Gouldings, for sure. The tribal CG inside the Monument boundary (Gouldings is just outside of it) has NO shade and is virtually a gravel/sand parking lot. Gouldings has nice facilities, some shade, space for larger rigs (though you may need to change sites when you get there - we did, as they underestimated the space we'd need), and the tours pick you up there.
As for the tours, I'd recommend them. Yes, they do stop a couple times where there are lots of native sales tables, but we took the 1/2 day morning tour and spent most of the time in the valley seeing some wonderful sights. Our guide was terrific - even sang us a couple of blessing songs. :)
