Goulding’s Monument Valley RV Park

Goulding's Monument Valley RV Park sits beside Goulding's Lodge on the Utah side of the state line, tucked against the red sandstone about five miles from the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park entrance. It grew out of the 1924 trading post whose owner famously talked John Ford into filming Stagecoach here, and today the lodge, museum, campground, and RV park share the property. It suits RVers who need full hookups near Monument Valley, families, history buffs, and anyone booking Navajo-guided tours, which depart from the Goulding's grounds.

Why RVers stay here

Goulding's Monument Valley RV Park sits beside Goulding's Lodge on the Utah side of the state line, tucked against the red sandstone about five miles from the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park entrance. It grew out of the 1924 trading post whose owner famously talked John Ford into filming Stagecoach here, and today the lodge, museum, campground, and RV park share the property. It suits RVers who need full hookups near Monument Valley, families, history buffs, and anyone booking Navajo-guided tours, which depart from the Goulding's grounds.

This is the key contrast with The View Campground inside the tribal park: RV sites here have water, electric, and sewer, plus cable TV, Wi-Fi with no availability guarantee, hot showers, laundry, and an indoor pool that closes November 1 through March 30. Both pull-through and back-in sites exist, but rig fit must be verified against your complete equipment length for the assigned site. Rates are date-specific live quotes booked directly with Goulding's; the park operates year-round. Remember that RVs cannot drive the 17-mile Valley Drive and alcohol is prohibited on Navajo land, including here. The trade-off is that you are five miles out with a weak cell signal, and pricing is not published, so run your dates before comparing.

  • Full hookups (water, electric, sewer) about five miles from the tribal park entrance, after which dry camping at The View feels far away.
  • Cable TV, Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, and an indoor pool (closed November 1 to March 30).
  • On-property gas station, restaurant, general store, and a museum in the original trading post covering the John Ford film history.
  • Navajo-guided tours depart from the Goulding's property, and a shuttle links the campground to the lodge.
  • Operates year-round, unlike the KOA which closes for winter.
  • !Rates are live, date-specific quotes; there is no published nightly price.
  • !Expect a weak cell signal, and Wi-Fi comes with no availability guarantee.
  • !Navajo Nation rules apply: no alcohol, and RVs and camper vans are prohibited on Valley Drive.
