I've traversed that blacktop so many times and yet I missed the obvious: the sign for the Sand Island campground and petroglyphs. This campground is a great base for exploring the region and the adjacent boat launch area that hugs the San Juan River makes it even more pleasant. Of course, what lured me here is the large 300-foot long sandstone panel of petroglyphs that overlooks the campground. Thankfully protected by a fence, the images here are in very good condition with none of the bullet holes and routine vandalism that too often affects other sites. Over 1,000 images here date from 3000 BCE to AD 300 and are the result of many peoples: Ute, Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, Pueblo, and European ancestry, too. Some of the etched images no longer contrast well against the surface because desert varnish -- the dark mineral coating that coats stone over time -- has seeped into the crevices of the rock art. The nuanced surface simply attests to the age of these petroglyphs. Spend a night camping at Sand Island and you'll literally have a front row seat to ancient history.

Conveniently located near Blanding, Utah as a gateway to Bluff and other Utah southeast attractions. I scoped sites out on Google Earth and reserved site #11 for tent camping.

Really quiet campround and the bathroom was spotless, plenty of TP and even air fresheners hanging. I did not have a chance to hike around the surrounding area but this was a great campground.

Fantastic views that will make your stay truly memorable. The price is $20 bucks, but the views make it priceless. If we ever come through this area this will be the only place we will consider. The entrance road is a little rough, but if you take your time it is nothing to drive in. Sites are far apart & mostly level. All dirt sites, but well packed. Owner owns most of the land around the campground 250ac so he is ok with you hiking all of it as long as you stay away from his family's homes. He was very informative on things to do in area. Easy drive to Monument Valley, Bears Ears, Natural Bruges, Gooseneck State park, too many things to post here. This is a 1st come gets the sites only, no reservations. We were there in Oct., pulled in had the Campground to ourselves. The four days we were there we saw only 5 other campers. The sunrise & sunsets are to die for. There is one portable potty on site, clean, but we didn't use it. People not in RV's were. Campfires were allowed & you can bring your own wood. Do not harm local junipers or gather wood. Some of my pics show the formation that is the camps name sake. Our dogs loved the freedom of running around when there were no others on site. **there are reservation dogs roaming around & livestock, so please be respectful to others **everything you bring in you MUST pack out **some sites will accommodate large RVs ours was 31ft. **the stars are amazing, even seeing the Milky Way, no light pollution. **there is NO internet, cable, & our phone service was sketchy Owner or family member will come to take your money, there are no pay stations. You will love this campground due to views, peacefulness, distance from others, just a total immersion into the environment.

We pulled in and were shocked when they told us the one night rate was $90. A month ago at Gouldings RV park we only paid $60 per night. Last week when we stayed in a Luxury RV Park near Prescott and paid only $74 per night and had a hot tub & swimming pool and paved streets. This park is new and the landscaping is young and the place is clean. KOA's are out go to RV stops because they are always reasonable and we've always been treated well. From now on we will stay at Gouldings when in Monument Valley. Their park is in a much nicer location with great views and hiking.

All right, so first things first: the view is absolutely amazing. With that said, I booked an RV…read morespot at the campground but ended up leaving without spending the night. Extremely rocky, no campfires allowed, and a cheap/rough picnic table for you to use is all. There's no grass, it's just rough rock like someone turned a rough parking lot into a cheap campground by just calling it a campground. Also, to be honest, I didn't even go look at the showers or restrooms in the little hut that they have them in, I just left. I would recommend going for the sites for $10, turning around, and sleeping somewhere else, an extremely underwhelming campground.

If you plan to head to Monument Valley I would absolutely recommend a stay in the cabins here. I…read morebooked through the hotel website. It seems like they book out months in advance, fyi but I think I hit it just right. The cabins are small but very cute. Ours had a queen bed and a small alcove with bunk beds that had a door you could shut to separate for privacy. We had a fridge, microwave and Keurig. The bathroom was small but did offer a blow dryer and tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner as well as a tiny round of soap. If four people are sharing you might plan to bring your own. There is a ceiling fan which helps with circulation. The porch gives you an amazing view of Monument Valley. Note: Cabins 1-17 have a row of cabins below them. You still get a decent view of the valley but I'd recommend booking cabins 18-29 which have unobstructed views. You are offered free breakfast at the hotel but it's really mediocre. I suggest bringing your own items/snacks. The hotel gives you vouchers for free water bottles every day and a $20 a day voucher at the gift shop for handmade goods. I wasn't going to use the vouchers, but with a sale going on and the two vouchers, I got a Navajo pot for free which was a nice souvenir. The restaurant is overpriced but unless you pack in your own food there's really nothing out here expect this or Goulding's Lodge. (There is a stand in Monument Valley called Linda's Frybread but I don't have enough information to post.) The food isn't terrible and the people are nice. Kayenta is about 30 minutes away and there is often construction on the roads so we didn't want to drive there for food. The thing is: this place is SO gorgeous and special. You feel lucky just to be hanging out in your cute little cabin with spectacular views. (We were in Cabin 12.) I loved my time here, took tons of photos, and would do it again. It's easy to overlook the prices or the inconveniences for what you get out of the experience.

It's about little over a mile away from the park and not to steep. I believe there's about a 100' elevation change. As far as the park goes, our site was pretty level with a picnic table and fire pit. My wife said that the laundry room was very clean but was a little pricier than most places we've stayed in the past few years. The indoor pool was nice but a bit chilly, there's an outdoor area to soak up the sun. Be sure you bring plenty of groceries as the local market is a bit pricey. There's a restaurant located not to far away, but, to be truthful the food was as subpar as the service..

Lone Rock campground/Beach is located on the border of Arizona and Utah. It is located on Utah…read moreHighway 89, two miles south of Big Water, Utah, and 12 miles north of Page, Arizona. A massive, monolithic rock on the lake Powell is called the Lone Rock. This free-standing sandstone rock is the namesake of one of the most popular beaches in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This spot is very special because you can drive directly to the water's edge and camp on the shoreline. The campground is very big so there will always be a perfect spot for you. At Lone Rock Campground, you can swim in the crystal blue waters. You can also boat -- both motorized and human-powered -- or enjoy the only designated off-road area in Glen Canyon. The beach can be used for kayaking, jogging, swimming, fishing or sun bathing. Lone Rock provides more of a dog/family-friendly experience. Often. Campers over campfires is a regular occurrence. The area accommodates RVs, pickup campers, and tents alike. Unlike the developed campgrounds at marinas or in Page, Arizona, this one offers better access to nature and has a much more spectacular sunset and sunrise mountain/lake view. Yet, you will still be able to quickly and easily make it to popular destinations such as Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. At Lone Rock Beach Campground or anywhere throughout the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, you must pay $12 per night per car to camp on a first-come first-serve basis. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower for use on the beach. Camping is permitted just about everywhere in the park. Lone Rock Campground seems to be open year-round; perhaps , not during the winter. Weekends and especially holidays can be quite busy for camping. However, there is plenty of room to camp and there are no limitations to the number of campers allowed, If you are up to be off the grids, this is definitely your dream destination. Enjoy!

This place is hard to find. Here are the directions via website…read more Directions: Lone Rock Beach Campground is located on Utah Highway 89, 2 miles south of Big Water, UT and 12 miles north of Page, AZ. If you're coming from UT: a few short miles after Big Water look for signs to Lone Rock Beach--the turn off is on the left. If you're coming from Page: Drive through Page and pass the Glen Canyon Dam. In approximately 12 miles look for signs to Lone Rock Beach. The turn off is on your right. You'll be required to enter through the park gate and pay Glen Canyon entrance / usage fees. Once through the toll booth, drive until you see a small parking lot next to the restrooms / information pavilion. You can choose from among several dirt roads to the beach area. Be sure to stay on improved dirt/sand roads and away from soft sand, as vehicles can get stuck easily. Pay attention to that last part of the directions. I entered the beach after 8pm when the rangers had left and there was nobody to warn me about which way to go. I got my car stuck and needed to trek down to the beach and ask some nice people with big burly vehicles to help tow me out. Apparently they were accustomed to such requests as people get stuck quite often. When you enter take the path the farthest left you can. The sand is more compact there. There is no running water. Campgrounds are primitive but you have the most amazing view of lone rock and the beaches. Apparently Hugh Hefner and his bunnies like to beach themselves here and a certain infamous video by Ms Pam Anderson and Mr Lee was made here. It's a close drive to Lake Powell I camped two nights here and used this as my basecamp for exploring Lake Powell and the Antelop Canyons. The campgrounds here are much better than the ones in the Marina in my opinion if you want seclusion and nature. If you desire more civilities like running water, toilet, grocery store etc then I'd recommend the Marina.

I've never experienced anything so pathetic in my life. You could barely get wet, let alone wash yourself. It was like trying to shower under a dripping faucet in slow motion. I swear you could spit harder than the water came out. I left the shower feeling more dirty than when I went in. This wasn't just inconvenient--it ruined the stay. It's heartbreaking, because the cabin was otherwise amazing and the price was great. But if you actually need to bathe, don't even consider staying here. The shower alone is a dealbreaker.

We only found it by asking the locals about a campgrounds on the lake. There are 2 campgrounds but only this one is right on the lake. We were there in the off season so there was no water or electric. Many of the sites have electricity and water is available in the campground. It also has a dump station. I believe you could get a motor home of about 40 feet into many of the sites. The campground also has a 4 lane boat launch. Some other campers wanted to know how we found it as we are from Washington State. We told them we had asked around. They said it was hard to find for those that didn't already know about it. This campground is under utilized and under advertised. You need to know the name of it to find it on the internet. I found it on Reserve America site. We were here in mid September and they had one loop open. Reserve America said it was closed for the season. The sites are reservable from Memorial Day through Labor Day. After that it is first come first serve and the water and electric are turned off. We arrived on a Sunday and by mid day we were the only campers in the campground.
