Canyon de Chelly/Cottonwood

Canyon de Chelly National Monument is located in the northeastern corner of Arizona and is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the Southwest. The canyon is a deep, steep-walled canyon carved by the Chinle River and its tributaries. The canyon is home to many Native American tribes, including the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni. The canyon is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, elk, and bald eagles. The canyon is a popular destination for hikers, campers, and photographers. The Cottonwood Campground is located in the canyon and offers visitors a chance to stay in the canyon and explore the area. The Chinle Visitor Center is also located in the canyon and provides information about the canyon and its history.

This campground has no hook ups but does have a dump station and potable water station, the sites were level and were all tar each site had a picnic table and a charcoal grill, and clean toilets and a very helpful host,it is a self check first come first serve campground and we'll worth the $20dollars a night to stay

It seems as if this campground shall no longer have plumbing until the end of time. I stayed one more night and had to go to Basha's to fetch agua. While filling my tank a local streetDude requested U.S. currency for fireWater to which I responded "water is life." The campground is close to the south rim to see the big hole from atop a cliff. Some folks walk to the bottom. Back at the campground super large beetles converge at the campsite. They are slow and have hard backs. I touched a few. There's nothing to do at the campground.

Great to find a campground in this area. Good location. Was almost completely empty. Bathrooms are closed -ports potties in front of them. No water available. Overrun with ants. Can’t use picnic tables and they bite dog’s feet. $20 cash. Plenty of sites in the shade. Not terrible, but glad it is only one night. No camp host on site. I would not leave camper here unattended right now. Looks like it used to be really nice- it even has an amphitheater!

Perfect for visiting Canyon de Chelly. Nice gift shop near lodge. Sites were private enough for a night’s stay. Tons of goatheads in the soles of your shoes and dogs feet. Overall the only real place to camp with paved roads.

This is a great campground for overnight! I called before we headed there to see if they had pull-thru’s available and everyone was very kind on the phone. First come first serve so no guarantees, but we got one! Quiet, clean and we felt safe. We would definitely recommend this place!
