We stayed at the RV park. Staff were super friendly, and helpful. Park was average. This whole facility is now owned by the Navajo people. Reason enough for us to stay there. We took a tour of Monument Valley, and although many tour companies exist, only Goulding's pucks up right at the RV park. It was Phenomenal. I highly recommend Goulding's.

What an amazing experience we had staying at the Goulding’s RV Park. It all started at the time of checkin. We had planned on spending 2 nights but decided to try and extend 1 more night. We will have to move you to space # 34. That’s fine, then when we get to that location, it’s the best seat in the house with beautiful views of Monument Valley looking through to window of the surrounding cliffs. Now on the afternoon of day 3 after returning from driving the valley, we stopped by the office wanting to extend 2 more nights, no problem, you want the same space? Yes absolutely please. The staff is kind, friendly, and so willing to help. The park is well maintained as is the rest of the Goulding’s properties. One must have dinner at the Lodge’s Stagecoach restaurant while watching the sunset, and tour the museum next door. Oh, and don’t forget the John Wayne Cabin. I don’t know that it’s hidden, but it’s a gem.

Stayed in a cabin at Gouldings RV Park. It was advertised as having a double bed, bunk beds and a loft bed. In fact, the loft was unusable by an adult (very low headroom) and if you used the ladder to climb up, it blocked the futon pulling out into the “double bed” (which was significantly smaller than a double and hard as a rock). The bunk beds were not full twin-sized (more like cot-size) and the only way to access the upper bunk was the ladder for the loft which stretched across the whole cabin, blocked the futon and also blocked access to the kitchen and bathroom. Terrible layout and not as advertised. Spent two extremely uncomfortable nights there. On the other hand it was a beautiful location. Our friends noted the lack of level RV spots. Not our favorite location on a 2-week trip through Utah parks.

We were able to make last minute reservations the last week of September for Gouldings campground and lucked out with an end site with a view! The people working there were very nice and the full hookups appreciated. We ended up staying an extra night and were able to get a different spot. The campground is quiet and clean. We used the laundry which was clean with multiple washers and dryers. We didn’t use the pool or anything else but people/ kids seemed to enjoy it all. You can also book tours that leave right from the campground . Monument Valley Visitors Center is literally 4 miles down the road. From there you book multiple tours, go on a hike, tour the museum, get food or just stand at the observation area and see the beautiful formations and a spectacular sunset. If you want full hookups and be away from the touristy madness yet very close to it all, I highly recommend Gouldings!

This is our second visit to Gouldings, our first time here was during Covid and the Navajo Nation was closed. So we came back. Gouldings Campground is a smallish RV resort in a canyon. This is the prettiest RV Resort we have ever been to. We have a 41 foot 5th wheel and are in site #48. It was easy access getting in, getting out is yet to be seen. We did the tour of Monument Valley narrator and guide was Billy, he did a great job, his dry sense of humor was fun. It was $90 per adult, a little pricy. But I learned a lot about Native Americans culture. We also toured (self) Valley of the Gods about 30 miles. It was a slow speed 17 mile tour. It was beautiful, as beautiful as Monument Valley. Gooseneck State Park is also a short drive away. $5 admission to view a unique river canyon. The desk st

The pool was nice for the kids. Closed a little early. Staff was friendly and helped us out. Sites were decent. A little small, but not terrible. The buildings on the road leading in are literally falling apart. There used to be a university but it's literally crumbling and has broken windows. Looks awful as you drive up to this RV park. We did not use laundry or overnight restrooms, but we did leave very early in the morning. Campground is nice and quiet at night. Biggest problem is that the grounds are infested with some type of desert roach. I am no expert and cannot speak on the type. I do know what once it got dark, they were running around everywhere (and they ran from light- which I've read are the type that infest homes and such, but again, not a bug expert). We packed everything outside up ASAP once we saw them. Hoping we didn't take any with us. We had to back out of our site to leave. The road between the 2 rows of sites is pretty narrow (with hills and trees) making it difficult for a 5th wheel to easily get in and out of certain sites. There was a much smaller camper in a much larger spot that probably should have been reserved for a larger rig, but wasn't the case.

Resort was very nice! Great views, hiking and close to restaurant. People are friendly. We signed up for 5am sunset monument valley Indian tour from camp site not the main lodge. The tour guide never showed up. We ended up driving on our own. They did refund our money, but recommended you book it from their main lodge and not camp site.

Positives: Beautiful location. So close to Monument Valley that you can even see it in the distance. Very interesting history (check out the film about the history of the Inn). Evening movies (John Wayne) set in the locale Very friendly staff. In a dark sky area. Negatives: Sites are not level and require significantuse of Lynx Levelers to get the rig level (sites would be fine for smaller rigs, but longer rigs pick up the slope). Internet is non-existent. Every so often, you can pick up a

If you're tent camping, go for the premium site T-10 if you can. It sits above the RV spots with an amazing view that allows for some beautiful sunrises. Sites T-7 and T-10 have fire pits and the other premium tent sites just have a grill stand. The fire pits also have grills though. The office nearby has a laundry, showers, an indoor pool, snacks, first aid stuff and various toiletries. They also have souvenirs and ice cream. I wish Monument Valley was more bike friendly though, and I wish their website let you pick the spot you want to reserve. Overall it's a great place for tent and RV camping and if I go camping near Monument Valley again I'll definitely come back here.

This is a beautiful campground right near Monument Valley Tribal Park. The sites are surrounded by huge buttes and you also have a great view of the famous monuments. The people that run it are awesome too! I highly recommend staying here. Much nicer than the KOA further north. Visiting this scenic area was the highlight of our trip!!
