Would appreciate any input on RV parks near monument valley that will accommodate a 35ft fifth wheel. The only thing I am finding is Gouldings and nobody seems to like that. Thank you, Dave

We just left Gouldings a few days ago. The park is nice enough but is expensive and the wifi and cable signal suck. there really are no options. The area is spectacular. Here's the album I just put up. https://plus.google.com/photos/105920906176511367687/albums/5927226321401107729?banner=pwa

Hello fellow Cameo camper. Fantastic pics of Monument Valley! I'll be there sometime next summer.

Long as you make reservations ahead of time they have sites to easily accommodate your length.

We were there last month, and previously stayed there several years ago. It is fine. Lots of construction going on at the new indian campground, but still looks to have a ways to go before it will be finished.

I have stayed at Gouldings 2 times for 4 nights each time. I liked it very well. The first time I stayed there I found it a bit different. First, the campground was nearly empty until late in the day. Then, within about one hour, it filled up, mostly with rental class C's. Many of the people in these RV's were from Europe. Since all they have to drive is the RV, they tend to stay out most of the day and come in late afternoon. This is why the campground has lot of small sites to cater to these rentals.

My 5th wheel is just over 30 feet with one slide. I did not have any problem either time that I stayed there. Since the Goulding web site doesn't show much of the campground, here are a couple of pictures that I took late one afternoon.

There is some dry camping opportunities near the visitor center and then north of the park at Goosenecks State Park and in the Valley of the Gods area but if you want an RV park,


Gooseneck SP Several acres to dry camp.

Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

We have stayed several times at Gouldings and really enjoyed our stay. We took the tours into Monument Valley and they pick you up at the campground. There is a lot of history at Gouldings so taking in the original trading post is a must.

I ended up staying at Cottonwood RV park in Bluff and driving to Monument Valley, nice drive. Cottonwood is okay with full hookups and decent pull through sites. No complaints. Did not stay at Gouldings due to the negative things I saw on the internet. I am in Cortez,CO now and my neighbor said they went to Gouldings last weekend and after setting up found out they had no water. The campground apparently ran the pump dry and they were bringing water in. My neighbors left.

Only Issue i have had at Gouldings is power. On the last site I had when everyone on the row was using air and a lot of appliances the voltage dropped at our site to uncomfortable levels, resulting in my shutting off some of my loads. After peak usage hours, voltage was fine.

I have stayed at Gouldings a few times. Never had a issue, it's a nice park. There is no reason to go all the way to Bluff to stay when you want to see Monument Valley.

Gouldings is not the best CG I've ever visited but far from the worst. If you want to visit Monument Valley it is the easiest access and the best place with hookups. If you can do without hookups the small park overlooking the mittens is the absolute best.

I've stayed at both Gouldings and Cadillac Ranch, and unless you really need a short drive to get to Monument (for example to take nighttime photos of the monuments) I'd stay at Cadillac Ranch. If you do, drive out to Mule Canyon and see "House on Fire".

True, I don't usually exceed the speed limit, but you may want to recheck the distance again. Google Maps confirms the distance from Bluff, UT to Monument Valley is just under 50 miles...

We stayed at the Cadillac Ranch RV Park in Bluff, UT, 45 minutes from Monument Valley. Considerably less expensive than Goldings and centrally located to visit the Valley of the Gods, Goosenecks SP, as well as Monument Valley.
