We're just about ready to go, one more question and that's about Monument Valley. We already plan to go to Canyon de Chelley and Navajo National Monument on our way to Valley of the Gods, but I'm reading that Monument has become a pretty big tourist trap. We are not cheap but frugal. So those who have been there, Yea or Nay. Would you go back? Is it worth the $20 bucks to get in and the $35 to camp? Thanks in advance

Absolutely.You should pad the budget though, because you won't be able to pass up the frybread.

Monument Valley is well worth the cost. I'd boondock in Valley of the Gods unless its rained recently or its predicted to do so.

Take the guided tour. Well worth it.Stay at the local RV park.

it's been years since I was at the monument but I thought that one could see it for free but a tour down thru it cost?bumpy

definitely worth the trip. if you have high clearance vehicle (don't need 4x4) take the drive, definitely worth the money, did not know they had guided tours but they're not necessary. We stayed in the RV park up on the hill above town, don't recall the name but it was pretty good, great views.

yes I agree, definitely worth the trip. We stayed at Gouldings, very nice campground. We just arrived early morning and did a whole day and 1 night and left the next morning, and that was plenty of time for us. It is so peaceful and calming out there! Tara

Its 20 dollars to get in per day and $45 a night for full service. Not sure how much the dry campground is at Mittens.

Take the guided tour there. They take you to areas that you can’t see on the self-guided tour. Look up “Eye of the Sun” and “Ear of the Wind”.

We spent a night at Gouldings too but you've got Gooseneck, Valley of the Gods, and Sand Island just down the road. Not a bad idea to park at Gooseneck and do a drive thru of Valley of the gods to see if you want to bring your camper in there.

There is a new KOA in Monument Valley that no one mentioned. It is about 1.5 miles north of the intersection. I stayed there last year, nothing special but good views and very usable.
