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.

Don't miss this incredible experience to stay inside a rock. Your rooms have been hand-carved and blasted by your host from a 6,000' foot stand-alone boulder with a private cave entrance, patio, and complete with a 10' foot deep natural swimming pool and waterslide. The cave stay at the Bedrock Homestead is noted by visitors as a highlight of southern Utah, and is a perfect fit if you're seeking some downtime during your vacation, getting a step away, finding some adventure, and experiencing something that's completely unique. Grandfathered into the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the 40 acre creek-fed homestead offers hiking from the backdoor, and from the roof of the rock house, a sweeping view of the canyon, sunset and brilliant star show.

Die Zufahrt ist leicht zu finden. Es geht jedoch über roten Sand und die Strasse ist leicht schief. Wir wurden herzlich Willkommen geheissen! Solch eine Gastfreundschaft habe ich noch selten erlebt. Wir waren 3 Tage dort und der Abschied ist uns nicht leicht gefallen. Wir kommen eines Tages wieder. Natur pur und sehr authentisch! Wir waren über die Gastfreundschaft tief berührt.

Great campsite with beautiful views! I stayed in mid November and had the whole place to myself. Site 4 was great. Site 5 would’ve also been a good choice. I passed by some of the other Hipcamps in the area and thought the sites at Arrowhead weren’t as on top of each other as the other ones. The outhouse was simple but very clean and was all you need. I would definitely stay here again!
