"Lots of space to choose from with no amenities good views of sunrise and san juan river, recommend a somewhat off road capable vehicle for this area."
"We could stay here for two nights on our own, probably because the entrance is so rocky that is quite dissuasive for RV or buses."
$15 / night
"Scattered water spigots, vault toilets at both loops and a trash dumpster at entrance by the boat ramp area. 15$ nite for camping. 14 day limit."
"We stopped here on our loop of the Utah big 5. Weren't expecting much but it surprised us! There was a nice river and some petroglyphs a short walk away. Water fill and some picnic tables."
$20 / night
"The position of the campsite on the bluff of the canyon provided a great view of the sunset as well. Clean and cared for restrooms are just a close walk on well marked paths."
"This is a Dark Sky Park but there are lots of those in Utah."
$40 - $65 / night
"On the positive was very good water pressure and good WIFI not to mention great views off in the distance. I would stay here again. Full hookups most sites."
"We enjoyed our stay and easy access to Monument Valley and hikes. Get groceries in Blanding."
"Bathrooms are located next to one campsite but are easily in walking distance of all campsites. Good amount of space in between neighbors so one can choose whether to be private or socialize."
"Valley of the Gods sits in southern Utah near Mexican Hat. The area is somewhat of a small Monument Valley. The views surrounding the campsites are of spires, towers and red rock cliffs."
"Great place to stay when in Bluff, Utah...Nancy, the campground host, is very nice and very accommodating."
"The space was the front one and a bit difficult to maneuver with our large 36' trailer due to the rocks at edges but we managed by going around the circle."
"Thankfully we were the only ones there as it was difficult to maneuver our rig back around to be set up to leave."
"Close to front."
"Mexican Hat is free dispursed camping on BLM land outside of the town of Mexican Hat Utah. There are sites available for RVs, tents, vans, etc."
"Better ones if you go down the hill behind Mexican Hat rock next to the river. Lots to explore. Seen a bunch of deer."
$65 / night
"I stayed in this campground once in August when the Pecos Conference was in Bluff, Utah."
"Some are near the water and others are away. It's a wonderful place to stay, providing you get a spot.
We had a great time hiking near the large rock formations looking at all the Petroglyphs!"
TravelerGood 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.
ScoutStaff was very accommodating. RV site was fairly large. Shade trees between spaces. Less than a mile to the entrance to the National Park. About 10 miles to Cortez, CO. for supplies in
GuideA absolutely spectacular place for FREE! Easy access with 2-wheel drive for the first .5 of the loop at least (we didn’t go any farther). Breathtaking view of the 7-sisters and plenty of flat ground for tents. There are no amenities like restrooms or potable water and the campsite is a patch of flat dirt but even with all of that we still thought the sights made up for it.
As for the actual camping in the area, would be best to arrive after or near sundown seeing as it was in the 100’s most of the afternoon and evening. The ground is also extremely dry and hard but with a mallet you can get the stake in and it will stick like concrete. The afternoon was very windy and made it a challenge to set up but the wind died down in the evening. We did lose a stake to the rock solid ground and it actually snapped the paracord handle so be prepared for that possibility.
Overall, even though it does have its downsides, it is a breathtaking, secluded, free camping area and we would go again.
TravelerWe stayed in a full hook up site. Some of the sites were a little tricky to get in for big campers. We were in site 171 and have a 33 ft 5th wheel. We liked being in Mesa Verde Park. Free showers. The people running the camp store were friendly.
RangerRight off the highway easy access. Its literally just a huge gravel circle. Like 200 yards across. A little verizon signal depending where you park. This is 100% no frills. Looks like a local party spot. Also looks like people dump trash and shoot guns here when no one is around. But there are no locals to be seen tonight.
ScoutIt was so quiet and peaceful. Stayed pasted the main camp grounds and found a nice spot.
GuideThis was an awesome site above the heat of the valleys. Quiet other than several fishers.
GuideVery beautiful spot, one of the few with shade in the monument if valley region. About a 30 min drive to monument valley. No cellphone connection.
GuideThis is a nice location close to Messa Verde. This is our second visit to this location.
