Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mexican Hat, UT

We originally wanted to stay in Mexican hat for a few days, but once we got there we found there was little to no cell service. We looked around for other potential options and found that Blanding had decent Verizon, so we went back up(about an hour away from Mexican Hat). Once we arrived, we were blown away by how nice it was. The park was extremely well maintained, had trees, dog parks, dog trash cans, 2 hot shower and bathroom locations, full hookup service, and park WiFi.

The hosts were extremely nice and gave us some inside information on local petroglyphs, which is part of the reason we wanted to stay in the area. 

If you are traveling through the area (to or maybe from Moab/ Arches) this is a must stop over- even if it's just to take a hot shower, dump your tanks, charge your batteries, and use the park WiFi.

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were here for a few days in mid April. The CG is pretty basic, and could use a little work, but has full hook-ups with 30A service. We were in site 4(a pull-through) for 4 nights in mid April. The owner was friendly and helpful. It’s a good central location for exploring scenic areas in the vicinity if you need/want FHUs. While here we plan to visit a number of scenic areas in; Gooseneck SP, Mexican Hat Rock, Moki Dugway, Muley Point Overlook, Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley- lots to see around here.

AT&T coverage showed 2 Bars of LTE service, with speeds up to 3.5 MB/s. We had an unobstructed view of the sky and so we were able to receive all 3 SW Dish satellites and Starlink had up to 15 MB/s. We didn’t try to load any OTA channels.

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

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.

Came here to see petroglyphs which are next to the campground along the San Juan River. 

The campground is $15/night first come first served and can accommodate big rigs. The sites are dirt and gravel and each has a fire pit and picnic table. Area was dusty and very sunny though some sites offer some shade. 

The campground is not far off of the highway so there is some road noise. There is a boat ramp for river access. There were quite a few fishers so must be good fishing area though I don’t really know. There is no garbage and water is available seasonally, but pit toilets are available so pack in and pack out and bring lots of water. The campground was clean and the petroglyphs were cool, it's just too bad that people vandalized them. 

Good place to stay for a day or two.

Small campground located in Natural Bridges National Monument, which is located within Bears Ears National Monument boundaries.

$15/night. Self pay, first come first served. There are vault toilets, garbage cans, and plastic, paper, and aluminum recycling within the campground. No water at campground, but the visitor center has bottle and jug filling stations. 

The length limit is 26ft, which seems accurate as our 26ft motorhome fit in the spot but anything bigger wouldn’t have. The loop is narrow as well, so bigger rigs would have a difficult time navigating the campground. 

There are hikes in between the bridges (no bikes allowed on hiking trails) or you can drive or bike the 9 mile loop to see the bridges. 

No cell service here and service in the Bears Ears NM was spotty. The cell booster did not help and there is no wifi in the visitor center/ bookstore.

Well looks can be deceiving. This may not be the pretty campground but it certainly has a good personality. Cell coverage was marginal and frequently was roaming or 1X/3G. The grounds do offer a free Wi-Fi but it was no more reliable than cellular coverage. We prebooked online and self served when we arrived. The bathrooms were actually quite nice and the showers were great. Bluff doesn't offer much for entertainment but is close to great sites and hikes. The sites are first come first served and are large pull through with full hookup options. The electric is 30amp or 120v only.
