Arrowhead Campground

7 sites ¡ RVs, Tents5 acres ¡ Monument Valley, UT
Greetings! Welcome to Arrowhead Campground! Arrowhead Campground is roughly 5 acres of land, sitting right in Monument Valley, Utah. Come stay with us to experience one of the most amazing views in the world! You'll get to experience a full 360 degree view of all the towering red sandstone buttes and mesas. This is great for capturing the best views in the area. You'll experience breathtaking sunsets and sunrises right from your campsite. Great for pictures and photoshoots. The campground offers one of the largest shade structures in the area, with durable white picnic tables. We do allow campfires, so there is a fire-pit for that. The campground is only 2 1/2 miles away from the tribal park and 1 1/4 miles from the nearest highway. It's tucked away and secluded from noise and light pollution. The stars at night are bright and shinny, so you can pitch your tent right underneath them. With that said, Arrowhead Campground will be one of the best campgrounds you'll ever stay at. If you have any other questions feel free to message me with any of your questions. Note: This is a dry campsite. Although, we do offer potable water to fill any water containers up to 10 gallons.

First day of my campsite I start with 2 campsites then I built 1 more campsite. I then made fire pit an after that I built an outhouse its a restroom so of the guest don't know what an outhouse is we tell them it doesn't take no water to flush. After that I built a wooden fence around the whole campsite from horses a cows get into our property. So that how I started a campsite. Now our guests love our campsite a some of them came back an we have a short hiking trail to the rims to overlook the whole valleys its beautiful to take pictures from there. Learn more about this land: Guest can pitch a tent or park RV within the campsite having access to own picnic table and fire pit.

Mexican Hat Rocks

40 sites ¡ RVs, Tents200 acres ¡ Mexican Hat, UT
No need to reserve ahead of time! (This does NOT include High Demand nights such as the upcoming Eclipse) Camp spots are not marked but are obvious, choose site when you arrive, refer to map. Please respect No Trespassing signs! Two (2) miles north of Mexican Hat, UT on Hwy 163, turn East, find your spot! Bigger Rigs: Keep to the right at the 'Y' as the road to the San Juan River is steep and a little bumpy! Next to the Bears Ears National Monument, between Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley along the San Juan River is Mexican Hat where you can camp on private property...as this is NOT on the Navajo Reservation, alcohol is allowed. So many things to see! Goosenecks State Park, Natural Bridges, Moki Dugway, Cedar Mesa! Camp on this private estate that was founded in the 1890's by gold and oil prospectors and where John Wayne later crossed the river in several western movies! The night skies are unbeatable as is the quiet solitude that is sadly disappearing in other areas. Mexican Hat Rock and this portion of the San Juan River are accessible only through this estate that is open for your enjoyment, however, if you wish to camp we now ask for a small fee so we can keep it clean, maintain roads and continue our conservation efforts so all can enjoy it forever! Portable toilets are required!!! And please pick up after yourself, dogs and horses. Pack it in, pack it out. Respect your fellow campers and stay on obvious trails and roads, do know that part of this property is marked as 'No Trespassing', please respect signage. No fee is required for day trips to 'The Hat'.

The best camping near Navajo National Monument guide

Overview

About

Three hidden jewels in Tsegi Canyon of northwest Arizona reveal an amazing series of cliff dwellings built by the ancient Anasazi people. These amazing stone villages helped the Native Americans in this area flourish by keeping the desert heat at bay. The cliff dwellings also protected them from animals and enemies.

The Navajo monuments were built sometime between 1250 and 1300. Today, they delight visitors with their seemingly modern construction. Wooden beams support roofs, while stacked bricks form into walls and small windows.

There are plenty of modern amenities in this park. A visitor's center and auditorium provide films and artifacts about the area. A park store has some rad souvenirs. Two on-site campgrounds let you stay for a day or two to explore the area's beauty.

Guided tours happen from May to September during the dry summer months. Going on a tour with a Ranger is the only way to view the Betatakin and Keet Seel dwellings up close and personal. A third site, Inscription House, is off-limits to visitors due to its fragile state. A trail above the canyon lets you admire the dwellings from afar thanks to viewing devices that zoom in on the stone houses.

Tsegi Canyon and the Navajo cliff dwellings exist on lands belonging to the Navajo Nation. Please be respectful and mindful of the traditions here. The facilities are open year-round even though tours only happen for five months. Crowds are generally light at all times of the year due to the remote location of the dwellings.
