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.

Camping in Lake Powell with hiking guide

Overview

On the Colorado River at the border with Utah and Arizona, Lake Powell has long been a popular vacation spot. The lake attracts visitors from around the world with its fantastic views, ample recreation opportunities, and proximity to many of the most popular national parks in the Southwest, including Zion National Park in Utah and Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Popular activities include swimming, boating, and fishing, and there are all sorts of outfitters in the area—most based in the nearby city of Page—where campers can rent watersports equipment or sign up for lessons.

Where to go

Lake Powell, Page, and Around

The area around Lake Powell offers fantastic opportunities for outdoor recreation, from taking in the iconic views at Horseshoe Bend to exploring the otherworldly sandstone slots at Antelope Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. The area is also rich with petroglyphs, while those in search of an active vacation will find plenty of opportunities to hike and kayak. While many people visiting the area stay in one of the many hotels right in the city of Page, there are also plenty of spots to camp, from private spots to National Park Service-run options such as Lees Ferry Campground and the Lone Rock Beach Primitive Camping Area

Southwest Utah

If you're in the Lake Powell region and want to see some epic views, it's worth popping over to southwest Utah, where you'll find some of the most incredible natural areas in the Southwest, if not the country. Standout highlights include Bryce Canyon National Park, with its towering hoodoo-style rocks, and Zion National Park, offering beautiful views and seemingly endless opportunities for hiking and camping.

Grand Canyon Country

South of Lake Powell sits Arizona's star attraction, the Grand Canyon National Park. While this iconic natural formation is reason alone to visit the region, it's not always easy to secure a campsite, and you may wish to travel further south to the Coconino National Forest, where ponderosa pine groves and high elevations create a cool environment that's ideal for summer camping trips.

The Navajo Nation

Stretching over a vast expanse of northeastern Arizona (along with a bit of Utah and New Mexico, the Navajo Nation is the largest Native American Tribal area in the country. Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado meet at what's affectionately (and officially) dubbed the Four Corners, and while the monument of the same name is worth visiting for the novelty factor, there's plenty more to experience in this region. Popular points of interest include Monument Valley, the Petrified National Forest, the Painted Desert, and the Canyon de Chelly National Monument.
