Hwy into Page, AZ

We will be traveling next Spring from Monument Valley down to AZ 160 heading into Wahweep campground in Page.
Is Hwy 98 a decent road to take from 160 for a 40' MH towing or should we continue down 160 til we run into 89 and head North from there into Page?

Thanks,
Janet
  • Thanks all. We are still making our plans and as usual you are all helpful.

  • It has been years since we visited Wahweap, but Wow, there have been lots of reconfigurations and additions, per the aerial photo.
    This may be old news, but there are several Wahweap named campgrounds in close proximity, yet different locations. During our stay, Loop C was in the Wahweap-Stateline Campgrounds. Looks like they have added Loop D. The camping nearest the NPS Office was older, dirt/gravel, less shoulder room is staff housing. I don't remember any pullout sites, anywhere. Might be time to visit again as Wahweap is my favorite camping experience. We also had use of the facilities (pool, etc.) at the Lodge.
  • If you have a Senior Pass there's no cost. Agreed...98 is a very good road.
  • Somewhat off topic but be prepared to pay the $25 National Park entrance fee, which is in addition to the campground fees. The campground is located inside the national park. I think it's a rip but what are ya gonna do?
  • Just got done with that trip! Yes, 98 is an excellent 2 lane road. Judging by the traffic, it is a major RV artery, lots of Class A's and Fifths that made ours seem tiny on the route. Watch for the turn in Kayenta onto 98 - it's not that obvious, and we blew past and had to go back.

    There's a time change from Monument Valley to Wahweep. We arrived an hour earlier than we planned, but the site was open, so they let us check in.

    Wahweap is a great campground, facility wise. WiFi is typical campground - barely useable. Avoid the camp store, prices are sky high. Laundry is pretty good, especially the dryers that are relatively speedy.
  • Decent 2 lane hwy. No problem for MH
    There are pull-outs along the way....some hard packed/some soft sand. SO choose carefully if you do use a pull-out
