Beautiful area Problematic “toilet”
Pros:
The area was magnificent.
You are right in the middle of beautiful stone formations, entering the farm right before the park entrance.
The square shade structure was key. I hung my hammock over the picnic table under it, and spent a very peaceful afternoon.
The free roaming horses (and a foal!) were magical.
There was plenty of red dirt trail to take walks and do photography.
Sunrise and sunset were lovely.
Cons
The signage leaves a LOT to be desired. There are 2 signs after you turn off the paved road, and then you are just… lost with no direction whatsoever. You see signs for other camps, but not this one.
The outhouse is straight out of a horror movie. The open hole is extends IN FRONT of the door, with full view of the contents below., which you have to step over to enter. The seat looks like its never been cleaned once. Utterly revolting. I would not touch it. And due to the hole in front of the outhouse everything below is illuminated in full daylight. The wind is strong, yet there is literally no way to keep the door closed unless you hold it by the window-hole while you hover…. And if you let it go, it flies completely open, slamming all the way to the opposite wall. Pro-tip: Have strong thigh muscles! For some reason there is barbed wire extending from the top of the door for no reason I could possibly comprehend, adding to the horror-movie effect.
If you arrive prepared for no toilet whatsoever, you will not be disappointed.

Host was excellent! Enjoyed staying on tribal land. Very unique place. Sparse but met my needs for a place to stay overnight.

The views right next to Monument Valley were beautiful. The host was very friendly as well. We loved hanging out here at this site! Sites are fairly close together, but still more dispersed than a typical campground. Very little shade is available, except by the picnic tables. We encountered A LOT of wind the first night. The site could be improved by putting more wind-damping tents/materials around the picnic tables.

The campsite was clean and well organized. I was able to set up shop right away and the host even came by to make sure I had everything I needed later that evening. She was a great resource at finding the best spot for a sunrise and took the time to chat about her culture which I was very much interested to learn more about.

We were in a camper van with own shower and the campground was absolutely perfect for this. Great views, great location for exploring monument valley. Krissie answered questions in chat and made us feel welcome. Thank you!
