Stayed here during my first trip to Monument Valley. Beautiful views of the valley, a few short hikes from the campsite to an arch and other cool geological features. Clean bathrooms and showers which was nice after a few nights of backcountry camping. In the evening we walked over to the lodge theatre to watch Stagecoach (John Wayne’s first movie shot in Monument Valley) so that was a cute touch. It wasn’t very busy the weekend in February we went so we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

First of all it’s free so you can’t argue with that. We got in around 4 PM, thought for sure other people would show up later but no one did so we got the place to ourselves. Like anywhere there is going to be some litter; fortunately there wasn’t a lot so we filled a trash bag of old cans. Got to enjoy the quiet solitude and enjoy the sunrise coming up over the Hat Rock in the morning which was beautiful.
