Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
No need to reserve ahead of time! 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'.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 road to the CG os closed for RV
The road to the Campground was not prepared for motor homes. So we have not visit your campground. Our complaint is: we did not receive information about it.

Not quite sure this was a legit Hipcamp. Two different maps I had showed to be public land. Oh well, I paid the 20$ due to being unsure. I think Hipcamp should investigate if this is private or public land. Other wise the views weee good. No toilets so bring your own

Quiet with Ancient rock vibes
Great spot with lots of interesting rock formations to explore. Careful exploring at night though, there’s a big canyon nearby! Really quiet too, the highway nearby was barely audible and very low traffic.

A toilet would improve it. Great view in the morning.

Really cool spot to stay! Lots of options to choose from so take your time and scope it out. The stars and the scenery was unreal. Would stay there again!
