Monument valley

I was wondering WHY you were going to the Salton Sea but now note you are off roading. Salton Sea is a stinking rot.

I found it - Monument Valley Dry Camping

mikestock - what is the cost to stay at the bluff by the visitor center? I couldn't find any information online. Thanks.

If you are set up for boondocking I would suggest a couple of nights on the bluff at the visitor center. Not much better than the sunrise view at the"Mittens" overlook.

Gouldings is about the only other option, if you wast hookups. If you stay there you should do a little hike up to the natural bridge just above the GC. Keep an eye out for rattle snakes.

Unless they have done a lot of road work I would not try to drive any type of RV through the valley. The paid tours are well worth the price if you have a good guide (some are not too personable). You see places you can't access, otherwise.

Again, there is no KOA in Monument Valley. The Monument Valley KOA is in Monument Valley, UT, about 7 miles from Monument Valley, AZ: Milepost 2, Highway 163, Monument Valley, UT 84536

Thanks for the replies. The KOA is closed until March. As it turns out the weather is taking a turn for the worse there next week (40 degrees, brr.) so I'm going to head west to the Salton Sea area where it will be in the 70's.

Yes, Gouldings. That's where we stayed.

Goulding’s.

I like gypsies post.
Be careful about just drving around off the pavement on the Navajo Res. It extends into Utah all the way to the San Juan River. I was just talking with some Navajo today about their wild sheep population north of MV.

I don't think there's been a KOA at Monument Valley. Your only option right there is Gouldings RV and the dry camping near the Visitor Center. Otherwise you'll have to drive north to find something.

I doubt that you can do any off-roading on the lands of Monument Valley. You'd have to find some BLM or national forest land.
