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 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!

We camped 3 nights in site #35 in our 30'TT in late April 2025. The staff were all welcoming, friendly, and busy taking care of the campground. The campground was about 15%-20% occupied. The middle loop has lots of mature cottonwood trees, which were just starting to sprout leaves. The other 2 loops have some trees, and some full sun sites. We found the campground to be remarkably quiet, well maintained, and with clean bathrooms with flush toilets. There was evidence that horses visit the area. There were two stray dogs who had a well-developed begging routine. They would go from campsite to campsite, looking for handouts. They were not pushy or aggressive about it. Our dogs are dog-reactive, so we made sure to keep our distance on walks. We had no conflict. There are goat heads in the campground. They are annoying, but easy enough to remove from paws and shoes (unlike sand burrs). We would consider staying here again. It's very convenient to Canyon de Chelly. We also visited Hubbell Trading Post and Window Rock.

Perfect location to visit the Canyon De Chelly. Larged spaced out graveled sites, roadway paved. Very quiet, safe, grounds clean. No issue with finding spot for 38 Class A with tow. 2025 $20 night.

Friendly, welcoming staff, plenty of sites available. Cash only, $20/night, free RV dump. Dry camping, water available, but beware it is murky and smells of bleach. We did not go in restrooms, but they are available. No showers. Generators welcome, but not after 8:30p. Our stay was just okay. One of our neighbors turned on their industrial generator around 9pm, and ran it for several hours. Obviously the camp host wasn't around to enforce the rules. We had two random off-leash dogs come into our site and poop. Trash was scattered around our site. The picnic table and barbecue need some love. Overall, a decent overnight spot.

Lovely campground. Only $20 (cash) per night. No hookups. Lots of trees. Close to the Canyon de Chelly National Monument Visitors Center. In February so only one of three circles were open but no problem finding a site.
