s that. Also, it was very close to Monument Valley and we had fun. We were able to scout out our next camping location as well. The Wi-Fi was down for a while and then it started working. It was not busy in the campground. They had a very nice dog park. All in all, we really liked the park, just not the price!

    Nice clean park, friendly helpful folks, nice laundry room. Really close to Monument Valley.

    We had a full hookup drive through site with lots of room. We took an amazing Monument Valley tour that picked us up at the campground- highly recommend.

    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.
