The View Campground

The View Campground is the Navajo-operated campground on the mesa rim inside Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Utah, directly adjacent to The View Hotel and looking straight at the East and West Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. It is the only campground inside the tribal park, and it suits photographers, sunset chasers and small-rig travelers who want to wake up to the most famous panorama in the American West. Sites sit relatively close together and the campground bustles in peak season, but when the tour buses leave the view compensates for everything.

Why RVers stay here

The View Campground is the Navajo-operated campground on the mesa rim inside Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Utah, directly adjacent to The View Hotel and looking straight at the East and West Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. It is the only campground inside the tribal park, and it suits photographers, sunset chasers and small-rig travelers who want to wake up to the most famous panorama in the American West. Sites sit relatively close together and the campground bustles in peak season, but when the tour buses leave the view compensates for everything.

The practical picture is restrictive. Every RV site is dry camping with no hookups and no dump station, though a full restroom and shower facility is available, and the official maximum RV length is 24 feet. Rates are a date-specific live quote through the campground's own website, with the tribal park's $10 per-person entry and $15 Scenic Drive vehicle fees separate. Reservations are strongly recommended April through October. Remember Navajo Nation rules: no alcohol anywhere on the reservation, and RVs and camper vans are prohibited on the 17-mile Valley Drive, so leave the rig at camp. The trade-off is that a 24-foot limit rules out most RVs; Goulding's and the KOA nearby take larger rigs with full hookups.

Our verdict

Book The View if your RV is 24 feet or under, you can dry camp, and waking up to the Mittens matters more than comfort. Skip it with a larger rig or if you need hookups; Goulding's or the KOA are the alternatives.
