  Hovenweep National Monument

  Great little campground!

  Many roads into area, all narrow, winding and potholed. Arrive well before dark as roads are also full of livestock. Clean bathroom but no showers. Lovely views all around. Dark sky activities in summer. Shelters and fire rings at all spots as well as nice tent pads. Some rv only spots. Water inside visitor center, pump out front didn't work. Free admission to Monument, $15 bucks to camp. Improvements to water and infrastructure in progress. Fees for admission coming in May 2019.

  Natural Bridges Campground

  Good for the Night

  We stayed here for 1 night in our camper van in late February and had the place to ourselves. Sites were nice with a fire ring and picnic tables. A good spot if you’re going from Canyonlands to Capitol Reef National Park. Vault toilets, no running water, no hookups.

  Goosenecks State Park Campground

  Breath taking views

  After traveling to Muley point later in the day than expected we needed a place to park our Campervan. We were pleasantly surprised at this small unattended campsite. The views were WONDERFUL! Vaulted toilets, no water. but good shaded covers to the picnic tables and fire ring.

  Natural Bridges Campground

  Cool Out of the Way National Monument

  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.

  Monument Valley KOA

  New KOA, gonna be pretty good after it's finished

  This is a New KOA during our stay the had some working being done still, they have just finished the bathrooms and showers, the road was still also being worked on, but was fine to drive in my car. It's very close to the actual park entrance only a few miles away, the wifi is spotty at best, and our electrical on our tent site was not yet up and running, they only had fire would for sale, as they were putting a small store together, and the road noise is not bad but it's right by the main roadway, with that all being said, all can easily be put aside as the VIEW.....AMAZING!!!

  The bathrooms and showers had very nice materials in them, they were also putting together the kids playground, I plan to come back next year when hopefully it's complete. For the 3 night stay Under $120 it was perfect, which included our grass site for two tent's a fire ring with grill insert and a picnic table. There's another cool rock structure called Mexican hat which is about 30 minutes east and if you drive a little over an hour you can visit the four corners.

  Goosenecks State Park Campground

  Sleeping at cliffs edge.

  Goosenecks State Park is better than Horshoe Bend at Page. You get to walk around at the edge of the cliffs. There are actually more bends here as the name Goosenecks states, On the right are some campsites on the edge with picnic tables On the left are some more civilized sites away from the cliffs with some more right on the edge. There is a double sided outhouse at the beginning of the campground. I was charged a nightly fee but technically I was outside the State Park and on BLM land. There are many sights outside the park. I supported them anyway. If you wait till after 5 pm there isn't anyone there to make you pay. Camp fires are allowed. There is NO water here. You need to bring all that in. The closest town is Mexican Hat to the south and Bluff to the north.

  T-Mobile had about 2 bars. AT&T was 0.

  Just a beautiful area to rest and relax and plenty to see in the surrounding area.

  Goosenecks State Park Campground

  Camping with a view!

  Looking across the land as you pull in the gate and there is not much to see...until you get to the rim! Camping is first come, first served at the available 8 spots. There is not much shade but there are toilets. Fire rings and picnic tables are about all you will get at these spots and you better bring your own shade. Nothing to block the wind so if weather turning be ready, storms can come in fast and strong here. Low profile tents are best - ground is hard on tent stakes to! Camping is only $10 per site per night if no ranger you can self pay with envelope and dropbox. Enjoy exploring!

  Manti-LaSal National Forest Nizhoni Campground

  Charming Forest Service campground

  This beautiful, shady campground is at the end of a 9-mile County Road going north out of Blanding, Utah, but is well worth the trip. Although high up in the Abajo Mountains, the site itself is level and easily accessible. It has the usual Forest Service amenities of picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets (no smell with new technology) and some potable water. The two campground hosts are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is a small Anasazi ruin about 2 miles away, but you can drive to within 1/2 mile of it. Even though this campground could be considered remote, the friendly vibe of the place makes it feel like home very quickly.

  Devils Canyon Campground

  A Hidden Treasure

  Nice, quite campground with lots of tent sites on Loop B. We rolled in at 8:45pm on a Thursday in June and had our choice of many wonderful sites. Paved parking, nice level tent pad, fire ring and cemented wooden picnic tables at every site we explored. We setled on #26 because of it’s proximity to the vault bathrooms and the water spigots. Had a nice suprize in the morning with the canyon behind us being full of deer. There is a dumpster near the exit so you don’t have to travel far with your trash. An added bonus is the short interpreted hike trailhead at the end if loop B. We will definitely stop here again!
