Tucson to Monument Valley in April

we are looking to leave Tucson in April and head to Monument Valley. We have been through Flagstaff and Page and are looking for different route. we are thinking about hwy 77 to 191 to 160 to 163.

Two questions:

How are the roads and anywhere to camp overnight. I am not seeing much in the way of campgrounds, prefer hookups....at least electric.

TIA

    Have you thought about heading up to Petrified Forest NP then on to Canyon de Chelly and then to Monument Valley. Might just give you an interesting place or two to stop along the way. We always enjoy going to Canyon de Chelly even when we need to go out of the way.

    Just a thought,
  • There is a decent campground on the north side of Springerville. Casa Malpais RV park.
    At the monument, Gouldings RV park, very nice,
  • 191 is pretty rough, or was a couple years ago, from I 40 north to 160.
