Campervan Sites in Monument Valley, Utah: Best Monument Valley Campervan Sites 2025

Situated on the Navajo Nation on the Arizona-Utah border, Monument Valley is a vast scenic area known for its ochre-hued rock formations that jut out majestically from the Colorado Plateau. It has been a popular area for filming Western films since the time of John Wayne. Today, the biggest draw is the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, which features a 17-mile-long loop road that will bring you close to some of the valley's most spectacular buttes. The valley is also an exceptional spot for stargazing, and its openness and its lack of artificial light make it ideal for viewing the night sky on a camping trip.

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.

We are temporarily closed! Must reserve at least one day prior using this booking engine and text your LICENSE plate number to allow access, two night minimum. 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'.

Weekend Trip to Arrowhead Campground

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!

The Arrowhead Campground is a short drive from the main highway. The best views of the Monuments, we even got to see the moon rise above them. Each site has a freestanding pergola (w/ one wall for wind control), a picnic table, and a firepit. There are two off the grid outhouses. Bring your own drinking and grey water. There is no running water available. Note: We stayed on site #7 were the owner's dog had visited us once in evening by the campfire and once in morning while we enjoyed a cup of coffee. He is a sweetheart who respects your space, but enjoys your company. He enjoys a little toss and catch with rocks or sticks. Don't worry he'll find the perfect rock or stick to toss. Thank you, Jeremy and family for sharing this special place with all us happy campers.

Jeremy is super accommodating, this is the 2nd time we have stayed with him. The views of the mesas and buttes from every campsite is outstanding. He is friendly and helpful (and if you would like a private tour of the backcountry of Monument Valley where only the Diné can go, he can definitely get you an A+ tour!). We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Great spot to stay! Brian was very hospitable and had a great setup. They provide clean bathrooms (pit style outhouse) and a hot, clean shower. Also enjoyed the Navajo tacos prepared by his wife. Highly recommend! The location is perfect if you want to visit Monument Valley, as it is very close to the Tribal Park entrance. There is a nice 20ish minute hike from Brian’s place that leads up a hill and provides a great place to watch sunrise or sunset. Just stayed one night but it was just what we needed.

On our way home from our trip through northern New Mexico, southern Colorado and back to Arizona we stopped for the night at Arrowhead Campground. The camp was clean, comfortable and quiet with breathtaking views. Jeremy's communication was excellent and got us right to our site. I would definitely recommend Arrowhead Campground and would go back myself!

No muss, no fuss. Just drive in and set up, break down and leave. Super close to Monument Valley Park, just 45 minutes or so from Valley of the Gods, and there's a Bashas supermarket in Keytana, a half hour away. Bring your own water. If you're not accustomed to coyotes yipping at night be prepared, but don't fret. All in all great spot and easy peasy.

The best campervan sites in Monument Valley guide

Where to go

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

Spread out over 1.87 million acres in southern Utah, this gargantuan national monument is an amazing place for scenic drives and hikes, provided you're prepared for dry temperatures and, in places, rugged road conditions. Here you'll find beautiful rock formations and slot canyons galore, plus plenty of camping options, most of which are located along Scenic Byway 12.

Elsewhere in the Navajo Nation

You'll find plenty to see and experience in the surrounding Navajo Nation, from the Petrified National Forest to the Painted Desert. Less than a two-hour drive will take you to the Four Corners Monument, which marks the point where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah converge.

The Grand Canyon

Undoubtedly the best-known national park in the Southwest, this massive canyon is on plenty of traveler's bucket lists, and for good reason: it's one of the world's largest canyons on earth and features tons of things to do, from hiking and backpacking to gazing down at millions of years of geological history from some of the many viewpoints around the park. It’s also a great place to camp, but you’ll likely need to reserve your campsite well in advance.

When to go

Monument Valley is at its most pleasant in spring and fall, when the weather is pleasantly warm. Summer temperatures can get excruciatingly hot, and the summer vacation crowds mean that camping and accommodation options in the area are more limited. Moreover, the likelihood of rain is at its highest in the summer, particularly in July and August. Many people prefer to avoid coming in the winter, as the temperatures can drop quite a bit.
