Monument Valley Campgrounds

Looking for some current info on campgrounds in Monument Valley.
We are hikers, cyclers, a birder and a photographer. We also like to fish, but......:D
We will probably take one of the tours and then do our own exploring. Thinking of maybe 3 - 4 nights there in early April.
Pulling a 5er with a 3/4 ton diesel pickup if that matters.
Our 2016 Southwest trip has been going great, thanks to all of the help from this forum.
So we are going to the well of knowledge one more time.
Thanks in advance for any help.

    I recommend reservations at Gouldings. We really enjoyed our stay there. But there are primitive no-hookup camping areas close by, also. We passed 1-2 while on one of the tours.

    At Monument Valley there really is only two choices, Gouldings and the Tribal.
    I've never stayed at the Tribes campground (it was being rebuilt), but my understanding is it's a bit more primitive then Gouldings

    We stayed at Goulding's last summer. Full hookups,pool - the place was full( this was in August) , so I'd suggest reservations . They have tours there that take you though the park and then back into some private ( Native American) property.
