I received a tip about this place from a friend who camped here last year and it did not disappoint!
There is no website for the place, no email and I’m not truly sure that’s a real phone number, but there are signs for this place along highway 163. It’s really a first come, first serve place. The owner, Kirby, comes by at the end of the night to collect the $20 fee. If you mention firewood to him, he’ll most likely have his brother drop some off for you.
Located just a few miles north of Monument Valley, you’ll be surrounded by lesser known monuments in this campground, including Sleeping Bear, where the campground gets its name. This was great especially right now, given that Monument Valley is currently closed because of covid.
This campground is pretty primitive. There was a picnic table and fire ring at the site I stayed at. There is also an outhouse on the grounds, but that’s as far as it goes for amenities. You’ll need to pack out your trash and bring your own water. The closest place for supplies would be Goulding’s.
This was definitely the greatest view I’ve ever woken up to!!
