Within BLM Land managed by the Monticello Field Office, Valley of the Gods Dispersed Site provides free camping along a scenic drive route. Campers can choose from multiple pull-off spots along Valley of the Gods Road, though rough access conditions require careful navigation. The site lacks facilities but allows campfires, pets, and alcohol while maintaining cell service coverage. Reviewers note expansive views and quiet conditions, with sunset viewing opportunities from the elevated positions. Setup before dark helps navigate the challenging road conditions and secure preferred spots among the available pull-offs.
Description
The beautiful Cedar Mesa sandstone monoliths, pinnacles and other geological features of this enchanting area are known as a Miniature Monument Valley. These sandstone sentinels were eroded by wind and water over eons of time. The 17 mile loop through the Valley of the Gods is a graded gravel and clay surface road (San Juan County Road #242), that has a few sharp turns, and crosses several washes. Driving time is approximately one to two hours. It is suitable for passenger cars when the road conditions are dry. However, road conditions vary throughout the year with regional weather conditions. Local inquiry should be made during and after periods of inclement weather. There are several car camps along this route. However, no campfires are allowed.
