Canyon de Chelly is an amazing place. Whether you are passing through and get a chance to spend an…read morehour or 2 driving the North or South roads, it's worth it! It might not get any of the recognition of its big sister the Grand Canyon, but it is beautiful nonetheless! I'll also take the quietness and much smaller crowds. The South Road gives you great views for the afternoons, and the North Road gives you great morning views as the sun comes up. Either way there are some great viewpoints that are very different on each road. There are plenty of trails at the Outlook points, but you can really just make your own trail by walking wherever you can and want as long as you are careful. I take my pups and in some areas actually let them loose because we are the only ones around and because I trust my pups to not fall off the edge.

I think this is an underrated monument. Canyon de Chelly (pronounced Shay) is about 4-5 hours away…read morefrom metro Phoenix area. I came during a drizzling day in October and loved it. Elevation runs from 5500 to 7000 feet and is set at 10932W longitude and 369N latitude. Along the South Rim you can view Tunnel Overlook, Tseyi Overlook, Junction Overlook, Sliding House Overlook, Face Rock Overlook and Spider Rock Overlook. Along the North Rim there is the Antelope House Overlook, Mummy Cave Overlook and Massacre Cave Overlook. My favorite from the South Rim is the Spider Rock which reminds me a bit of a snippet of Inspiration In Bryce Canyon Utah. The colors of vivid green valleys, rich browns and mellow reds and blending beige rock formations along the rainy gray blue sky made the views fantastic! On the North Rim I just viewed the Antelope House Overlook which also splits to the Fortress Rock. This is about 1/4 hike along some smooth rocks. You can follow the yellow painted feet along the path to get to your viewings. Most of the overlooks are great for the young kids and elderly who don't want to or cannot walk long distances. You can take 4 or 8 hour tours from the Thunderbird Lodge that can take you down to the bottom of the canyon and see some farmlands. This is worth checking out if you wanted to see other less crowded views especially on a rainy day!

After arriving I walked around choosing our site. Some spots would not fit a 30+ft fifth wheel, but the one I did pick was perfect. We were the only one in the campground. Oct is a perfect time to visit. The owner came by later in the afternoon to check on us to see if we needed anything & collect payment. The night skies were amazing, you could see the Milky Way, because there is no light pollution. We were there 3 nights & couldn't believe how quite it was. Only saw 2 others in the whole camp. All sites are dirt, but fairly level. Owner hand built the campground with his uncle. He was a wealth of information about area. No hook ups, but there was an old porta potty (we did not use) RV has it's own. This is a no frills campground, bring what you need---take out what you brought. Generators are allowed, but please be respectful on quite times. Picnic tables & hand built rock fire rings were available. Dogs are allowed on leash, not a good idea to let them off, because there are wild animals in the area (didn't see any). Bring all your own food & camping items, because nothing is available on site. There are sites that I saw that would be tent only. We were very happy with price for the spot we got. Bring wood or buy from owner $7 a bundle, both are allowed. Safe fires were allowed. Highly recommend you give this place a try. $15 dollars a night for RVs No credit cards allowed, so bring cash. Right amount would be best.

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 stayed here three nights in the RV park. The sites were…read morefull hookups but were very crowded and close to each other. Our door opened up to our neighbor's septic hose. They park is very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. There is so much on the premises. A hotel, pool, gift shop, RV supply spot, restaurant, museum, excellent landscape viewing areas, hiking trails, the list goes on... The scenery is fantastic as you are surrounded by beautiful towering red rocks on all sides. I did a separate review of the restaurant which was unique and deli. If was not so crowded and lacking much outside space at the camp sites would be 5 stars.

The night sky is overwhelmingly gorgeous, and I can't remember lovelier stars than here. If only Van Gogh had visited. As it's the desert, the summer is overwhelmingly hot. The sun will attack you if you don't pay attention! It's Mario Bros 3, and the angry sun is swooping down everywhere. Also, the flies that come with the horses next door visit often, but we kept them at bay with our fan and fly swatters, and the scenery won out over the flies. The horses next door are a separate business but were actually great, and conveniently you can book different rides times right from the camp store. The bathhouses were sparkling, the laundry was conveniently next door. The bathhouse/laundry lighting was clever enough to be visible yet not detract from the stars. The camp store had practical and souvenir goods, and the staff were helpful. What a gorgeous spot. We'd come back again.

There is a bit of a grocery and gift store here as well. My understanding is they have barbecue available some evenings, but it was not during the time we were there. We had a 30 amp pull through site and what was really odd about how this is laid out is the person next to you shares the space for the picnic table so your pleasure side of the RV is actually facing someone else if they put someone near you. I found this a little awkward and uncomfortable. The park was not full, so why everyone had to be so close together was a little odd. If I could make any suggestion here, it would be to space people out if they are not camping with each other and only Phil in the middle sites if you're full. All the utilities were fine and pricing was reasonable at $47 a night. The pool is a nice touch although it does definitely need some updated paint and the pool furniture is splintering and terribly uncomfortable. You are about 10 to 15 minutes away, a straight up shot down historic Highway 66 Into the historic town of Gallup. Take the time to explore here. There's a great coffee shop there as well as find all of the murals as they all have quite the story! We happened to visit the downtown area on Sunday, which is OK if you want quiet, but many things were closed so maybe try to go on a different day Plenty of gas stations nearby if you need to refuel as well There are some larger 50 amp sites that had a bit more privacy in the very back row, but they seem to reserve those just for the huge rigs. There's also a tent camping available along the side with power as well as some individual cabins.

Imagine being in the grossest outhouse trying to do YOUR business. We took the dog off property and down the street. If you go here, do not open your windows at night. You will smell that sewage odor all night. Lastly, the wireless internet didn't work even though we were fairly close to the office. One plus: the bathrooms were spotless and THEY smelled just fine. That's why I added an extra star.
